Things to do/see in Koh Samui

We didn't have much time to explore the island, but studying its map, it seems to be pretty small and nothing exceptional which is a must-not-missed attraction.

On our first day after arrival and checking in, we were starving and went out to look for some food. It was late afternoon and maybe because of that, we couldn't find anything much on its main street outside the hotel. Walked a long way and decided to turn back to venture into Fisherman's Village of Bophut.

Ahh~ no wonder we can't find any food stalls on the inner street. All the food galore is in this little lane of Fisherman's Village. But since it's a mainly tourist spot, food there is expected to be on the higher range. As we were famished by then, we had no choice. I asked for tomyum, my absolute favorite whenever we are in Thailand.

Hubs was coaxing me into his idea to rent a bike for the next day to venture around the island. I was not very enthusiastic about it all, coz, you know, my make up and hair would be all messed up??!!! Nay!~ I just felt unsafe riding pillion behind a no-lesen fler. And and... how about all the stuffs we need to pack to go on an adventure like this? My water bottles, change of clothing, towels, etc... yikes! I was running out of excuses and he was still excited about his whole idea.

Anyway, in the end, he changed his mind after he checked out the price for go-kart. It costs like double for a 10 mins ride compared to renting a whole car for 24 hours??!! Vroom~ He was very pissed and he settled to a car, much to my relief when I was about to give in to his biking plan.

The next day, after breakfast and listening to its hour long presentation, the price we "paid" for the 2 nights stay, we went off to check out its town and some of the highlights of Koh Samui.

Went for a walkabout at this big gold Buddha and hit some gongs said to scare of bad luck leaving only the good ones around us. *smirk*

Went for a foot massage while hubs asked for a good back massage for his back pain. It was nice to be pampered like this.

Went to this lookout point with its amazing rock and sea scenery. I would have freaked out if the kids were there, as I would be worrying for their safety walking near to its edge. But being just on our own, we just need to look after our own backs and it was fun to feel adventurous like this.

Then we walked around Tesco and had a cheaper Thai dinner with tomyum (what else?) at some outskirts from the tourists spots.

That's about all we did in Koh Samui!
