Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

It's been a lovely week on Koh Samui Island, not that we've done much. It's the Thai New Year Songkran holiday and one of the busiest times of the year for travel. We've been Island hopping, last week Koh Phangan, the party island This week the more sophisticated, Bophut Beach on Koh Samui. I first arrived on the island of Koh Samui in the early 1980's. Back then we seemed to travel for days on the bus, train and a boat to arrive. Now it's less than one hours flight from Bangkok.

I loved the history (even if most of it is rebuilt),  I loved the trend of dressing up in period clothes to visit the Royal Palaces anyone wearing  the traditional Hanbok costumes  gets free entry into the historic sites,  how about that for a good idea? I loved the vibrant colours everywhere... I found the city extremely modern, the transport network was impressive at the people were surprisingly upbeat considering their neighbours.  It was spring so that means candy floss and cherry blossom season.  The weather was perfect! Practically the first place we went to was the Jogyesa Temple,  I mean how could you not be attracted to this colourful scene? The Jogyesa Temple is the main temple in Seoul and the centre of Korean Buddhism. It was built in the late 14th century, but like most of Seoul was des
