The grand Finale, end of our Surat Thani and Koh Samui Trip!

Today is the last day of our journey to Surat Thani and Koh Samui with the folks travelling with me. Our first stop was to visit the Monkey Training School which basically teach monkeys to do their masters bidding. A trainer will be allocated to the monkeys and thus training begins. The owners will bring their monkeys that they've bought and bring them here to be trained by the trainers. It was quite educational and interesting how the trainers go about their daily routines where they train these monkeys to go up the coconut tree to pick the coconuts, how to untie the knots that is created whilst climbing those trees just in case, it get tangled together. Even teaching those monkeys to go underwater just in case those coconuts dropped into the river, it was a eye-opener for all of us there and especially the children enjoyed it very much. After every training, we the audiences will clap and cheer for the monkeys and although it was raining, the monkey and the trainer relentlessly performed for us. It was really a sight to behold. I was really glad that we came to watch this performances although it was raining cats and dogs again.

OKAY, enough of monkey business...Next, SHOPPING.....one of we the Singaporean favourite past-time. We alighted at this Tesco Lotus Shopping Mall for a final round of shopping before we head back to the restaurant for our final dinner before we board our flight back to Singapore.

Oh, i forgot to introduce the female Artiste that followed us throughout the trip. She is Ms Jin Ying Ji (we all call her Jin Jie). She is one funny lady, she sings and dance like there is no tomorrow with her high pitch voice. She sang us a duet with one of our passengers during our din. Before, she travelled with us, she was telling me that she will be bring two big suitcases to bring back all the shopping that she has done here in Surat Thani (oh dear, poor me will be AH SUM, carrying those suitcases for her), but it ended well, all our passengers was happy to have joined this trip. From our conversation with her although she may be a artiste, she doesn't really have "Airs" to show or maybe she is already pass her fame time but she is down to earth and willing to just chat up with you and teach you one or two things about life itself. She is indeed full of life experiences and one definitely can learn many things from her...(hey, you don't get that kind of advice nowadays...but i think my mum does...or is it called nagging...)
