dad was suppose to plan a trip for his friends to there and be sort of a guide there since he noes thai language.so he asked us whether we wanna tag along..of course..who would not wan to go for a holiday wo..hehehe. we left on monday morning around 9 with 2 other family joining us along..another could only join us on the 24th. had lunch at Nibung Tebal and arrived in thailand evening. Rested and then went for seafood dinner.

The next day, after having our breakfast, we headed to Koh Samui, an island which takes us about 4-5 hours of travelling time. It pretty popular with the angmohs who can spent weeks and months in such places..We were travelling like convoys with 3 M'sian cars on thai roads in a row. We had to be really careful so that they do not go missing as this were their first time driving there. When we arrived at the jetty, there were no more ferries across until 4pm as it was full. We would have to wait around 3 hours. Went to bought the ticket and they were offering us earlier time provided we book the hotel with them. Since we din wanna wait so long doing nothing so we took the offer. The ferry is pretty much similiar to the Penang ferry where it carries cars and people. For me, it is the first time experience on such ferry. It took us about an hour and half to reach the destination.
the participating cars,except the red truck.

us and mum
Reached the hotel nearly dinner time as it was located on the other side of the island. After dinner, we spent some time walking around the town. Saw many restaurants especially western and seafood restaurants..They were displaying all those fresh seafood such as baby sharks, lobster, oyster and stuffs outside attracting the customers. They even have roasted pig which is being roasted outside the restarant and its usually expensive in M'sia.yum yum. Then, we took a stroll at the along the beach with the nice smooth sands. I would say we walk nearly 2 km on the beach and it was a good exercise for all of us since we just ate before that. On the way, saw ppl playing those tanglungs where u write ur wishes and lit them up and release it up to the air Walk till the cape and saw a unique place where ppl are enjoying their time and drinking.. Its more like 3 beach chairs laid straight and a small table place on top and cushion at the side..They are more like lying down and drinking and relaxing their mind off. Since we were pretty tired we too had a drink and relax by lookin at the many stars on the sky which is wat we usually dun see back in M'sia.Walked back to the hotel and lights off at 1 am..
The beach is a must to go if we were on the island..its something not to be missed. Thus, the next morning after breakfast we went to play water..wheeeeeee..so fun being push in by the waves. somemore the waves were pretty huge and bros were enjoyin 'flyin' with the waves when it hit them. most of us went in except the mums and sis. Left the island after light lunch and headed back to Hatyai.
whee
spot the rainbow?
All of us were so hungry along the way but there were no restaurants that seem nice ..maybe those small small kopitiam la, but it would not be too good as we dunno clean a not and somemore we had small kids in the group..not nice la later ppl la du zi.hehe. After dinner at Hatyai,we headed off to KISS Chanel, a music lounge/bar with performances to celebrate Christmas eve. Here everyone is allowed in even small kids as its a non smoking place.Bro was so so glad as he anticipates going in.lol. We were there quite some time dancing all the way to the rhythm. i would say all of us enjoyed ourselves there even Natalie,the youngest kid of one of dad's friend was dancing!she is sho cuteeee..Not much pic though cuz no cameras in. got also is curi curi take de not very clear cuz use phone

The next day all of us woke up later than usual due to yesterday nite partying.After breakfast, went do some shopping lu at Tesco and shopping complexes. Couldn't do much outside shopping as the weather doesn't look good.Threatening to rain and it spoiled our plan to had dinner at Songkhla which is by the beach .haih so just linger in the hotel lu while bro,sis and mum went cut,wash hair, massage ,manicure and stuffs. i just hang around in the lobby using the free wifi pc and played with the kids..especially Natalie. she is so hyperrrrrr..running here and there. When they were done, dinner was seafood again. We had seafood like almost everyday. The restaurants are really lucky to have us cause we bring biz to them with 4 families eating at the restaurant. Surely make lot of money that time.
the quiet version of Natalie cause she just woke up.hehe
The next day was our last day here. Had roti canai and it taste better than back home. Head on to Central Market where u can buy clothes, shoes and leather stuffs.A good place to put ur bargaining skills on while shoppin here.hehe. Dad and me were busy buyin dried food stuff such as fish maws, peanuts, dried mango and stuff like that lu while they did their shopping. Check out at noon and lunchie at chic rice shop which was once visited by the PM before. Got out from the border around 2 and saw many cars heading in to Thailand.must be due to the long hols that all taking the chance to go hols and set off their mind from work.
We had dinner at Gopeng which is a very old small town. The shop is special as it only opens at 8 pm and not earlier. And the shop would be full of ppl when its nearly 8, usually local la. They're pretty famous for their own made noodle and stuffs such as fishballs, fucuk and stuffs. And its self service de leh.when the food is being brought out, people would start queuing up and picking those food and by 9 pm everything finish already.habis clean clean. The food were delicious and even got ppl tapao de leh. Thanks to Uncle Danny for introducing this place to us..hehe.
Overall, it was a good trip with such a big group..Its more fun..i hope there would be more of this in the future.
