After escaping the hell known as Patong Beach, I headed for the quieter beach setting of the island of Ko Samui. Although the vendors were still pushy, it was far less than Patong. If you only have a few days to spend on the beaches of Thailand, I’d go to Ko Samui instead of Phuket.
One day I took a scooter around the island and another day I did a tour which included an animal show, stone garden tour and a mountain trek on the back (and top) of a 4 WD truck.
What exactly is a “Tea puccino”, MAS? And, are you heartbroken that you were prevented from wearing your “Man bikini”, atleast in public?
Tea puccino is black tea with foamed milk on top. It was new to me.
The “man bikini” restriction was just for one temple, so I wasn’t too heartbroken.
