Day 100 - Koh PhanganWe awake and look out the window and the sun is shining :) We go for some breakfast at the restaurant attached to where we are staying, after breakfast an old thai man (we think its the father of the woman that runs the place) came over all smiley and gave us some free fruit, some banana and some langsat. We'd seen people eating this langsat but never knew what it was. You basically peel the outside and the fruit is in 5/6 segments and tast...

I saw him run along the wall and out of the wooden slats to outside, he was ...

Day 96 - Koh SamuiAnother lie in this morning but we unfortunately awake to lots of cloud this morning, the aussie couple are checking out and we are now the only ones staying in the hotel. We grab some breakfast and decide that now is a good time to plan what we are doing after Koh Phangan so more research begins.
