This past weekend Tim and I were able to get out of Bangkok again, this time we went south to the island Koh Samet (fun fact, Koh means "island" in Thai).
Despite my feeling a bit ill on Sunday, we had a really fun and relaxing time. After landing on shore we spent a bit of time looking for the guest house that was recommended to me by my coworkers - Tuk's Resort. We were glad we took the extra few minutes looking for it, because it really was a fantastic place to stay. Clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful and quiet location:

The only problem is that the stone path leading to our room was usually covered with little teeny tiny frogs quickly jumping to get out of our way, so we always had to watch our step very carefully whenever walking to or from the room.
Adorable little frog
We had most of our meals at the resort next to us, called Jep's. The food was delicious (one of the best Greek salads I ever had) and the prices were fairly decent. It was also right on the beach, and so very beautiful and relaxing.
A lot of my co-workers were surprised that this was my first time getting out to Koh Samet, but all of them said that I ended up falling into their exact routine by booking my room with Tuk's and eating at Jep's.
It was the perfect mini-vacation!
Tim and I are getting pretty excited for our Vietnam vacation. We've been looking at things to do and places to stay, and are probably going to book our rooms for the first couple of nights sometime today. I took a personal day off work so we can go see some museums together downtown, as well as go to Khao San road to buy a few things before we take off.
Only three more days before we leave Saturday morning!
Lots of love,
Kelsey, and Tim
What a beautiful location. Eating on the beach ... it doesn't get much better than that!
