Day 5 Samui










We woke up early on day 5 to catch an early flight to the island of Samui. After only a short 1 hour flight we arrived to our gorgeous destination. After our extremely busy schedule in Tokyo and busy flight schedules, the group was able to relax on the beach at our resort hotel before going to a delicious seafood dinner. The dinner was incredible and consisted of a large variety of local seafood choices, it was any seafood lover's dream meal. After dinner we went to the beach to partake in a Thailand lantern lighting ceremony. Each room was provided with a local lantern, and was told to light the lantern and hold it until the hot gasses caused it to rise in the air. We were instructed to make a wish before the lantern began to rise, and if the lantern rose past the coconut tree line our wishes would come true. This was quite a spectacle to witness and a fun activity for all of us to experience. After the lantern ceremony, we traveled to an extravagant restaurant named "The Cliff" for some after dinner sangria and to witness the spectacular views of the island. Afterward, the group ventured out to experience some of the local nightlife and socialize with one another.
