Koh Samui, Thailand

For my first time I went over to the biggest east side island, koh Samui, to meet up with Eric and Isabella. I head off to the famous touristarea Chaweng beach were I later on met my friends. 
We spend the next day driving around this entire island on our hired scooters. We went to this spectacular waterfall, up in the mountains where we had to go off road through the jungle on the top of a jeep. Turned out that it wasn't much of a waterfall after all since it was to dry and barely any water. The trip there and back was good fun thought and it was still beautiful up there.  
After a full day of motor biking we returned to our hostel before having a 'big night out' since it was Friday and all. Beers and buckets, dancing, relaxing until early morning did make us stay in bed the entire next day. With our hangover, good thai food, air-con and lots of bottles of water we stayd in watching how I met your mother in our hotel room. Well, It was raining anyway ..

The next day we moved from Chaweng to Lamaibeach. A little bit more quiet and not as much tourism. Ended up in the middle of the monsoon rain on our way there, which was pretty much like standing in a shower. As soon as it was over and we all were checked in, we took our scooters to drive up to a viewpoint nearby.  My bad luck made me got stuck in the middle of the mountain on our way to the top, when I ran out of gas and had to walk the last part. It was worth it though with this amazing breathtaking view where you could see almost the entire island, just while the sun  was setting down. We could buy some gas on the top, thanks good, and we were ready to head back home. 
As it was a Sunday night they had a big market going on on the streets. So we headed straight back out to explore that one. After some good street food and cheep drinks me and Isabella left Eric at a massage while we continued our shopping ourselves. And our combination of beer and shopping usually make us buy stupid things but we actually did okay this time. Got away with a few heliumballoons .. 

Our last day together we went for zip-lining, where you go by zip lines between the trees through the jungle. We all got a little bit disappointed that it was a quite short distance, otherwise we had good fun.  
We had to go back to Chaweng to return my motorbike,  so we stayed there for swimming and a good dinner on this beautiful beach before return back to ours.
We spend the night together on the beach. just the three of us, some good music, beer and a lightful sky. Left some fire balloons too before we called the night and I had to say goodbye to Isabella and Eric as it was about time for me to head down to Malaysia.
