hi my name is josie and today we're on pig island we are currently in Koh Samui we have just moved
into this beautiful home state right on the beach we have a tour book today taking us from
here to one of the islands surrounding Koh samui to snorkel with the fish even though i'm kind of
scared of that from there they're going to take us to pig island where apparently there are pigs you
can pat i'm excited to spend another day on Koh samui to see the island and these pigs let's go
well you already know what we're doing today we're going to pig island and we're going to go
snorkeling off one of the islands as well we've got in the bus it took about an hour we went
around the island and basically picked up other people from their um hotels and things as well
um so now we're just at the pier i guess where we get on the boat to get to the islands um we're
just waiting for everyone everyone seems to be in a group but i have to come and get coffee so you
know but we're gonna head over there now um i'm not sure how long it takes to get there i think
i'll ask um and we'll go from there but we're gonna go snorkeling first i think and then we're
gonna go to the pig island and then i think that we get lunch or something at some point as well so
we're gonna get fun food sun let's go so now we're just waiting to basically get on
the boat we got all different like colored uh like string so i think that correlates as to
what boat we get and he just said we have broke three so we're waiting for the boat
but there's a lot of people here there's a lot more than i um sort of expected there would be
so with the tours you can literally be walking anywhere and you see a shop that has tours they're
everywhere so you'll be able to find one no matter literally anywhere you go so don't stress about
not being able to find which two are but you'll be able to find them all on the street everyone
does them they're everywhere and all for about a similar sort of price anywhere between like
forty to sixty dollars um so anywhere from i don't know thousand two thousand five hundred baht we're
all on the boat now i think we're just waiting for everyone to get on and then i think we're heading
off but it's pretty comfortable i'm not sure how long the ride is these ones go really fast
though we had a boat like this back from kolan to pattaya so they go pretty fast and i'm excited
it's a good day it's not raining doesn't look like a trainee looks really sunny
looks good one hour the first island and then we are the penis swimming and snow glen we are
going to quick island i don't know if you guys know this but i'm actually scared of the water
like very scared like sharks anything in the water i'm very scared of them so this is actually a lot
everyone's quiet this is actually um a little bit of facing my fear
today because i'm very scared to get in there so if i scream that's why song song
okay so i'm a little bit scared and i don't um i don't think i've ever gone snorkeling before
i remember one time me and my cousin went um scuba diving in gold coast in australia
except we didn't go that far it was like i could still probably almost touch the ground so
i haven't done this before um so i think i'm excited i don't know do i breathe through this
i don't know what to do so i'm gonna go in now um pro tip i used to wear these when i
was an underwater photographer and if you put like a little bit of toothpaste on the inside
or even just then it'll like stop it from fogging so all right i'm gonna i'm gonna go
i'm scared okay all right i'm going all right i'm gonna go oh we are recommending i'm like
hyping myself up now i'm really scared it's so warm it's always so warm in here oh there's fish
you see them this reminds me of my when i went to ireland falls and i
couldn't get in because there was so many fish and it was scary i'm gonna
this is scary for me i'm not gonna lie all right let's get into this
oh there's so many fish here
i'm scared i'm gonna like kick them
okay so i'm back on the boat and i was just snorkeling and there was like coral parts and
there was a lot of fish like right at the boat like i guess they know that that's where they'll
get feet i don't know but there's a lot of fish right here and then when you went out
there there was some big ones um a lot of like maybe schools or smaller ones as well
but no big things that will eat me which is good um now we're just back on the boat and
we're just heading to pig island which i think is just literally back there i'm not sure okay
so now we are going to the big island just only five minutes from here to big island yeah
so we're just getting off the boat now the water's so warm i can't get over it i was like
when i popped in before i was like expecting it to be like really really cold so warm
so we're on the island now what about you i don't see any pigs maybe they're are serious where
oh they're like little street dogs but beach pigs
oh he's wagging his tail
hey little one
rocks
oh he's like digging with his nose oh don't eat
that was the cutest thing i've seen okay that one bites i'm gonna go uh sit over here now
someone isn't having a good day oh there's like street dogs here too but on the beach
oh my gosh leave that alone
there was one that is pregnant i think and it was like um they came up and they're like oh
it's biting it bites so i saw it like turn around almost nip someone so i'm like on edge but they
said the rest of them are fine there's about to be another pregnant one they're they're um
they're in the works over there for some more pigs on the island i think oh okay he's chilling now
he was like going at it before the hair is really like hard if that makes sense it's like coarse um
