After a long sleep, we enjoy breakfast at the Sundays Resort, and drive to the Lomprahyah High Speed Ferry Pier in Maenam. We purchase two return tickets to Koh Phangan for 400 THB each. We arrive the island after a 20 minute journey. The Island looks quite nice on the first glance, not as developed and crowded as Koh Samui. There are lots of diving agencies. It’s famous for the Full Moon Party, which we just miss. The next three hours we spend on wondering around close to the ferry pier since we have to catch the ferry then. We watch an off road jeep competition before going back to the pier, where we wait for the an-hour delay ferry.
We drive back to the Sundays and get ready for the beach in Bophut. It’s about 20 minutes by foot to the fisherman’s village with a beach and many restaurants and bars. We have a short relaxing swim in the warm water, enjoy a nice dinner of sea mussels in white wine, fish with herbs, fried egg rice and Starfish special salad at the beachside terrace in the Starfish and Coffee Restaurant. The restaurant has a cozy and romantic ambiance, where red colour and lit candles dominate its decor.
