It was a long day. It started around 5 in the morning. At 7:30 was our flight to Koh Samui. And at noon our ferry went from Koh Samui to Koh Tao. A two hours ride in air-conditioned catamaran. Before the ferry took off Chie and I had some time to spend laying on the sandy beach next to the ferry. Of course it was a stupid thing as I had no sun protection, and I got a little bit pink. But I heard pink was the fashion this year.

Arriving in Koh Tao we were welcomed by a person from the Thirwimarn hotel. And we got a ride with him there. Check in, and some relaxing in the lobby watching the beautiful view.

After unpacking our thing we went to have a late lunch and then hit the pool to cool off. And then it was time to get ready for dinner. We got a ride by one of the persons at the hotel, for a small fee. Then we did the town… Village… It took us 5 minutes. Just to locate where to buy water and other things like underwear, since I forgot to bring any.

Dinner was at Tong Thai restaurant. Just about when we were ready to go it started to rain. Or rather pour down. And thunderstorms. Needless to say we decided to stay a while longer.It took another 50 minutes or so before it finished. Then shopping water, Singha (Thai beer), and milk, among other things. And get a ride home.

At the hotel we had a new experience. A strange sound WOOAP, WOOAP or something. It sounded a little like whales on land. We still have no idea what it was, but a guess is that it was some kind of frog. Some other kind of frog was sitting almost on every one of the steps to our cottage. We had to zig-zag our way down. It was kind of fun, but we had to be quite concentrated not to step on any of them.

By the way, we also found out that we could not flush paper in the toilet in our room. So every time we need paper we either put it in the waste basket or take a shower instead. We decided to do the latter, so that we would not get a smelly bathroom.
