Hi lovlies! I’m just tuning in to wish all my Thai readers a happy new year! Enjoy your holidays guys because you deserve it! I’ve been in pretty much every day to finish up my thesis, but we did go to enjoy some tunes and water play at the pool party Marriott Marquis the other day. Hey I even got a good splash while walking there and back, I think that’s enough for me this year around. So thankful nobody’s splashed me with ice water yet! Let’s see what tonight brings though – you never know!
I’ve definitely been getting in the gym hours though. There’s nothing better than an empty gym. Today we met up with our buddy Rishi and went training at his gym- The Cascade. It was such a great gym. Too bad it’s so far away. We also finally got to see their baby Thea, such a cutie!
We had an awesome time in Koh Samui during new year’s! We didn’t get all the sunshine we were hoping for, but it was definitely raining a lot less than I had expected… We stayed from the 30th to the 3rd and had two days where we encountered rain, but only for short periods of time. I’m so sad to see everyone stranded over there in both storm and flood now. Seems like we got out of there just in time.
Coconut MANIA on the beach. Oh and it doesn’t hurt with a little shot of rum…
Nikki Beach party kids!
We went a bunch of us and rented a Villa in Chaweng over New Years. Once the rest of the crowd went back home Tom and me moved to Bo Phut and stayed at The Sunday Sanctuary not far away from the fisherman village. The fisherman village has so many nice eateries and drink spots so make sure you get time to go there for a hangout if you have time. New year’s was more hectic. We went all the way to Nikki beach for the countdown, which was nice until it started pouring down. So glad we didn’t go to Phangan for the full moon party!
2 0 1 7… Hey babe!! I love you!!
So chill at The Sunday Sanctuary Hotel and Spa
Loved this hotel, so clean and simple. And cheap!!
Welcoming 2017 the right way
Going to and staying in Koh Samui can get pretty expensive during this time of the year. Cut your costs by renting a motorbike. It costs 150-250 baht a day and you don’t have to bargain with the taxis that charge rip-off prices. Unless you’re drinking… then don’t drive. And expect to pay whatever. So annoyed with all these drunk kids driving around there…
And also, if the plane tickets are sold out, or too expensive, check out Lomprayah. We did the bus and ferry to Koh Samui this time and it was pretty chill, and only 1400 baht per way.
Will we be bumping into each other there next year?
