While my parents wandered into nearby Fisherman’s Village, and had clothes made, Paul and I were content to chill by the pool or on the beach most of the time. 
One day, we did a brief tour around the island, and though our driver didn’t really speak English, we saw a few interesting sights, like the Big Buddha and a mummified monk. For some reason, the stray dogs at the Big Buddha had makeup on.
Once my parents left 🙁 we moved to the east coast of Samui, to a town called Lamai.
There, I had the loathsome chore of doing taxes.
It’s also where we celebrated St. Paddy’s Day. We were really excited when we found an Irish pub there. Pros: they had Guinness and live music. Cons: the Guinness was expensive and not very good. The live music was an English guy dressed as Elvis singing Bob Marley. Not exactly the typical Irish band one would expect.
