Pai Koh Samui !!!

Listening to briefings

Listen carefully


Upon arriving at Koh Samui, the mighty vessel behind us


Cruising together


We felt so lucky because the organizing committee of both universities have arranged the camp to be held at the new International Campus of Rajabhat University which is located in Koh Samui. The Island is one of the most beautiful in the region and known as a world class destination.


Right after the opening ceremony, with our stomachs still in rebellious mode, we set out to the jetty which is about an hour from the campus. Next we had to take a ferry to the island. The ferry has three decks, the lowest for transports, the second deck is some sort of a huge lounge and the upper deck is the sun deck. On the last deck there is a Gigantic turtle (seriously gigantic) and a baby turtle that seemed to be loyal companions of the ship. Needless to say of the size, it even has a special lounge for massage. We spent a good hour and a half on the ferry before arriving at the island.

By the time we got there it was already late in the evening and everyone was exhausted. We had our dinner at the International College Hotel, and much to our surprise the room is as equal as any four star hotel and possibly we are the earliest occupants as it hasn't had an official opening yet. Dr Syaharom and ajaarn Anurak gave a briefing on what we are expected to do before we can go to bed.

Off to bed for now, we still have plenty of days to spend here :)
