Do you want Thai for dinner? Yep. So let's go to Thailand.

It was about 8pm by now and we were lining up for crepe Suzette's. We suddenly heard a lot of bangs and lights and realised the fire show had started. No time had been given. Got back to our front row seats and saw the vantage point I had had been taken by someone deciding to sit on the deck and block me. Swapped with MrP. The trio were spectacular. Just a few shots. It was very hot where we were sitting from the fire so for them must have been super hot.

Listened to the band once it had finished then back to get the crepe Suzette's.

This morning at breakfast after that climb we had a lighter meal. Saw this guy walking around with a couple of dirty plates but not with the same sense of urgency as the staff and dressed a bit less casually. He stopped and chatted. He was the General Manager which we'd already sussed and MrP said as he approached us that he had excellent staff. Assumption much . But correct. He reminded us about the wedding. Maybe he was there to quell any tension.

Anyways just sitting by the pool now sorting out if it's another kayak day. Weather has changed a little but we have the cookery school tomorrow so that will chop off the day.

Looks like a lovely trip!

Just on Bangkok Airways… every passenger, including economy with no status, has lounge access!

They operate two lounges however. With a slightly upgraded one for business class and status.

But the regular lounge is good nonetheless… cold drinks, tea, coffee and snacks. And good aircon.

They even have a little stand at Koh Samui where you can get drinks and snacks.

What amazes me about the Koh Samui flights is the full hot meal service, with separate tea and coffee service, for a full plane in around 30 mins! (When VA tells us they can’t serve tea and coffee on some MEL-SYD flights because the flying time is too short!!)

You had me at the chocolate fountain....

Typical. 3 hours until wedding. The male groomsman and groom are here. Complaining they have to do a pre video and hope it won’t last longer than 30 seconds.

The women on the other hand left hours ago to preen up. Oh. Another round of drinks just ordered.

Would not have been impressed that interlopers stole your table though.

Been interesting watching the guests arrive. They are walking across the pool deck to get the shuttle up to the top. Girls in heels. Guys in thongs and sandals. Some lovely looking ladies dresses. And some a little bit not so much. Let's say one lass with red hair and wearing a rich maroon long dress with awkward split up to hips is going to shine through in the photos but needing to be rather careful as the night wears on. Just waiting for the bride assuming she is on this level. Maybe not. 12 minutes to wait.
