The last couple of days in Samui gave us some spectacular thunderstorms and at one point, I wondered if the rice barges would start floating!

I had a massage at the hotel, right by the beach. Normally I'm not a fan of massages, but this one was incredible. For an hour, I was rubbed, pulled, stretched, and covered in what seemed like a gallon of aloe vera. Sometime during the massage, the masseuse took my bathing suit top off and later put it back on -- I was putty in her hands! And all for the princely sum of $15.

The airport at Koh Samui is big enough to handle international flights, but small enough to give a resort-like feel to it.
There are comfortable lounge chairs, and a complimentary snack station with beautiful Thai treats.

The hotel is in a great location, and is nice and roomy.

| The shopping centers reminded us it is just 2 days before Christmas! The food courts are incredible though with gourmet food and a selection like nothing I've seen |

At first glance, Bangkok has surprised us in that it is not as smoggy as feared, it is cleaner than expected, and like everything else we have experienced in Thailand -- it is well organized. We will start some serious sightseeing today and at midnight, we'll be welcoming Brad and Anette to Thailand. That will mean Christmas is really here.
