We'd already decided yesterday that we were going to be moving on today. Even though we're quite impressed with Ko Samui - and the Free House is great, we need to get to Bangkok by about the 24th, so that we can sort our Vietnam Visas in time for the 'Olds' visit on the 29th. We had some breakfast and then sat in the beach bar until about 11am, waiting for our taxi to take us to the port. The boat trip over to Ko Pha Nang didn't take long - I think there's only a distance of about 15kms between the two islands, so we were soon getting off and wandering around the dock. The sun was shining and we couldn't really be bothered to spend our day looking for somewhere to stay, so when the first friendly guy with a decent looking place came along, we were happy to jump in his taxi.
We were told that the place we were being taken to, Haad-Tian Beach Resort, had it's own private beach - so we were quite looking forward to it, but when we were arrived we couldn't believe our luck. The place was AWESOME! It's got a great little beach, a massive pool and our bungalow is easily the best we've stayed in so far - plus we're only paying 500 Baht... bargain! We found that we had an open wifi signal here so we tried a Skype call with Mum and Keith. It was actually one of the best signals and we chatted for well over an hour.
Afterwards, as the sun was setting, me and Nikki went for a swim in the pool and the had some of the delicious food in the restaurant. On our way back to our room we stopped in the little reggae bar and had a couple of beers with the owners - Speedy and Chad - and that proved to be the perfect way to round off a great afternoon.
Thailand is fast becoming our FAVOURITE place... wonder how much a house is here?
