White Guy in Asia (Part Duex)

After the bus ride down to Ban Phe, ferrys carry people to the island of Koh Samet. On my ferry I met three beautiful Norwegians that I spent my the next two days with. Linda, Linn, Torill & I boarded a sketch island truck/taxi right after the sun set to find out beach, Wong Dueng. The truck driver took us through what looked like Vietnam for about 10 minutes and then dropped us off at in the middle of nowhere. He just said, walk around the corner down the beach. That we did and arrived at a quaint village of no more than 100 people. There were a few hotel rooms and bars run by expatriates who had settled on this remote island. The Angels and I ate dinner and then tied one on at a bar on the tropical beach. The bar provided bamboo platforms over the edge of the water with little bamboo tables and triangular thai pillows. The waves crashed right before and then the surf washed up under the tables. Extremely picturesque. Good times.

The next morning I slung myself out of bed and rolled down to the beach where I spend the next 12 hours doing nothing. I read my book, I went swimming, I got some sun and I paid ~$6 for an hour and a half massage (On the beach mind you). The Norwegian Angels and I then grabbed a speed boat taxi to the next beach over. We settled into our bungalows and then met up later for another night of drinks. "Weekend" really has a whole new meaning when you worked 40 hours the week before.


Doing nothing.
