In Our everyday life in Samui and Everyday life in Samui-2 one can read how it have been when we just have arrived to Samui.

We try to go to the beach more often sunbathing and swimming. But when there are waves and the water is cloudy, we go to the swimming pool at the hotel located near the sea. Pool is excellent, with jacuzzi, etc.

Lena is enjoying the sun before leaving

Alex is swimming with plumeria flower

I'm relaxing in jacuzzi)))

Recently, at night it was the attack of some flying insects, reminded Stephen King novel “The Dark Half” ))) But our geckos were happy, blissfully overeat.

The sounds are only the swish of wings

The life is well underway, every day is like the previous one, and I such a stability makes me feel oppressed. Again, I want something new. Soon we go to Bangkok And then go home.

Specially for Max, the most cute massage girl, to my taste, of course

Why is she sad? I don't know))))))

We were searching for karaoke in Samui for a long time. Lena wanted to sing. But we couldn’t find anything. But today we at last found this.
The whole evening my beloved wife was shining and wallowing in glory. The staff called the owner of this bar and he came with flowers. It was a sensation.
The local musician took his guitar and went away.
We were waiting for the job offer
I enjoyed the evening and made only several videos.

Grigoriy Leps- Labyrinth.

Venus – Bananarama

Je t’aime – Lara Fabian

The bar itself is mostly for Thai people. It is situated not far from Lamai Fresh Food market if to go to the beach the first turn left. It’s heard in the evening. The musical equipment is good, as well as prices, to sing is for free.

There are many houses and land for sale, of course this is not the first line of the sea, but one do not have to go far in the jungle A lot of ads for the business premises, usually on the second floor there are living rooms.

Property prices in Thailand are quite different, depending on the part of the country.
For example, in Phuket everything is very expensive, a house with a swimming pool will cost from 5 million baht ($ 170,000). And then, one must search well, we are talking about Kata Beach.
In Pattaya, prices are much lower, probably offers more than enough where a decent house will cost from 3 million baht ($ 100,000).
Koh Samui offers less, but the prices are similar to Pattaya. But do not forget that in Pattaya the sea is very bad.
Just remember, the houses here are selling fully ready for occupancy, do not need repairs, you can simply select the location, design, furniture and settle

I'm talking about the house like this

Just a large number of small rooms are sold, you will not find them on the websites, people just hang a sign with a telephone number and price. Recently, by the way, the premise was sold not far from our house, the European have bought it and made a small bar there. The price was 120,000 baht ($ 4,000).

Now he's using it as a bar, has made minimum repairs, put tables, the square is about 20-25 sq.m.

Enough people give ads in local newspapers, I came across a very decent options. For example for 750,000 baht ($ 25,000) a large bar on the main street with living rooms above it is sold. Buy, live and work:)

It's like this, usually the owner lives on the second floor

By the way, here they build quickly, I do not know why, probably due to the fact that the heat insulation is not necessary, or maybe just got a good superintendent. But the apartment building, on the way to kindergarten, is already finished. And when we arrived, they were digging the foundation.

There is one BUT

The Kingdom of Thailand Legislation allows foreign nationals become owners of property, but without the right to land ownership. In Thailand formally the residents can not own the land.

Thai people understand that Europeans would buy everything for such nice prices.
People invent something, find different variants But it’s not legal, one must realize that can lose both money and property.)

To buy or not to buy everyone decides for himself But you must admit, the offers are tempting

We decided to go north of the island in the area Chaloklum on the beach Malibu. There were too much rave reviews about this place)

They drove for a long time, the roads at Phangan are horrible, just some kind of roller coaster, cover slipped down to the cliffs here and there, in general, it was not much fun. But when we walked along the path through the trees and saw the Malibu, we just could not believeв the eyes! The crystal clear sea, white, soft sand like flour, fanciful trees … The beach, which we have not ever seen!

It’s just heaven on earth

In a small bar on the beach Bob Marley softly sings about Everything’s gonna be all right … And you know, old Bobby was right, everything is great!

