Well it's day 8 and things have settled in a bit.......Koh Samui is very nice and the weather has been very cooperative so far - nothing too extreme. Finally got in some beach time and yesterday rented a scooter and toured the southwest part of the island and coast. A bit touristy here but it's actually been a nice thing after the sensory bombardment in Hua Hin. Some rather depressing aspects about life here I find, but trying to accept and enjoy!

Finally figured out how to get some pics on here so won't be able to say much more - running out of time. Hopeflly much more in a few days. Another day or two here then off to Malaysia!

Bye and hope you are all well!
