the waterfalls of koh samui

i took an overnight (surprisingly, very luxurious) bus from the perehentian islands out to koh samui, an island in southern thailand (koh samui is on eastern thailand so not really affected by tsunami). in order to get the good rate for my ticket, i had to share my ride to the malaysian border with 2 other backpackers - 2 little british babies (they are 19) traveling on their gap year.

the little brits and i decided to rent a car to drive around the island seeing as we arrived too late to book any of the trekking tours for the day - dont know what is worse, me driving on the wrong side of the road or me trusting these babies with a car...i decided that as scary as it might be, better for me to drive...

we stopped at 3 different waterfalls on the island and got to swim in them as well - enjoy the pretty pictures!

we also managed to get tickets for muai thai (boxing)! it was very very cool. especially since the coach gave us some boxing lessons afterwards.
