Day 6 Samui










The group woke up early to depart from the hotel for a fun-filled day at Miley Koh Ang Thong National Park. We began our adventure with an hour long boat ride from Samui to the national park. When we arrived we immediately were assigned three person kayaks called Triyaks for a sea kayaking expedition. This event took approximately half an hour, after which students had a choice to relax on the beach and tour the beautiful national park, or take a 500 meter hike to 4 different scenic viewpoints on one of the park's highest peaks. The hike was one of the most physically trying experiences for many of us, but we were eventually able to reach the top and enjoy the spectacular views. After our hike, we got back on the boat to travel to another small island only a short distance away to see the famous Miley Koh Ang Thong Lagoon. After taking many pictures and experiencing the hikes to the new scenic viewpoints, we returned back to the boat for an hour and a half trip back to Samui. After arriving back in Samui the group got changed and went to dinner at a local European restaurant, and soon after traveled to one of the islands most renowned attractions, Bar Ice Samui. It is the world's first tropical island 7 themed ice bar that holds a constant temperature of -7 degrees Celsius. After visiting this extremely unique attraction, we returned to the hotel for the night.
