Ko Samet


On our way back from Cambodia and seizing our last chance to spend some time with our "stubborn masochistic" friends Marcin and Rose, we made a small detour via the island of Ko Samet, a few hours from Bangkok.

Aware that the island is a favourite destination for Bangkokians needing a holiday, we were slightly surprised (and amused) by the abundance of Russians sprawling the island in all manner of undress, flaunting their less than toned bodies in ways reminiscent of a cross between sports illustrated and an issue of National Geographic dedicated to beached whales. "I'm beached as, bro"

Luckily, our luxuriously spacious bungalows were on a very calm section of the island, devoid of almost anyone except from us and a few lady-boy waiters/waitresses.

Chris and I only spent a full day there but it was lovely. We swam, we ate and drank and above all, we enjoyed having friends, a luxury which we will be missing for the next few months.

The next morning, it was time to part (litteraly) as we boarded the Malibu 5 en route to Bangkok and Marcin & Rose stayed behind making the most of a well-deserved holiday they have dreamt of for the last 10 000km (congrats) and will remember for the next 10 000km to Poland!
