It was time to leave the east coast for the sunny west coast. Even though the weather had been great so far, visibility in the water could have been better. And it wasn't improving. Apparently the monsoon was approaching on the east side.
We took a speedboat from Koh Tao to the nearby island Koh Samui to get to an airport.
As can be seen on the pictures the airport security is not that restrictive. You can basically walk past the security scan at the entrance and straight into the airport area.
It's a small airport with a definite Thai feeling. At the airport restaurant I got myself a coconut drink, just to find out that there was a hole in the bottom of the coconut. No drink?! It took some convincing before the staff decided to give me a new one...

Boarding. The stewardess looked at me and quickly decided that I needed some extra space for my legs; length in total app. 2 meters.
Another one of those airport limousine taxis.
Me and Per in the back, heading for Phuket's Patong area. Still haven't figured out why taxi drivers in Thailand are so keen on branding their taxis "limousine" - it's just normal taxis. Might have something to do with the price tag, obviously you're supposed to pay more for a "limousine" than a taxi.
