Hi everyone,

We are currently in Koh Samui. We had to come over to sort out our work permits / visa’s. After paying the lawyer a large amount of cash, we no longer have to the country and try and come back in, so all is good.

We left Koh Tao this morning on the 9am Lomprayah, which instead of the usual high speed catamaran, was a small speed boat which seated aroung 24 people. Everyone had to wear masks but there was no social distancing going on at all, not that there have been any cases on Koh Tao. PHEW!

So, with a quick change of speedboat at Koh Phangnan we got to Koh Samui in very good time. The first thing we did was to rent a bike, drove to our hotel, checked in, then we were straight back out again to see the lawyer where we signed loads of paperwork and then it was straight on to the Immigration office to drop off our paperwork, have our photo’s taken and back to the hotel. Mission accomplished!

We are only here for 1 night and then it’s back to Koh Tao tomorrow afternoon ;-D

The roads are pretty quiet and the supermarket was dead …hardly anyone shopping which was nice. Simon and I stopped in on the way back from immigration and brought a nice fresh loaf, edam, brie and had a picnic on the bed …so romantic!! 😀

Oh, Cuthbert’s with us too, he’s mostly been hiding in my bag. Too many bugs around he says 😀 He liked ‘Big C’ supermarket though. Thought it was named after him. Bless!!!
