Ko Samui was buckets of fun...literally

Ko Samui...Wow! This place is the glue covered trap and all the tourists all over the world are the rats that can't resist the temptation. Get your wallets ready because this place will make you drop your baht until it's hot!! Upon arriving to Ko Samui we joined up with some fellow tourists. Our group consisted of Katrina and Marion from Austria, Katie from China, and Eddie and Drew from California. We parted temporarily as we all found our separate accomodations on the island. It seemed that no matter where you chose to stay you had to pass by 500 people trying to sell you things, as well as a suit store that gave you a compliment on your body type and encouraged you to buy a suit to bring out your flattering features. Will was always asked if he was a gangster from America because of his lion like hair and short compact muscular body. (Of course I'm describing myself). Before our first night we did what anybody from Texas would do. We went and ate at a Mexican restaurant, but ordered Thai food. You would have done the same. 400 baht later we made our way to the scenic downtown of Ko Samui. What a scene it was. As we headed to the Green Mango, we passed by several bars offering more than just a drink. There were more prostitutes waiting to love you long time then there are enchiladas in all of San Antonio. We had to decline the business before we even heard what they had to offer; I think we had a pretty good idea.

The Green Mango shined like the Andaman sunset on a warm summer day. The booze was flowing and the music was bumping, although the only tunes in rotation was Efiel 65 and Black Eyed Peas. Each time we finished a bucket, we became better dancers. I've never snapped and clapped so many times in my life. I know that everyone around me was impressed to say the least. We decided to call it an early night after the clock struck 5am. 8 hours and a piercing hangover later, we managed to get up and walk downstairs and get a full body Thai massage. They lady told me that since I was so much bigger than her she was going to have to stand on me give the right amount of pressure. She managed to do several handstands and double heel drops on my back and leave me with more aches and pains than I had to begin with. We then decided that we needed a break from the craziness of Samui and decided that it was time to test our Duggan Diving skills on Ko Tao or Turtle Island. Stay tuned for another update in a couple of days. Hopefully from this point on we can be just the "three dudes in asia" and not the "three dumbest and unluckiest dudes in asia".

We'll get 'em next time Cowboys...
Peace!
