350km completed so far. Now, having had a ride around half of Samui, and to be honest, in like my best travel agent stylee.....(also having had a few beers)I'll try to sum it up....deep breath.....ok, from what I have seen I am sure that if you get a glossy travel mag and you book yourself into a bespoke, boutique, ridiculously westernised priced, all inclusive, top end gaff with your own bit of beach sat on a fancy mahogany deck chair with topless butler silver service then maybe this island is for you. All I ask is that you take a step back from the falseness and before you get to the security guards on the front door you will notice that it's a shit hole and smells somewhat similar.....yes, some of the beaches ARE nice, but if like me your not that keen to allow sand in the area of the bum cakes twenty four seven then maybe you too could be disappointed. Behind these double glazed closed doors you will not find Asia....sorry.!
Maybe if you venture out of your oasis and into the crammed chaos of dirty, knackered streets packed with makeshift bars competing for customers selling 'pies and peas with chips and gravy' with an orgasmic cocktail offer in the 'Irish' bar to boost your karma does it for you then maybe you have found your Nirvana.....
......for me, well the rugby might be on later so it's off to get served by a fat bloke with a tattooed face and no doubt some piercings in places I don't want to think about before iv had at least a pint of stout and a couple of cherry B's....Come on England....!!
A nice chilled out song by a chilled out band to end a chilled out day......
