We are leaving Koh Samui today for Bangkok and I purposely book the afternoon flight so that we have some more time in the morning to enjoy the beautiful hotel.

Our last breakfast at Zest.











After breakfast, we visited the library next door. We passed by this library every morning after breakfast but never took the time to take a look until our last day.








Soon, it was time to return to our room and get ready to leave. It has been a wonderful stay at Conrad Koh Samui and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again. It's such a beautiful resort and the service is amazing. When we checked out, they gave us a souvenir which is a box of chocolate and turtles.


Last few pictures at Conrad Koh Samui while waiting for our driver to send us to the airport.



After about an hour, we reached Koh Samui Airport and checked in to our domestic flight to Bangkok.




Koh Samui's airport is like open air like Hawaii and we have to take a tram from the check in counter to the security line.







Once we passed the security line, we saw the courtesy corner for Bangkok Air, which is the airline that we are taking. There was some light snacks and drinks while we wait for our flight.







We had to take another tram from the waiting area to our plane.






After about 1 hour and 15 minutes of flight, we reached Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport.



We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel. For our stay at Bangkok, I picked Lancaster Bangkok hotel due to the good reviews. The hotel is pretty nice 5 star hotel but the kids were disappointed as we had just stayed at Conrad Koh Samui. For our next strip, I think I will try to save the best hotel for the last so that the kids doesn’t get disappointed. Once we checked in to the hotel, we decided to venture to Terminal 21 Shopping Mall to check it out. The hotel has shuttle ride to the MRT station where we can take the MRT to Terminal 21 Shopping Mall.


























After dinner at Terminal 21 Foodcourt, we decided to check out another popular Mall, Siam Paragon. We had to take the Skytrain this time.




Since it was new year's eve, there was a lot of people everywhere we go.











Next we decided to go to another nearby mall, Siam Square One to check out 2 dessert cafes. One of them is the Hello Kitty Cafe and the other is After You Dessert Cafe. After looking at their menu, we decided to pick After You Dessert Cafe.








After You Dessert Cafe is just around the corner of Hello Kitty Cafe and is full of people. We had to get a number and wait for about 30 minutes before we get a table.








The dessert was delicious and we would come back again.



After dessert, we decided to head back before it gets too late. And we watched the New Year countdown in our room. It's our first time celebrating New Year at Thailand and would love to go to different country each year to celebrate New Year.
