The Monsoon Drenched Islands
Christian December 2nd, 2008
The flight to Ko Samui was great. Bangkok Airways fed us snacks while we waited for boarding and fed us a meal on our forty minute flight. It was a breath of fresh air from all of the super budget airlines we have been flying, while still cheap at $50. As we decended through the dark clouds, our hopes for good weather were slowly dwindling. On the ground we were told that the cheaper minibus option was not available and that we would have to fork over 500 baht (around $15) for a fifteen minute taxi ride. In Thailand, that fare is just crazy so we proceeded to try and walk from the airport towards our bungalows and catch a cab on the way.
