A change of scheduling has left me "stranded" in the tropical paradise of Ko Samui.
After over a month of traildust, it is soooo good to be back to coconut palms & sandy beaches.
I am staying in Bo Phut (aka Fisherman's Village), it is one of the quiet spots on the island, with not a lot of distractions. Things have moved a little up-market since last time I was here, ATMs & internet are available, but the town has a special charm (just one street, lots of little fishing boats, plenty of elbow room on the beach etc.
Marc, you will be horrified to know that my hut is luxurious, with all the mod-cons including a fridge, TV & A/C. It's not quite the hut-life that I remember...but I could get used to it :)
I don't know how long I will be in BoPhut for...I am thining about heading to the East coast, then maybe take a boat to Ko Phangan and seeing if the sunshine is any different there.
The Chinese have a saying that the hours one spends fishing (recreationally) are added to the duration of one's lifespan. I feel the same about here...it's like a vacation in the middle of my vacation, and it's just fabulous.
If anyone needs to find me in case of an emergency, go to Na Thon, walk East along the beach until you see a small, brown, Canadian boy with a frisbee, a towel, and a big smile...I'll be next to the 3rd palm tree on your right.
