With a massive hangover on the 1 hr ferry from ko pha ngan, we tried to decide on ko samui where to stay. Nevertheless we didnt manage it and it wasn't until we were in a taxi, that we finally summoned the composure to do so.
we ended up in bungalow with a second floor in Chenang about a hundred metres from the beach. We didn't really do much the first day apart from catch up on some sleep.
That evening we decided to take in some of the sites of Ko Samui. On the way to one of the recommended bars the Reggae Club furzey got his nipple tweeked by a ladyboy, which chase found hilarious.
The following day we went go-karting, ashley the'junior champ' chase went into the race as favourite. Starting in pole position chase sped off, however before the end of the lap he was overtaken by chris 'the flyer' furze. The champ was ended up being overtaken by 'the flyer' no less than 3 times, at one point slowing down to goad him.
The afternoon was spent on the beach and whilst watching the water skiing, furzey couldnt resist another go at wake boarding.
Ashley decided to take advantage of the many tailors on the island offering great deals on suits. He had 2 talior made suits and shirts done to try to look the part when starting his new job in september. While waiting to check the fitting of the suit, we were entertained by the tailor who gave us a singa beer and sat us down to watch a bollywood movie with him which we really enjoyed. When we were all done and fitted we were tempted to stay for the rest of the film.
The next day, we woke early and went on a day trip to a marine park out at sea. We got on a speedboat and stopped for kayaking in the morning and snorkelling in the afternoon. The journey back was fun, as we decided to sit on the roof of the speedboat. We had to cling on quite hard when the driver decided to take a sharp right.
On the second night we entered a pool comp. After playing hundreds of games between us (Chase winning the lions share), we were quietly confident about leaving with the 1600 baht prize. However, furzey was knocked out in the 1st round while ash was knocked out in the second.
After successfully negotiating ourselves through the go go girls we made our way to the Green Mango Club, which looked like a pretty respectable establishment (no prossies). We had a few beers and even found our way to the dancefloor. Although at the start of the night there were no ladys of the night, by this time there were and ignoring them we thought they would go away. Wrong! To get out attention one of the ladys bit furzey on the neck! Luckily furzey had recently had a tetanus jab, but anyway decided to leave.
The next morning we started our ardious journey south.
