Ben and zulu left for koh Samui a couple of hours before the three of us so we said we'd meet them at there place in lamia called lamia chalets. When we arrived it started 2 rain and ben said he'd go and speak 2 the owner 2 see if he had any rooms available. He managed 2 get us a bottom of the range chalet for 200 baht a night which is less than £4. It had its own toilet and cold shower and thats it. The complex has a swimming pool, laundry service and restaurant and Thai massage area and is about 6 feet from the beach. As you may have guessed our accomodation is basic, but great if your on a budget. That evening we went out with a few of the other people staying in the hostel. We walked in to Lamia town center and managed to catch a few fights of Muoy Thai which is the martial art of Thailand. While i enjoyed the men fighting i wasn't the womens and childrens bouts. The entry fee was you had to buy a beer and seen as we where all doing that already that was no great shakes. When we decided to walk back to the chalets at about 3ish Ben convinced us to stop at a Thai massage place and have an oil massage. I know they have a seedy reputation about the end but i can assure you that i didn't partake in any such sleazey activities. The massage was excellent and we all laughed and joked all the way through. I'd been and used the internet that day to tell Ms Carter where we were staying as she was planning on coming 2 the island as well.
Ben and i got up early the next morning to the beach and have a lie down because the weather was amazing. About 11 o'clock Tom came down and said that i had a visitor. As soon as the words came out of his mouth i knew who he was talking about. I rammed my stuff into my bag and ran up the beach to see Rebecca. We hugged for ages then i gave Jess a hug and she started crying. No tears from Rebecca but you could see in her face and smile that she was as happy to see me as i was to see her. I introduced her and the rest of her team to my team. When they'd all unpacked the nine of us went down the beach and layed about catching up and going swimming in the sea which was really warm. That evening we all went into Lamia for a few drinks which was a really good laugh because there was so many of us.
Over the next few days the boys played football and the girls sunbathed. We started all going out for meals together in the evenings which was a really good laugh. The first night we all went out we walked along the beach to a restaurant called the Black Pearl. We all sat around one big table and had a really good time, we ate drank and got very merry. Thai people walk along the beach selling lots of different stuff so i bought a lucky lantern which your supposed to set on fire and let it float of into the sky because it brings you good luck. When we got back 2 the hotel i got a pen and we all wrote a message on it before sending it into the night sky. We all had a great time doing it and there was even some Welsh banter about the flag. We stayed up late that evening playing drinking games and larking about.
We also got mopeds again but this time not everyone got one. I took Rebecca on the back of mind and Zulu took Jess on the back of his. It took ages to get to places because I nor Zulu wanted to damage our cargo. We stopped at a few waterfalls and even drove to the top of a mountain where we stopped at a cafe that poked out of the surrounding jungle which offered spectacular views across the island.
That evening we drove to the largest town on koh Samui called Chaweng. We had food an a white sand beach which was stunning. The seafood was amazing but quite spicy. We all had a really good evening, most of us didn't have a drink because we were driving and in need of a night off.
Once we'd dropped off the mopeds the next day a few of us went to the driving range which was really cheap. Rebecca was hitting the ball the furthest followed by me then foxy. It was Ben and Zulu's last night so we all went for another meal in Lamia which again was stunning.
