Our 3rd day on Samet Island.
The best thing about doing trips with Kevin's couple & Ju was that we
don't need no plans. We are all lay back people! We spent
again the morning on the beach watching fishes swim in front of us.
We eventually decided to do
beach hopping. We spent some time in the pool before we went
fetching stuff to go out.
We bargained a 'taxi' to go
to all these beaches for BHT1,200. We jumped on the truck and
started our adventure. |

Since we've been to Ao Phai &
Sai Kaew the day before, Ao Wong Duan in the middle of the island was
our first stop. It was I believe 2pm, we found a small open
restaurant at the far end of Ao Wong Duan and stopped
to
have lunch. Alan & Julie ordered blood cockles again!
Bloody! They said they were not as tasty as the ones we had the
night before on Sai Kaew. Our chubby driver was waiting for us
so we didn't hang around for long. |
We continued with our hopping
mission to another beach further south. We stopped at Ao Thian
(also called Ao Loong Dum). Breathtaking beautiful! An
infinite blue sea with a wooden pier in the middle of it. So
romantic! I jumped on the pier immediately. The beach
reminded me of the beach in Antigua.

We stayed in Ao Thian for
quite some time taking in the beauty. Expecting the rest of the
beaches were as good. Indeed they were good but not as good.
Our next stop was Ao Wai.
Beautiful long beach. We took a few pictures and headed on
south.
Our chubby driver then
stopped in front of a beautiful resort and made sign for us to go
through it to the beach. A guide and a hotel officer came out to
the gate and we told them that we wanted to go down to the beach to
look look. |
The officer said that he could
bring us down to the beach through the resort but we could not take
picture of the hotel. It is indeed the most expensive hotel on
the island (costs almost HK$3500 per night for the cheapest villa!)
called Paradee
Resort. He then gave us a tour of the hotel. Really is an
upscale resort. It locates across the west and east coast on the
bay called Ao Kiu Na Nok. All villas are on the east coast and a
big function room with floor to ceiling windows on the west, said to
be the best spot for watching sunset and I believed it.