We had a lot of time, the taxi driver had promised to come back for us at 4 p.m., to take us to the pier. We settled down in the shade of the trees, drinking beer, swimming, sunbathing and simply went mad. That was real Sanuk amd Sabai)))

Feeling unreal happiness, peace and paradise of pleasure, here’s what we experienced on the beach Malibu.
At 5-30, we pushed off from the island, and I threw a coin into the water to come back there again …

Phangan, I will not tell you “Goodbye”, I say “La kon. Ch’an rak khun.”

It’s very easy to get to Koh Phangan. There lots of piers at Samui, from which the boats, seatrans and catmarans go to Phangan. We bought tickets at the seatran and at 6-30 a.m. the bus picked us to get to Bophut pier. The way took about 40 minutes and at last we greeted Phangan.

We’ve decided to stay at Haad Rin beach because here are the most number of discos, bars and parties. We booked Drop In Club hotel, but it appeared awful. But still we were not upset, ’cause we came not to spend time in the room but to party and have fun.

We left our things in the room and went for a walk. There were not many people on the streets, many shops and bars were closed that time, because there most people live nightlife.

At pier we caught the boatman and asked to take us to some beautiful beaches. He showed a map and several beaches to choose from. We decided to go to Haad Young, that on the eastern coast Phangan. Floated for about 30 minutes, during which time a couple of times were ready to say goodbye to life, the boat nearly collapsed, but all ended well and we landed on the shore.

Very nice beach picturesque with a restaurant on the beach. Though the waves were, but the water was clean. We sat on the beds, bought a beer and started in every way to relax and make plans for the evening. Somewhere from the depths of the beach the sound of music was heard, so jauntily, dance, in broad daylight (12 hours it was). By passing girl said that there was after-party, people could not stop hanging out))) Just what we need – we go there

In the depths of the beach there are two bars, a dance floor between them and at noon in the heat a lot of people out there dancing, drinking and otherwise come off. And from the look of some friends, really party from yesterday!))) It was so cool that we too could not resist and dance for an hour. Music great, either house, whether trance, whether drum & bass, winds at the time!

At 4:00 we returned to Haad Rin, slept for a couple of hours , we left at 6 am to Koh Samui and we had all night before us))) came for dinner at the cafe and went to wander along the beach. Usually the parties began not earlier than 9.10 pm, so we just went to the shops, were watching how people made tattoos and just watching people. We have come to Fubar- a great place where you can lie on the soft cushions and listen to music.

Time passed, and we did not find any serious partying. In one of the streets we were approached by a taxi driver and asked us to get us on the Shiva Moon Party, like, cool party. Well, let it be Shiva Moon, Well, we wanted to party. We drove, drove, and then the taxi turned off the main road and took us somewhere in the jungle. Darkness, only torches lit along the road, pointing the way to the Shiva Moon. We arrived, paid the entrance fee and went to the sound. The picture, which we opened, would be an excellent backdrop to some apocalyptic movie about aliens. Jungle of palm trees, people dancing around the bars, all decorated with fluorescent scenery, portraits of Shiva and Ganesh, illuminated banana palm trees and unreal music!

We took for bucket, a bucket with ice, where they add alcohol, energy drink, and soda to choose from, and came on! Danced so much that really drived us crazy) The atmosphere is just unreal!
Three hours, we hang out there, and then decided to change the situation. Caught a taxi driver and told to drive to Ananatha. Also a great place, nice atmosphere, lounge area and have soft grassy lawns), but too many people. Normally in the crowd it is unreal to move. We drank a cocktail and went back to Haad Rin.
The whole beach turned into one big party! We bought more buckets and went dancing here and there.)))

About 3 a/m/ we went home. I was singing “I’m feeling good”very loudly)))

In the room we just fell on the bed and passed out. And the next day we discovered Phangan with a completely different side) But this is a subject of the next post)

I didn’t used to ride motorcycles, the experience, both positive and negative, was absent. A couple of times I was driven, it’s memorable whistle of the wind in my ears and ears wet with tears

The motorcycle does not scare me, it is the same principle as on the bicycle. In the end, all this time we traveled on foot, by taxi or songtaeo. And to be honest I do not regret, I have not walked so much for a long time

People are usually shocked with a lot of motorbikes, which can be rented. Many people save on the hotel, and rent a bike to go to the beach.

The price of the motorbike is 150-200 baht per day ($ 5-7)
Per month it is 3000-4000 baht ($ 100-130)

By the way, only on our small Koh Samui I saw three Harleys salon, whether they rent, I do not know, but you can buy exactly.

