This weekend I spent on an island called Koh Samet, located about 3 hours Southeast of Bangkok and a 20 minutes ferry ride to the island. I actually had to take 6 modes of transportation to get to the island on Friday night... a motorbike taxi, a taxi car, the sky train, a minibus, a ferry, and a songtauw, which tells you how easy (or not) it is to get around Thailand. But it was a worth it to get to the island that is a national park so it does not have any big "resorts" along the beach. There are still plenty of little places to stay and lots of great food to enjoy, but not as touristy. The beaches were beautiful and we rented a sea kayak to go around part of the island Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning we got a nice rainstorm on the island. I haven't seen rain or precipitation in Thailand since we were in Chiang Mai the first week, so it was refreshing. Another great weekend in Thailand!!
