January 3 - 8
After the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, we headed south to Koh Samui one of Thailand's largest islands. We booked into a tiny bungalow which was just yards from the beach.
The scene was idyllic - golden sands, brilliant blue sea and palm trees.
To cater for the thousands of thousands of tourists who arrive every year, the island has been massively developed. It is not the deserted paradise it was just a decade ago.
However, our accommodation on the Big Buddha beach was a bit out of the way so we got as close as you can to the 'real Samui'.

| Idyllic: The Big Buddha beach which was no more than 100 yards from our small wooden bungalow in Koh Samui |

| Day out: The Angthong National Marine Park which we visited on a day out during our time in Koh Samui |

| I bang my foot on some rocks |

| I wear Kelly-Ann's shades in the back of a 'taxi' because the wind was hurting my contact lenses |

Waterfall: We were taken there by a man who spoke no English on a safari trip. As a result, we don't know its name. It is in Koh Samui
