Next stop was the island of Ko Samui, which took 4 hours by coach and 2 hours by ferry to reach, but was definately worth it. We stayed at the Sandy Resort, which was just off the beach and had a pool and loungers on the beach.
On the first day we were there we had a boat trip round some of the 40 islands that make up the atol. We did a bit of snorkling, although there weren't may big fish that was probably for the best. We even had lunch on a remote beach that could only be reached by boat.
On the evening of the second night, we went to see a ladyboy show, I don't think I could listen to a Tina Turner song in quite the same way, not that I'd want to anyway. Poor Damien from our tour group got dragged up on stage and humiliated a little bit, but it was all very funny. After spending the remaining time swapping between the beach and the pool, we headed to Bangkok on the overnight train. We had proper sleeper beds, although I didn't get much sleep with all the rocking and strange noises.
