We are at a resort on a mostly deserted Tong Yang beach on the west coast of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. We make daily trips double or triple on the "Harley Hog" I hire at 10 bucks a day. 
We know our way around the local town ... stopping first at "Heaven Available on Earth" coffee lodge, then the "beer store" before 2pm (Thai law prohibits sale 2-5pm for some bizarre reason) for some Heineken ($6 six pack) then to the banana stand road side for some fresh fruit ... then later to the fine dining cafe (pretty much all restaurants are wide open to the skies here) ... an eatery with zero percent ambiance but 100% excellent Thai food (tipped off by the crowds of locals inside). Some days we do the full island tour (1 hour). Every day we do homework with M+M before happy hour and the spectacular west coast sunset.
Easter Sunday we hop, hop, hop over to Phuket (pronounced poo-get) for a new view of Thai beach life. Apparently Phuket is pretty much 100% rebuilt after being devastated by 2004 Tsunami. Someone told me they even have internet on computers now! Maybe we can go online and find pictures of Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies ... this combined with Mikaela's easter bonnet ... feels just like home.
