Okay... that helps. I've decided to stay in BKK for a day or two and get my bearings and then fly or take the train to Koh Samui... I did find a few resorts, but I think I'll wait and book when I get there... you're right bob, there are soooo many... some quite out of my budget... but there are specials and others that are reasonably priced... can't wait to get my first massage while the ocean air breezes by..

Thanks for all your help everyone.
