Hello! only 4 more nights and 3 days till we're home! our time here is starting to fly by and tomorrow we're heading back to bangkok! Ko samui has been really good fun! we met up with some uni friends for dinner and a cringy ladyboy show! we've sunbathed everyday, had massages and eaten seafood platters! However, all good things must come to an end and tomorrow night we'll be back on an overnight local bus! weather has been a bit mixed on the islands but we h...
