Thailand wasn’t a complete downer. It gave us the start to exploring and we did
see some cool stuff as well as meet people.
One thing we did was visit one of the islands near Rayong called Ko
Samet. It was about a 45 minute ferry
ride from the mainland and a beautiful sight.
Since the ferry was taking us to the area where our hotel was, we got to
ride a good ways around the island. The
wind was blowing, the water was clear, and vacation was beginning! Upon arriving at the beach, we hoped onto a
smaller boat that took us closer to shore at which we then had to wade in the
shallow water to finally make it to land.
There was a small fee collected when arriving because it’s a national
park…luckily we were able to show proof that we lived there so paid the Thai
price, not the foreigner price.
Off we went to the hotel to drop off our stuff and head to
the beach. Three days of relaxing at the
beach…I think so! It was amazing (and
much needed). We just sat in the water
most of the time and enjoyed each others company. The only downfall of the island was that they
overcharged for everything…no more $1.00 meals.
