Today we left Koh Samui. The flight was not until 6 pm, so we got late check out and kept one of the bungalows until 4.30 pm. Philip was feeling much better but was still weak, so he stayed in the room most of the time. The rest of us spent a lot of time by the pool, soaking up the last sun of Koh Samui. The airport was only a 10 min drive from our resort so we had plenty of time.
Koh Samui airport is really nice, it is an "open air" airport, the terminals being open pavillions with fans and no aircon. Must be energy saving.

Leaving Koh Samui
Approaching Bangkok
We took the Sky Train to Phat Thaia and then a taxi. The driver tried to cheat us by putting the meter to some weird amount. I was so upset that I asked him to pull over and started to talk about the security officers that controll the taxi drivers. When upon Hirokos suggestion I took a photo of the drivers licence (which is displayed in the window of the cab along with a phone number to place complaints about the driver), the driver went very quiet. When we reached the hotel he didnt even ask for payment. I paid him anyway - fair is fair.

Hiroko and I prepared instant noodles and dumplings from nearby 7eleven after arriving late at the hotel (I just had time for a quick workout).
