But we're not gonna stay here again, and dinner food is not as enticing or available.
Feb 12 we shlep our "leave it" bags to Rambuttri, then on to the Ekamai bus station for Rayong and the boat to Ko Samed = 700B about $24. We aren't in bargain land anymore ;-(
You don't want to see pictures of noisy polluted, smoggy Bkk. So here's the port, Ban Phe, Rayong, heading to Koh Samed.
Looking back at Rayong
And on to Ko Samed, 30' away. A famous piece of literature was written about this place and we are greeted by one of the characters from it.
Notice the fangs, shes alluring but dangerous!
It was all day travel through traffic jams into and then out of town to the bus station.
Lots of little add ons too. Oh there is a 200B National Park fee, and another 10B to get out of the docking area oh yes and another 30B for the "cab" (pick up truc with seats in the back) to close to our hotel. Well we actually got off easy, as we sat inside the a/c cab.
WE did have to drag luggage through a bit of sand to Samed Villa Resort however.
My first thought was: bathing suit into the ocean!!
Divine, gorgeous, relaxing, yummy, tropical paradise. More photos later I'm being devoured by mosquitos.
