Beaches and Futsal in Thailand

After a few days in Bangkok we headed to Koh Samet - a lovely island just a 3 hour drive from Bangkok.  Chuck and I have been here twice before - 22 years ago when we backpacked through Asia and then again 17 years ago when we Dragonboat raced in Bangkok with our friends.  The island has grown up - lovely hotels and restaurants but the beach has stayed the same - soft white sand, tourquoise water and jungle coming right down to the beach.  We splurged and stayed at a fancy beachfront hotel.  We ate seafood on the beach at night, lazed and swam during the day.  It was great!









































After our week at the beach Cole and Chuck went to the FIFA World Cup Futsal Tournament in Bangkok.  They saw 2 matches - Paraguay vs Costa Rica and Thailand vs Ukraine.  They had a great time - cheering with the home town crowd - Thailand is very proud of their team!