Here motorbike is ideally suited for outsized cargo I’ve seen carrying furniture, refrigerators, barbecues, painting, bird cages, flowers pots, the glass sheets. In short, everything.

Besides, people, well, can not part with their pets, dogs ride on the handlebars, on the owners’ knees, in a basket at the front and rear, even just on the seat (I was in shock that it didn’t fall down).

There are still some problems with sobriety, for some reason vacationers consider it their duty to drink liter of whiskey and then ride the bike for more. Therefore, walking through the streets there is large number of Farang in bandages and plaster, some are riding in wheelchairs. Although to crash with the bike quite a trifling matter, and sober, then the motion of dense, a lot of inexperienced drivers, as well as Thais, who consider themselves a mega aces driving. The police caught the extent of forces and capabilities, especially trying to catch the idiots without a helmet, just check the driving license.

So, the bike is certainly cheap and convenient, but quite dangerous. Remember, insurance does not cover treatment for cases of motorcycle (bike accident)

Good roads, watch a selection of photos of motorbikes I encountered in Thailand.

The point is that people from one forum decided to gather, drink wiskey and have fun together
So I decided to take pert in this and meet other friends) As for excursions we were planning to visit Aquarium and go-in carts in Pattaya.

People were really interesting we had much fun.:)

I’ve got check-in)))

We visited the Aquarium Underwater World Pattaya and go- cart track EasyKart. I did not race by carts since I did not feel good, but I enjoyed the fish.

As can be seen in the photo, one walks under the canopy of thick glass, and above you in the water there are sharks, stingrays, groupers and lots of small fish. Very nice.

Room with king-size bed, flat screen TV, docking station for the iPhone. In-room safebox, cleaning every day.
Swimming pool is on the 3rd floor with glass on the street, you can dabble in the passers-by
On the roof you could sunbathe, we really only drank there
Soundproofing was excellent, from the street I did not hear anything.

Wi-Fi was not needed for, but the people complained about the speed in the evening and the daily changing of the password. Breakfast is bad, it makes no sense to take (and I did not take the way).

Be sure to order the transfer to the hotel.

IMHO the price is absolutely justified. In the sidebar “The best rates for hotels” from agoda, you can check. I booked there, everything was excellent.

Kissing goodbye to my beloved wife and son, went to the pier to take the ferry. We arrived much in advance, the fact is that this day, it was necessary to extуnd the visa, it was unknown how much time it would take . Everything turned out surprisingly quickly, we filled in the form, gave passports and got it back with stamp an hour later, no bureaucracy.
Ferry was big and beautiful, it was not sea-tosses much as opposed to Lompraya Catamaran by which we got to the islands.
The fate of a lonely Farang in Thailand is known almost 100%. The first attempt to pick me up, handsome and charming, was made on the upper deck, the second on the bottom, both with negative results.
A sea journey was over, a tropical evening came, everyone, including Thais, beheld a beautiful sunset.
On the pier the yellow bus, an ordinary-looking, but comfortable inside was waiting. There were not very much people going to Pattaya.
Once purchased tickets, I did not pay attention to the travel time, but in vain. We drove for 14 hours. Even allowing for comfort, it was hard. Air conditioning worked, as the last time. Blanket saved, but I was watching all the time that no part of my body was open.
First 5 hours we constantly stopped and I couldn’t understand for what purpose. Only once, at the next stop a beautiful girl came in, she went down the cabin, the light turned off, and then there was a shock. Behind me, I heard a male voice, but there was no one else but her! Yeah, pretty girl was a boy))
The dawn broke, we had been moving in a dense flow of cars and motorbikes for a long time, in my mind there was only one thought, when would we get to the destination.
At the bus station taxi drivers flocked about me. The most nimble grabbing a piece of paper with printing hotel reservation happily nodded that he knew where to go. Stupid jerk.
At the reception of the hotel, where he brought me, the woman smiled, and said that this was not my hotel)
I found a new taxi driver, he also nodded and mewed that he knew the way, fortunately, it turned out to be true.
Reservation was accepted, registered and I was told that check-in time is 2 p.m. Leaving the bag, I went to explore the waking Pattaya.
