I'm so glad to be out of Indonesia. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome, but I was getting a little depressed by all the garbage and the expensive hotel rooms (plus the locals are ruthless). We left Bali on August 23rd, spent one night in Singapore (I love Singapore), then took a train to Kuala Lumpur (also an amazing city!). From Kuala Lumpur we took an overnight sleeper train ($40 each for a private cabin with A/C, 2 beds, a sink, and snacks) to Hat Yai, Thailand. From there we took a bus and ferry to Koh Samui. The total journey was almost 1400km and took 2 days, but was worth it. Koh Samui, in my opinion, is just plain awesome. Our hotel is incredible even by western standards (and a steal at $10.50 each per night). We're 100m from the beach, which is pretty spectacular in itself (although the water is a bit cloudy this time of year).
Today we're just exploring, tomorrow we'll catch a muay thai boxing match, the day after is elephant riding day, and then we'll be hopping over to the island of Koh Phangan. Expect more blog posts now that the internet isn't slow-as-shit-indonesian-dial-up.
