tl;dr Hung out at the hotel, napped, and checked out Koh Samui nightlife – only 3 activities
Activity 1 – Beach and Pool
Woke up feeling refreshed, but recognizing that I was still low on sleep and my body was starting to let me know. For breakfast, I ate at the hotel, it was a nice buffet. I went down to the water and spent most of the day by the beach. I had a snack at one of the hotel’s many restaurants before hanging out in a big comfy chair by the pool. After reading a page…maybe two…I felt my eyelids closing. I decided it was nap time…so I grabbed one of my extra towels and had a makeshift blanket. I woke up shortly before the pouring rain began giving me enough time to get up to my room and get ready for dinner.
Activity 2 – Dinner
I went to a local thai restaurant that wrapped their Pad Thai in egg…it was not nearly as good as Thip Samai in Bangkok, but it was still good.
Activity 3 – Nightlife and Ark Bar
I walked around the ‘downtown’ of Koh Samui and saw a bunch of bars that were relatively empty. I attributed this to the fact that most people were probably taking it easy the night before the Full Moon Party or had already moved to Koh Phangan. I did find a pretty fun beach party at Ark Bar with fire dancers. *As an aside, there is an EDM party in the jungle of Koh Phangan, but they were not running shuttle boats from Koh Samui that evening. I had heard from people mixed reviews – some loved it (being in a jungle and partying), others thought it was overrated. I also got myself a chocolate ‘pancake’ to munch on for dessert.
Did not stay out too too late knowing what was coming tomorrow!
