Songkran and Samui

So we arrived at Ko Samui after a heard few days in Ko Phangan. We thought we would have some time to ourselves and get some much needed rest but that wasnt about to happen as Ko Samui had different plans for us...We started off touring the island looking at all the beautiful beaches and Waterfalls including the Big Buddha statue and elephant sanctuary which was amazing. You got to handfeed baby elephants which was a first! The next day was the Songkran festival which in Thailand is when there new year starts and they celebrate it by throwing water and talk over oncoming people! We got straight into the spirit and got ourselves some water guns and buckets to join in the fun. We hitchhiked all over the island soaking people as we went past! We enjoyed it more than the Thai people we think. After a few afternoon drinks on the balcony we headed out and found ourselves in a Ladyboy show! Ben didnt find it very interesting (which is what he told me) but i loved it because it was just like a musical! Infact the all the Ladyboys looked better than i did! I was jealous haha. We went back out onto the strip were all of the bars were absolutely soaking. The water fights continued on throught the night and we even managed to meet a couple from Liverpool who were on there Honey moon :-). They were lovely and we had a laugh, we drank lots of buckets and danced in the Mango club until 5 a.m. The next day we took it easy as our heads werent really feeling very good not suprisingly. We booked our bus that day and the following morning we were packed up and ready to head to Ko Tao to do a spot of a diving on what is supposed to be the best places for it! Cheers!
