The biggest island of the ones we visited was Koh Samui. It was also the most touristy and developed. That meant more bars, dining options, and massages. 
All sweaty on our way to the hotel via a catamaran and air-conditioned (YES!) van.
It had the kind of beach I like best, beautiful white sand and blue water. It was easy to lay on a beach chair all day. Not quite as stunning as Koh Tao, but pretty and easily accessible. Definitely my scene.
Living the life with lazy days on the beach, massages (so many massages!) in the afternoon, fabulous food, and cold beer.
Exploring one of the local markets. Some our purchases below. I tried Khanom Khi Hngs, per the translation on their board they were “sweeten glutinous rice flour inside bean.” It was a miss. Oh well, Andy’s gummies were good.
Two things that made me laugh- what real bananas look like and Thai Price is Right.
A usual post-dinner night- beer and checkers. Most of the bars had them set up. A few nights we found some live music.
The last night we shared our favorite dinner again, fried cheese and grilled pork belly and chicken in some kind of super yummy marinade, with some Chang beer. I will miss the Thai street food stands.
The airport cracked me up. Krispy Kreme doughnuts with some wild flavors. Who knew the Thai loved their doughnuts?
And another crazy shrine to the Thai King. This one was quite large and included the ability to send a blessing to His Majesty. We declined.
Good-bye Thailand. It was an amazing, relaxing, chill two weeks. You were everything we wanted you to be.
