Koh Samui (Thailand)
Sept. 3 - 7, 2014 (5D4N): Leg 3 of our 17 day journey to Thailand & Vietnam. We were here to celebrate our good friends’ wedding (at the Intercontinental), so you can remove 1 day and easily visit the island under 4D3N! This is the place to come if you are looking for a much needed beach time or just some relaxation after seeing tons of temples in Thailand! See prior posts on Bangkok - Chiang Mai - Koh Samui - Vietnam.
