1 August Bophut part 2

We are safely back in Bophut bay in Koh Samui for the last week of our stay in Thailand. We'd timed our return to be a Friday so we could go to the night market at Fisherman's Wharf; food stalls and mobile cocktail bars are a harmonious mix.  From the first we collect sweet corn cobs, chicken satays, prawns and mango salad and take a table at the second and order our drinks; pina colada for David, mango mojito for me.  Our theme for Thailand is food - lots of scrummy food.
On Sunday evening we were at The Frog and Gecko, a British type bar beachside which is convenient to land the dinghy and step off the sand and up the stairs to a table.  Tonight they were showing the Austrian Grand Prix on the big screen.
On Wednesday we were back at the Frog and Gecko for Pub Quiz night.   There are expat teams who come every week and the tourist teams, who like us, are there for one night only.  With just David and me in Team Jackster we are the smallest team.  Going in to the half time break we are in the top three with two large (one team with 10 people) expat groups ahead of us and we are the only team to score 100% in a round.  At the end of the competiton the ten person team have scored highest, but the smallest team scores the highest amongst the tourists. Yes, Team Jackster.  Our prize was a drink on the house.
The following Sunday we were back for another Grand Prix race, this time from Germany and Lewis Hamilton won again.  Is David his lucky mascot?
It's now Monday 1 August and we're cleared out and ready to begin the journey back to Malaysia, destination Kuala Terengganu with stops in Perhentian and Redang islands.