it's not like fluff fluffy i don't know i don't think i've ever powdered a pig before hey missy
okay so there's obviously a place here as well that is pretty much the bar so you can
get drinks while you're here cocktails are around 200 baht fruit shakes are around 100
beers 100 cokes 50. um so i might get a cocktail actually so i got the tequila sunrise and michael
got a leo it cost 350 baht altogether so 12 about 16 australian and i don't know about 12 13 us i'm
not sure um but they're just like they're just laying everywhere and they're pretty cool with
you coming up and just padding them and things like that but it's a really good view from this
cafe out straight to the beach and things too we have uh food coming in around 12. um so that's
soon it was about 45 minutes since we got here until 12 so got here about 11 quarter past 11
and now we're just gonna have a drink and probably sit there and have our food as well
and then you can go kayaking there's kayaks over there he said it was free
um so i'll just double check that and i might do that on my own they're so cute look at the figgies
so we might just drink this for a little bit with our really amazing view of the water and all the
boats in front of us here we've got a really good seat i think so we might just enjoy these drinks
our food comes in about 15 minutes so we might eat that then we might go for a little wander down the
beach maybe get a kayak or just explore and um go from go from there i think looks really pretty
looks really pretty here called mad sun that's the name of the actual island so um oh that is that's
strong that's worth your money so we have some lunch here we just got asked on the boat if you
like vegetarian or meat and we just said meat so we have some chicken wings which i'm sure
mark will tuck into we have some fruit we have a bowl of soup which i'm sure has like some kind of
chicken or something in it and then you have chicken with what looks to be like pineapple
and you have a whole bunch of rice in this big container so we're gonna eat this try this you
didn't get a choice of what it was it was just lunch provided and like i said you choose meat
or vegetarian so let's get stuck in a bit more on the average side but it was included in the
whole in the whole trip so if you come here and you aren't on a tour apparently you can just buy
the food or buy food so that might be different menu i'm not sure oh look at them they're so cute
you just stole all my food oh okay i'll leave them to eat i think
this one's so bossy he like just pushes everyone around i feel really bad these people are like
pulling this pig away from it like everyone else and like trying to like
get it in the water just let the pigs do what they want and you just like you don't go around
them yeah and you just you get what you can but just let them be their muffin like right now we
could we could try and get them yeah i feel like they're eating and they're happy just
so we just ate and we have a couple of hours free now on the island to do sort of whatever we want
let's play the pigs for a bit and we might go swim and kayak over there
now
so
me okay so i got my time wrong and we're actually leaving at two not three i thought
we're living at three but i thought it would say goodbye to the little piggies
i don't know if this is the one that bites or not so i'm not gonna go near it
he's just doing his own thing
see ya it's not exactly like the pigs are in the water jumping playing around with you it's not
really like that but they are on the like on the road on this on the road they are on the sand and
on the land and they kind of just chill and you like kind of interact with them when you want to
when you can um and it cost by the way 50 baht to get on the island so even if you came by yourself
not with a group tour we had to pay the tour plus the 50 baht each to get on the island but if you
come by yourself i think you still pay yeah you still pay the 50 per person to get on the island
um and then your thing from there that's my tour bus in the guide so let's get on the boat because
everyone's getting on okay so once we finish on the island we got a boat a speed boat back to
the mainland and they also had a mini bus that took everyone back to their hotels respectively
and that's what we did so i will say that that was about 40 australian dollars from memory which
is about a thousand baht now i will say that my thoughts on gossamerie are that it's very
expensive to get anywhere my final thoughts are that if you're comfortable on a bike it
will probably work out cheaper in the long run to rent a bike and drive it around the island
yourself because taxis are basically the only form of getting around the island and they are
very expensive it's anywhere from an hour experience we've been paying six to seven
a hundred baht to get anywhere so i do feel like wherever i stay is sort of where i am stuck if
that makes sense so for me the tour was worth it on the basis that the mini bus to pick us up from
our place and to take us to the wharf and also the boat was included anyway because boats again
are around three to four hundred baht so when you combine the fact that would have to have paid for
a taxi to get to the pier and and pick us up from the pier at the end of the day and the speed boat
ride there and from the whole day was worth it for that price just for the transfers themselves so it
was very good tour you got a lot of freedom to do whatever you want but that's all i have for today
and make sure you do like and subscribe that means a lot to me and i'll see you in the next one bye
