Here comes our Day 2 at Koh Samui. Today, we are going to visit the island with a bike, to have our massage and to have our Thai dinner in the resort.
Our morning before breakfast was quite busy. Busy looking for breakfast. LOL. After walking up and down, finally we managed to find the dining hall. Normal fusion style of buffet breakfast, with international buffet breakfast items and also their local food.
Talked about the massage, it was awesome. At least my fiance loves it very much and give two thumbs up. We were served with hot tea when we were there at the Spa Centre. And then we were asked to choose the flavour of massage oil we would like to have. And then we were lead to a massage room with a private changing room. Yes, we need to take off our clothes. When we were ready, we just lie down on the bed and the "professional" will comes in. The original price for their massage is not cheap, we're lucky to have this service included for our stay. Very professional full body massage. As I said, I don't really like this kind of massaging, I enjoyed the most is the shoulder massage.

Sorry for the blur photo. The staff were kind enough to suggest and help us to hire a bike so that we could go around the island by ourselves. Not expensive to hire a bike. You see, the staff is so helpful tat he is suggesting us some place to visit. Although they generally can speak only basic English, but it is good enough to communicate. Thumbs up for their services.
Before we depart, we went to the petrol station to refill the fuel as we worried we might have difficulties looking for petrol station along the way. We shouldn't have done that. LOL. The fuel is enough for us to travel the whole island actually. Anyway, we fill it up full, just in case, and surprisingly it doesn't costs much. We checked the fuel gauge again after one day ride, the meter didn't dropped at all. Is there something wrong with the meter or this bike is just so fuel saving or should I say the island isn't that big?
Tourists like us who did not use a GPS will have to have a few stops to refer to the maps from one destination to another. Our aim for today is just to go round the island using the main road and we only pick few places to go.
Below is our first destination - Hin Ta Hin Yai (Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks). Here are some introduction about Hin Ta Hin Yai : http://www.kohsamuipoint.com.au/attractions/hin-ta-hin-yai/ They said these rocks look like the private part of a man and a woman. What do you think? :)
Next, we went to a temple to see the mummified monk. Click HERE to read more about it. Not sure why is it they put on a sun glasses for him. Is it because he looks scary without the glasses?
Another journey to ride to this Big Buddha. There were many temples you can visit in Koh Samui, Big Buddha is one of them.
We also went to The Big C supermarket. Nothing much to explare. It is something like Tesco.
We used half day to go one round the island. WOW! The island is not big actually. When we're back to our room, we were surprised to see this! How sweet they are! The hotel staff made this. I swear this is not an order from me. So sweet~~~ Happy Birthday to my fiance!
Next thing is to discover their beach. Beautiful!! We had sometime playing at the beach and we head to the swimming pool to play water. Haha...Since we don't swim. :) They had a very beautiful swimming pool. I hope I had few more days here to enjoy myself at the pool and beach.
We walked up and down many times again like in the morning to look for this restaurant where we are going to have our Thai set dinner. The restaurant was so quiet. No one at all. When I gave the staff the voucher, he was like blur and doesn't know that we had a reservation. I have no idea what was the communication between themselves. Anyway, they still served us and we were given two set dinner options.
My fiance said : " wow! you booked the whole restaurant to have private dinner with me." I was laughing.
Sorry for the blur pix taken under low light.
