Soaked and stoked in Samui
Our bus to the ferry picks us up at 8. We drive for ages, before we get to the pier. It’s like 4 PM when we get on the boat, and it’s completly full. It’s an unpleasant day journey to say the least, but at 7-ish at night we arrive at our hostel, Buddha Lounge, in Koh Samui. We have dinner and instantly crash in our beds.
The next day, after several naps, we head to Chaweng to do some shopping for Songkran (Thai New Year) the next day. But it’s already begun. We are soaked within minutes, and I am scared that my camera, phone and ferry ticket will be destroyed, so I hold on to my bag for dear life. We see no other option than to buy a watergun now instead of later. We get two big ones for a total of 600 baht, and we particiapte in the fight for a while.
We go back to the hotel and chilled out for the evening. Our American roommate tells us about Peru and the amazing experience he had with Ayahuasca. We’re completely into his story for hours.
The next day, we are picked up at 6.30 in the morning to go to the pier, so we had needed the rest. This is only a short journey though, so three hours later, we’re at our hostel in Koh Phangan.
