Koh Samui is an incredible place. It was so green, sunny and peaceful that Mummy, Daddy and I didn't want to leave. We wished we had chosen to stay longer but all good things have to end (plus Daddy doesn't think he would be able to find much of a job there for us to move)! Apologies in advance, this will be a long post. It might be best to get a cupa of tea and put your feet up whilst you read-
Saturday
Mummy went to the spa on Saturday leaving Daddy and I at home playing. When she came back, she went into panic mode (as usual) about packing. Daddy decided it was best he went out and had some errands to run. I was a little annoyed that he left me with crazy Mummy! After Mummy had finished packing and calmed down, she took me to the playground for half an hour to burn off some energy before our flight. We met Daddy back at home, checked we had everything and jumped into a taxi to get to the airport. We had quite a wait at the airport but luckily Daddy is a gold member with Emirates so we were able to wait in the Business Class lounge. There was a lovely play area and lots of food and drink to help pass the time. Our flight was on time and Emirates were brilliant because the gave us a row of 4 seats all to ourselves. I stretched out and fell asleep within 20 minutes of taking off.
Sunday
Mummy woke me just as we were landing in Bangkok. Once we were off the plane we went and had some breakfast. We were able to use another lounge at the airport but I was too tired to play so went back to sleep in my pushchair until our flight to Koh Samui arrived a few hours later. It was a very small propellor plane to Koh Samui, Mummy looked worried! The flight was just over an hour and I had to sit on Mummies lap- not comfortable. We landed in Koh Samui and were amazed by how stunning the airport was. It was very small and looked a lot like a big shed! Daddy had arranged for someone to pick us up at the airport and take us to our hotel. Mai Samui was beautiful too but my parents were worried by just how much water surrounded the hotel. A lot of the rooms had balcony's that opened into the swimming pool. Mummy had decided against a room like this as she was worried I might try and get into the water (which I would have). Our room was wonderful anyway. There was a lot of space for me to run around in and I was very impressed that the staff had turned a towel into an elephant! We were tired from our journey so decided to sleep for a little while and then have dinner. Dinner was served on the beach which had amazing views over the sea and part of the island. We met Aunty Sarah and Uncle Rich who told us some fantastic news and made Mummy a very excited person for the rest of the trip! Daddy took me to bed a little while later as I was still exhausted from the journey but Mummy stayed up drinking cocktails and gossiping!
Monday
We decided to spend the day by the pool and had lunch and drinks there too. Daddy got a little bit sunburned which looked very sore! I had a wonderful time in the pool until it started to rain. I was terrified as we sheltered under a big parasol. We don't have rain in Dubai and this was very heavy and loud! I eventually picked up the courage to go out and splash in it when it fell a little lighter! We met up with Aunty Becci's good friends that evening as Emily and Dan were also in Koh Samui for a friends wedding! Such a coincidence! Mummy started on the Pina Coladas again and after we said goodbye, we had dinner and drinks with Sarah and Rich.
Tuesday
Mummy went on Aunty Caroline's hen do on Tuesday so I got to spend a whole day with Daddy! We had a great time. Daddy couldn't go out in the sun though because of his sun burn but I forgave him once he had turned our giant bath into a pool of my own! We also went to the play area together and had lots of fun until a little boy knocked me over. Mummy had gone to a place called Tamarind Springs which is a forest spa in Koh Samui. There were lots of rock pools and steam rooms followed by massages and reflexology. I think Mummy had an amazing time there. She went for dinner afterwards at a pub called the Outback Bar. It was very late when she came home, I didn't even hear her come in! Daddy did...
Wednesday
Mummy left for the wedding venue after breakfast with Aunty Sarah. They were meeting all of their girlfriends there to get ready for the wedding and to keep Aunty Caroline calm. Daddy and I spent the morning playing and eating before we had a nap. In no time at all, we had to get up and get ourselves ready for the wedding. The ladies spent 6 hours getting their hair and make up done! It seemed like a long time, but they all looked beautiful and Aunty Caroline was simply stunning! She walked down the aisle at 5:30pm and Mummy said she will always remember the beaming smiles on both Caroline and Sam's faces. The wedding ceremony was not very long but it was very romantic. We toasted the bride and groom with champagne (I was given juice) on the beach and then had photos take whilst the sun was setting behind us. It truly was beautiful! We let burning lanterns go into the sky and there was a brilliant fireworks display for us before Mr and Mrs Mitchell were called to cut the cake. By this point, I was hungry, really hungry and so was my friend Charlie. We were very pleased when we got to sit down and eat chips! The adults ate a huge selection of Thai food which Mummy and daddy agreed was the best wedding breakfast they have ever tasted. After the speeches and more toasts, the music came on and we danced the night away. I managed to stay up dancing and running until 1am. I think I impressed Mummy and Daddy!
Thursday
We woke quite late and went for breakfast just before they finished serving. All of us were tired so we decided to have a lazy day around the hotel. I got to play in the play area and Mummy took me swimming one last time. We had dinner on the beach again and I chased a frog and a cat! Mummy and Daddy had a few more drinks at the bar with Aunty Sarah and Uncle Rich before we decided to call it a night. We had another day of travel ahead of us and we were not looking forward to it at all.
Friday
We left just after 11am and the worst storm we have seen had hit our resort. I didn't mind it so much that time as I was used to it after Monday. The thunder made me jump though! A car arrived to take us back to the airport and we were sprayed with water all the way there- a Thai New Year tradition we were told. It did look like a lot of fun! We were on a slightly larger plane back to Bangkok this time and it took a little under an hour. Once in Bangkok airport, Daddy had arranged for us to use a lounge that had showers and food. We had to wait 6 hours for our flight to Dubai. The plane was completely full on the way home and I had no choice but to sit on Mummy and Daddy. I managed to sleep for a few hours but was awake and miserable for the last half of the journey. Mummy and Daddy were pleased with how well behaved I was though. I couldn't wait to get home and was very unhappy when we were told that we were being delayed by 35 minutes as Dubai airport was very busy. We finally got home at 2:45am and were surprised that it was raining heavily! We must have brought the weather back from Thailand with us! At 3am, we were all tucked up in our own beds having just been on one of the most amazing holidays. I wish we could go back. Mummy, daddy and I are missing everyone already! I've told Mummy to keep pestering Daddy until he agrees to book our next holiday!

All airports should look like this!
