Roadtrip to Koh Samed : Day One

It's weekend again so, I woke up pretty late around midday on Saturday. Once I got up, I suddenly had an idea just to get on my bike and ride away. It was time for a ROADTRIPPP!!! Destination my favourite island, Koh Samed.
MK ready to ride
 Set the Navigator to Rayong pier, 200km for the distance to arrival. Before hitting on the road I had to fuel up my bike. Got full tank just for less than 10euros and it lasted there and back with one tank. Convenient!
Roads in Thailand are surprisingly very good, didnt need to slow down at any time due to conditioned road. Traffic was smooth, weather was perfect, I really enjoyed the whole ride. Especially when riding pass the mountains, definetly catches an eye!
Arriving to the rayong pier after 200km ride. The smell of the sea and the sound of the wave got me so excited! Arms burned already.
 Chicken salad before jumping on the ferry to the island.
Chicken salad + smoothie mix, mmm!
To get to the island, most convenient way is to get on one of these ferrys. The ride costs 50thb=1euro and it takes about 30-40minutes to arrive in Koh Samed, the ferrys leave every hour until 5pm. After that you can only get to the island by renting a speedboat which would cost about 200-300 per person depend on how many people would want to share a boat with you.
While chilling on the rooftop I met some new friends studying and living in Bangkok, just like me, escaping the city for the weekend.
Chilling on the deck, catching some Vitamin D.
    "Ahooy, I CAN SEE THE LAND!!"
"If you keep waiting the for perfect time it will never be perfect. So, just go ahead and make it f*cking happen!! " - that was the feeling I had while sailing to the sunset, magical :) 
    Koh Samed the main pier.
    Everytime I come to this island, I always stay in this resort.
    With just 500 thb (10euro) a night, you get room like this with an exclusive full beach view! I think they could easily charge thousands for this.
