We had a very long and bizarre journey from Phuket to Koh Samui. Three minibuses, a tuk tuk, a ferry and a taxi. It was well worth it, Samui's great!

We have stayed in Phuket for ages! It's been great to have a holiday within a holiday. We have mostly relaxed and chilled out by the pool, we have ventured into Patong a few times, we got free tickets to "Simon Caberet" which I'm glad were free because we watched a much better Lady-Boy show in town in a bar.

The Petronas Twin Towers dominate the skyline but the best view of the city is from KL Tower. They are almost as crazy for shopping malls here as they are in Singapore, we have just walked through their IT Mall - Eight storeys full of everything, Cameras, Mobile Phones, MP3 Players, Com...
