Rosa’s Bachelorette in Thailand
10 girls for a bachelorette in Thailand? Yeah.
Am I shocked the group chat booked flights? Kinda!
Am I shocked we did it for Rosa? Nope.
She’s the absolute queen of throwing plans out there. Paige killed it on the itinerary and themes. All I did was secure the tickets and pack my fits. I love my friends :’)
3 flights later and we touched down in Koh Samui airport and hopped on a ferry to Koh Tao. A short ride later in the back of a truck, we arrived on top of a gorgeus hill.
Our first stay was in Monkey Flower Villa

It was UNREAL.
minor glitch: our bags got delayed so we didn’t have our swimsuits, theme fits and idk the essentials. BUT when I tell you I literally couldn’t care at all the first day-this view is the reason why. Idk if I landed and the zen vibes hit hard but I just knew they’d arrive. Anywhere else and I would have been calling the airline on repeat.
But I wasn’t anywhere else I was HERE.
Anyway, we got our bags the next days and thank buddha because it was a theme day. Off to the beaches. We had the sweetest lil sand bar set up at Koh Nang Yuan. We wore blue -matchy matchy with the island water hehe pristine af. Blissed out in Blue. I mean look at us. We went splish splash for 6 hours out here.
^This photo was taken by a random man who we politely asked and clearly, the bare minimum amount of effort was put into framing.
…so didn’t make it there but whatever, 10 of us is pretty much a pub crawl anyway
Ladyboy Show @ Queen’s Cabaret
And it was a SHOW- showed up and showed outttt. The sass, the swerves, the sways- I cannot even put it into words because the words in English probably do not exist.
Day 4 Koh Tao to Koh Phangan- https://www.sunsethillresort.com/
Threw down my 5th plate of pad thai that week and power napped. I was on my beach, club, no sleep, club, eat, bus, no sleep, bar, beach, pool , no sleep, club mode.
On to the main attraction –> Full Moon Party
📍 Koh Phangan, 4/5/23, The Last Bender
Yes, that is the best group photo we ended up with. After that blur of a Full Moon Party, a hot mess of a squad climbed back into the bed of a truck and got on a ferry back to Koh Samui. Back on the same island and airport we arrived at – our reality was back in sight. Only wholesome activities allowed. We headed to the temple. With a dresscode.

Day idk at this point-but we recovered from the week and hung out in our infinity pool. Much needed.
