Finally! I have been on a Contiki trip :) Have been wanting to go on one for the longest time and boy am I glad I finally did so. I went on their Thai Island Hopper East tour covering the islands Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Koh Pah Ngan. I actually had no intention of going on this tour, but because Contiki is sending their intern for a famil trip, and mei mei asked me to join her, I just agreed and went with the flow with no plans whatsoever. I had wanted a break really badly when mei mei asked me, so it seems like a good idea to be relaxing on the sandy beaches of Thailand.
It was supposed to be a relaxing itinerary (according to the brochure), but I simply cannot recall one night with me sleeping before 2am. HAA! My group was small and intimate (there's only 19 of us) and most of us bonded over the next 9 days.
List of things I did?
~ Swim at the waterfalls (almost drowned but I made it alive!)
~ Rode on the top of a 4-wheel jeep
~ Rode on an elephant
~ Played soccer golf (really fun!)
~ Experience drinking from a cup made of ice at the ice bar
~ Partied a little
~ Went through an obstacle course with ziplines (really really fun!)
~ Snorkelled (and cut myself at many place while clinging onto the rocks)
~ Played pool
~ Drink, drink and drink (I believe my liver is damaged)
There's some things I missed out I think... Cannot really recall a lot of things anymore since they have already passed :S
Oh! I experienced total blackout for 2 nights in a row at Koh Pah Ngan because of heavy storm. The whole island just blacked out and there was no lights and no water! The only thing that worked was the toilet flush system -_________- I have never been so helpless in my life before because I simply cannot see well in the dark due to my night blindness. What I did manage to see though was 2 lizards bigger than the size of chameleons outside our room door, and their faces looked exactly like an alligator. I freaked out and screamed really loud. Luckily the power managed to come back on after a few hours.
Met many amazing friends (and some creeps) during the tour and they are what made my holiday experience all the more enjoyable =) If there is a chance, I would really like to go on a tour with them again...
Ok! Enough of words, here are the pics:
XOXO
