July 2018 Koi Samui to HK

Off to our third stop in Thailand - Koi Samui

Ma at the airport when we landed

All the luggage made it.

We stayed at Peace Resort.  It is a tropical paradise, and the perfect place to relax.

For our first night we walked downtown to a huge market and found dinner.

Other than relax and eat, we did get some activity.  We took a speedboat tour to Angthong National Marine Park and did some snorkeling and kayaking.

On our last night we found a restaurant (K-siri) right outside our resort with phenomenal food.

Before we left, we walked to town for some last minute shopping.

Then it was back to the airport after some more relaxing at the resort.

Once we were back back in Hong Kong, it was back to work for Patrick & Gwen and more adventuring for Ma & Ronnie.

Monday they ventured to the Chi Lin Nunnery

After work we hit the local neighborhood - Temple Street Market and Funky Monkey for dinner.

The did a bit more wandering on Tuesday...

... and that night was topped of with drinks at Ozone - 118 floors above the harbor.  We had a rare clear night.

On Wednesday it was off to the (in)famous Stanley Market for more shopping, but the highlight was our Uber ride home - a Tesla.

We made it back in time for Ronnie's final suit fitting.

Then it was a harbor tour on a Sampan - Aqualuna II.

Patrick & Gwen's new office is in this photo - the buildings on the far right.

After a nice boat ride, we had dinner and local beer at Kowloon Taproom

Thursday Ma & Ronnie hopped back over to the island to check out the world's longest escalator and found the Globe for another beer.

Dinner on our last night was at Qi House of Sichuan in Wan Chai for a spicy dinner.

Next was a ride on a Ding Ding (or trolley) up to Central for some night life celebrating Ronnie's birthday in LKF (Lan Kwai Fong).

Then took the MTR (subway) home.

Friday was departure day :(

It was a great visit!
