Koh Phangan- last days in Thailand!

So the end is here, we are in our last location-  an island called Koh Phangan.
Its is beautiful as expected, but we did like Koh Samui a bit more. I will post a full summary of our trip on the next post;)
Anyway so we got here and we are staying in a place called Cosy Bungalows and we were a bit afraid of the bungalow as last experience on Koh PhiPhi we really didnt enjoy the visitors we had (lizards, cockroaches, ants etc) :p
And as we feared we had some spiders and loads of litte ants everywhere so we had to go around killimg them and spraying them with mosquito spray which i think helps;)
The worst thing is leaving any rubbish like food leftovers or fruit in the room, they will be on it straight away!
But the bungalow is literally at the beach! You open the door and 3 meters to the sea! So thats obviously amazing!
The sea is clear green and the sand is soft and white but there isnt much room to sunbathe  unless you want to sit next to the restaurant/ bar on the beach chairs ( I think they have only 2 of them). So far we havnt been able to sunbathe here at all unfortunately as its been cloudy and raining all the time!:(
It' s still nice and we also did something we should have done from the first time we got to Thailand- rent a scooter!
We  have been paying for tuk tuk's ( the open taxis) as when we tried one of the scooters in Ayutthaya
Archie really couldnt balance it and the exelerator was too sensitive, plus the scooter seemed super old and thats the fist time we tried to ride one so because we had a bad experience we thought all of them are like that and stayed away.. But here we agreed to try again and this ended up being great!
We went around the island- to see different beaches and mountains and views!
There is amazing nature put here and I wish we would have done it in more islands espevially Krabi and Koh Samui as I feel they both had much more to offer than were we stayed. We only saw a glimpse of the islands without the scooter.
We managed to get under a massive rain as well. We also visited a local Muay Thai gym which also had all the equipment one needs to have a good workout;) its called Koh Phangan Muay Thai & Fitness Gym.
Now we are chilling at this seaside restaurant bar which has the best wifi and lookimg out to the sea whilst its raining. Most places her have the hammocks here so you can really relax and swing away;)
Tomorrow we have a long trip with a boat and then a sleeper train to Bangkok, after that we will have a day at Bangkok and a night in a hotel followed by our flights back home. Archie will go back to uk and me to Estonia - so different flights that last a whole day all togteher..
And then home sweet home- cant wait!;)
 Sending you kisses!
Here are some pictures from the amazing nature in Koh Phangan;)

Krabi 7 island tour and Koh Samui!

Hey my dears!
So, the 7 island tour in Krabi was awesome! We were visiting different islands with a boat and stopped on some of the Islands and also near the islands to make nice pictures.
We also went snorkelling which was so cool!!
We wore life vests so that we could just float on the water relaxing whilst watching the fish and the aqua life.. Archie needed 2 life vests to keep him up! Haha
The beaches that we saw on some of the Islands were incredible!!
So remote, clear green/blue water, white sand and just so nice for the eye to see..
Paradise!
I also went to jump down from one of the climbing walls as well which was like in the side of a mountain/rock straight into the sea;)
We also did night snorgelling where we saw glowing plankton , we had to move our hands in the water to see it.. New experience for sure.
It all ended with a fire show:)
Next day we chilled in the Aonang beach and went to the gym as always:D
I'll tell you some about our experience with the local restaurant/shop people as well.
The Thai people we have met so far have all been very nice and friendly but there has been few occasions when the people havnt been that friendly.
So usually for breakfast I like to have banana shakes just bananas (3-5) and ice and water.
Now here everywhere they usually make it with 1 or 2 bananas and milk and sugar etc..
So I went to this place and asked if it's possible to do it with 4 bananas, ice and water and first they just said no!  Not even like, sorry we can't because this this.. Just NO!
:D after some explaining and trying I managed to get them to do it but as they were doing it you could see from their facial expressions how annoyed they were and they weren't hiding it:D
After that situation I still went there again because there weren't any other smoothie places around..
Omg they were so annoyed everytime and hating on me and refusing the last time so next time I sent Archie and some how he manged to get  some..
Anyway this is the story about my bananasmoothies :D
Now we are at Koh Samui which is on the other side of South Thailand and it took us a whole day almost to get here from Krabi island.
The beach is soo nice here!!! Same clear green blue water and soft white sand! Busier beach tho but still nice!
Got such nice pictures up on fb from the place!
On the beach there are so many sales people walking by trying  to sell their stuff, and when we were at the beach earlier ( Chawong beach) there was this little sales girl selling  us some flower necklaces,,, although we were both telling her no.. She was so cute and persistent that we got them at the end.. We also made pictures with her , she's the little girl with us on the nice beach us wearing the flowers on our necks haha!
The hotel is really lovely as well, I like the room and the location is near to the beach , plus the place I get my smoothies done had a lovely staff, so friendly and happy to go the extra mile.. The gym is good -owned by this massive guy who had long chats with Arcie.
So far I have loved Koh Samui! I really recommend!!!
Next stop-- also our last stop -- Koh Phangan!!!
Tomorrow we will go there for another 3 days and then off to Bangkok again and home sweet home!!
Hope it's not too cold where you are-- here it's still over 30 every day!!:D
Sending you sun!

Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and Krabi Islands

I can't believe the last post I wrote was a week ago!! Where does this time go????

I left off from Phi Phi island where we arrived and hadn't yet seen the beach in daylight.
It sure did look amazing with the big massive mountain-rocks and light green water..
We were sunbathing most of the day and for entertainment we played with a  frisbe that we got from the local shop. In the evening we went to the gym that we were searching for last night-it was basically at the other end of the island last time. Anyway, the gym was quite fancy and cost more than the previous gyms we have been ( comparison -Chiang Mai 60 baht /there 400 baht ). It did have amazing views to the sea and mountains and it looked very good with new equipment.
Next day we had a similar day. We loved he island itself but we hated how far up the hill our hotel was, and we weren't found of our bungalow room we had at all because of all the bugs inside the room and noises in the night:/
Next day we took a ferry to Koh Lanta island. Now this island has been the most remote so far in terms of tourists and stuff going on.  It seemed a smaller island with mostly local people. We stayed in this nice bungalow which was new and modern and it was literally straight at the beach.
The beach was nice but there were loads of rocks so you couldn't really swim properly.
We also visited a local gym, all the equipment was good but fairly basic gym. I also got a toothache, foot numbness and diarrhea from there. Not sure if the location is the one to blame.. Don't think so.
The weather was quite cloudy when  we were there, but I think the sun was still getting us tanned through the clouds as we both had stronger tan lines. I also got into collecting shells from the beach as they look so cool and they make nice  souvenirs;)
We didn't go around Lanta too much as I wasn't feeling great .
Now we are in Krabi Island. I like it here!
So far the hotel is in a good location, room is ok, beach is nice, all the restaurants and shops are close, even the gym is  3min away which we will explore tomorrow morning before our 7 Island tour.
When we got here today we went to the beach and as we were laying there I saw a guy with blue/black and white shorts on- definitely estonian. It was cool to see and I started thinking that I want to get something with estonian flag colours :)
Whilst sunbathing a woman came to talk to us and offered us massages. We agreed to go with her and we both got full body massages.. I enjoyed mine a lot as I like the massage hard and she was strong and really good. I was so sore from training and walking  and sitting on busses crunched over so that was exactly what I needed!
Archie wasnt that happy with his massage as he didn't think it was strong enough, I think my woman could have been stronger to him but I really liked how she was massaging me so I really hoped he can sort it out by getting someone stronger but came out not really:/
Anyway hour long full body massage  400 baht which is about  £7.50  crazy heh! On uk it would be £45 or around that :D
We had some food and went for a walk on the steers after, Archie got called a bodybuilder many times and got asked about his training. People are also touching his biceps a lot:D
Local celebrity:D
Anyway now we  are laying at the hotel room and listening the rain. Yes , it started raining really really heavily.. When it rains it really rains here . An umbrella couldn't stop this!
Like I said, tomorrow 7 island tour., not sure how the weather will be but hopefully it will be  sunny and the tour cool and that we get a lot of nice pictures;)
It's not great wifi ATM, but will try to add pictures here after. So come and have a look in few days or else from fb;)
Sending sun to where you are!
