Koh Samui

Right when we got off our flight in Koh Samui we went to the Big Buddha temple.

It really was pretty big. 

Then we walked around near Bophut Fishing Village. 

After that we went back to our hotel.  This is the view when you drive up. 

They give you a very nice welcome. 

Ari and I took so many pictures of our room.  I had never stayed in a hotel this nice. 

That night we went to dinner at a nice restaurant. 

It was yummy, but I didn't love that we were both given food with eyes. 

The next morning we hung out around our hotel some and relaxed. 

In the afternoon we went to visit the Na Muang Waterfalls.  

This was the first waterfall that you just park and walk right up to. 

Then we decided to visit the second waterfall.  You have to park down the road, and then walk a short but steep walk to get to it.

On the way we saw some cool spiders. 

This was my favorite waterfall of the trip because I had to climb lots to get there, and it was really empty because people are lazy. 

Our hotel was so big, with each person having their own separate rooms, that we had to take a golf cart everywhere except breakfast.  When we rented our car, they made sure it was only the two of us going in it.  They said if it was more than two our car wouldn't make it up to the hotel. 

The next morning for our last full day in Koh Samui we went on a "luxury boat tour" to the Angthong Nation Marine Park. It is a lot of little islands near each other in a protected area. 

After a two hour boat ride, we went snorkeling in a cove. 

Then we rode some more to another area where we went kayaking. 

Just riding on the boat from place to place was beautiful. 

The last thing we saw was this cove.  We had to climb a lot of very steep stairs to the top. 

The guide took this picture of us on panoramic.  Didn't it turn out awesome? 

We climbed down more stairs, some of which were almost just a ladder to get down by the water. 

This was our view from breakfast on our last morning.  The hotel really was incredibly beautiful. 

We flew out to Singapore that day.  Even the airport has gorgeous mountain views. 

I always love an airport where you have to walk out on the tarmac to get to your plane.
