Lovely Koh Samui: Where We Stayed and What We Did

Ahh...Lovely Koh Samui indeed.. The 3 of us made our way to the beautiful island last monday and spent a wonderful week there enjoying the sun, the sea, the sand, the people, the food, the culture and time together as a family. It was our first time there and I must say, it made quite an impression on us. We are thinking of moving there for good and maybe sell chicken rice. Only thing is that we don't know how to cook chicken rice. Or perhaps we could sell bubble tea... we don't recall anyone selling that there.... Hmm...

Where We Stayed

The lovely Amari Palm Reef resort. We Like.

Where we have breakfast every morning

Ethan- very pleased with the room.

Things We Did

Looking at the little fish and hermit crabs in the sea.

Ethan holding on to a little piece of coral he found.

We love the beach!

Ethan kayaking for the first time (or rather daddy was doing the kayaking while ethan and his mummy were enjoying the ride). Mummy was on the verge of a heart attack most of the time as Ethan kept wanting to stand up and look over into the water which rocked the boat somewhat. Mummy thought she was being very clever when she used the explanation "But ethan, if you keep standing up, we will all fall into the water. Do you want to fall into the water?" to which Ethan said yes.

Ben and I took turns going for a complimentary Thai massage at the resort spa.

I went for another one on the morning of the day we were to return. It was at one of the many beach side massage places. Nice!

Lounging around

We walked along the streets of the main town (just a short distance from our resort), looking for places to eat or to look at what the shops had to offer.

We rented a car and drove around the island to explore. (Do you know that there are just 4 traffic lights in Koh Samui?)
