Day 291 Koh Samui (Thailand) / motorbike GS Dakar RTW overland adventure traveller

Left – I’m staying here…
22nd January 2015
Miles rode 0

My son Olly booked his flight to come and travel with me in March, he flys into Bangkok and then we’ll ‘backpack’ throughout Cambodia and Vietnam.

How wonderful, I cannot wait as by the time he arrives we won’t have seen each other for nearly 11 months.

The decision to hang around Koh Samui was easy and as I have a friend with a great place to stay in a quiet corner of the island.

5 weeks with nothing to do except chill out and enjoy life…

Another period of non blogging for me…

  2. Hi Dan, great that you are getting to see your son after so long – but I’ll miss my regular “fix” of reading your blog!

  3. So happy that Olly coming out, you will both have a wonderful time. Meanwhile, carry on ‘chilling out’ xx

  4. We are a class of 5 and 6 years old. We are from Chelmsford and are following your journey.

    We want to know what has been your best country so far and why?

  5. Hello class 1E, Its lovely to know you are following me, the news has made my day. My best country so far was Myanmar because of the wonderful people, they constantly smile and are so happy. If you have any further questions I would be happy to answer them. Dan

  6. Hi Dan
    We are so happy to read your reply and have found Myanmar on our class world map. Today’s question is:
    How did you get across the English Channel?

    Thank you.

    Form 1E at Widford

  7. Class 1E,
    I crossed the English Channel by boat from Dover to Calais in France. I have only used boats twice, crossing the English Channel and getting to the island of Koh Samui where I am now. The next boat crossing I have to make will be from Malaysia to Indonesia.

  8. Thank you Dan. We have just learnt about the English Channel so we were very excited about your reply. Today’s question:
    We have looked on our World Map and wonder if you are going to Australia after Indonesia?

    Thank you
