I've been to Thailand for a good 10 years before 2015 and in 2015 I actually visited Thailand 3 times? Bangkok, Ko Samui and Phuket. Although they are part of Thailand but all 3 places felt almost different?

What's a trip to Thailand without visit Temples right? 

My office has a better view than yours! 
Healthy Food is Healthy. Totally works for my diet plan! If you haven't - HERE

And if you have been reading my blog you will noticed I've better pictures this time! Thanks to a friend's camera and another teaching me how to edit my pictures. It's not the best best but I think it is good work in progress. After like 10,000 years of blogging and I'm finally having some decent pictures. I think it really looks kinda decent lah hor. And besides the fact that Ko Samui is really pretty and some of my pictures doesn't even do it justice. sigh.

Anyway, presenting to you Ko Samui in numbers!

0 is the number of 

Since I say I didn't eat, obvious this picture was from another trip right?
Pad Kra Pao I had. This Pad Kra Pao is actually like my favourite thai food ever BUT the truth is there's a lot more food in thailand than just Pad Kra Pao!

1 is the number of 


MANGO STICKY RICE! No Trip to Thailand is complete without Mango sticky rice! 

2 is the number of 



times we had massages and spa treatment! Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa was more than just another spa parlour. They are actually a resort for you to find yourself again (if I may). They have different lessons such as gym, yoga etc, and their rooms has no TV? It's seated on top of a mountain(or was it hill) and the view was beautiful! It's one of those things you do after a break up or the whole "eat pray love" thing? And another spa treatment was actually done at Dusita Spa which is along the heart of Ko Samui where you have all the pubs, food, street shopping. I really love how busy the streets were!! #CityKid


also the number of temples we visited. Not exactly the most religions person out that but the visit to the Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk) was pretty interesting. Like his body just didn't decomposed on its own. Can you believe it?

3 is the number of 

CENTARA GRAND BEACH RESORT SAMUI 38/2 Moo 3, Borpud, Chaweng Beach
CENTARA VILLAS SAMUI 111 Moo 2 Maret, Nathien Beach Samui 84310, Thailand
Personal


check-in kit at The Library. And we got to keep it! YAY! #HoarderMuch
THE LIBRARY
14/1 Moo2 Chaweng Beach, Koh
Suratthani 84320, Thailand
Resorts we were hosted at! We were hosted at two different Centara resorts and The Library. The Centara has this classic feel to it where it will definitely be a place you want to bring your family with you to have a good break from the city. They have a wide range of rooms that caters to different needs. The Library was a not just a thematic resort but it was also super pretty. It is so pretty that I had problem capturing how it looks like? You guys should really check out it's site. It will definitely be one of those resort that I will visit again! And yes, guys who wants to impress a girl (or two. or three) this is the place you bring her to and you guys will have a good time if you get what I mean.

4 is the number of 

Days we were at Ko Samui!

Coconut I had during the trip.

Photo taken at Santiburi Golf Samui. Superb View!

Crazy Singaporean Writers I travelled with! So besides me there was this #TheTravelIntern dude, pohtecktoes who happens to be my ex intern from 7/8 years ago. And also the young girl writers who were super energetic. They are Jaslyn from Asia361.com, June from Sethlui.com and Jessica from SuperADRIANME.com. Funny story, 3Js!! And I have to say these 3 sites are damn nice to me? They know I would prefer their young intern instead of traveling with Alvin, Seth and Adrian themselves so they decided to send all 3 young girls to me. YES! #FriendsForever I owe you guys! (And they finally taught me how to use snapchat. Old man is old already. Not catching up.)

And oh, I did not fail my math (just a C6 during my O levels), there is this other gentlemen there who is the representative from Bangkok Airways! And do you know Bangkok Airways is the only airline to fly to Ko Samui? And the airport belongs to them! How freaking cool right?

18 is the number of 

in fact they call it page 18! Number of my room at the library. Very sexy and sleek room but have to sleep alone. #WishYouWereHere

57 is the number of 

photos I've edit and maybe can use

351 is the number of 


calories probably in kala noodles. Kala noodles means coconut husk noodles. Not because it is cooked with coconut but because it is served in a bowl that looks like a coconut husk. To be honest I've no clue how much calories is in there. It tasted pretty healthy to be honest. And also you know the place that was selling this is freaking cool? It's like a road side store on the outside and a super pretty resort on the inside. How pretty? GPGT!

The street store outside. 
Villa Nalinnadda 84310, Thailand. I got confused with the address but here's the number. +66 77 233 131
Wedding photos in the pool!

759 is the number of

 photos taken on my DSLR. Still super happy to have this! YAY!

817 is the number of 

my room at CENTARA GRAND BEACH RESORT which felt very much like the old colonel buildings.

1000 is the number of 

SMILES FROM THIS LAND! SAWA D CUP!

84339 is the number of 



the postal code for this famous local noodles!! The full address is 4169, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani 84330. The number is known as Pa Mai Tree? Pa means Auntie and Mai Tree is the auntie's name. To be honest I've no idea if that the right name but it's damn nice? I'm sure you will like it!!! Very local and you know they have all these pictures of celebrity taking pictures with the auntie. They have a few different style. Like crab sauce, spicy fish oil sauce etc etc. I love the spicy fish oil one. It's very tasty and it's not spicy like overpowering and you only taste nothing but chili? And their dessert is superb!! They have this pulut hitam looking thing with corn? That's my favourite! Super sweet (like you guys reading my blog) and yummy!

93737 is the number of 

The cocktail at the drinking gallery is damn pretty?
alcohol i've taken during the trip? I was on my diet but they kept serving me alcohol and i can't be rude and say no right? And the drink gallery is freaking pretty?

999999 is the number of 

times I would like to thanks Bangkok Airways, Tourism Authority of Thailand and all the other sponsors for making this trip a successful one although we didn't managed to go snorkel because hendric didn't shower. Do you guys know the saying of "did not shower" and bring bad luck? Like wah lau you never shower ah that's why rain cannot play basketball later. of the rain.

See! They even did this board for me! Super sweet right? 
And here's some other pictures that I didn't managed to put into the post.  (It's not the end, don't click the cross yet!! Scroll till the after credits pls. #MarvelStyle)




I ate fruits because of prik glua!
The Grand Father CRock! 
My Favourite Model.

If you remember my BKK Trip you would remember that I wasn't really impressed but I actually had a pretty great time at Ko Samui. So maybe I'm more of a resort holiday person I guess? Anyway, here's the poll of the post! Is Ko Samui a place you will visit someday?
