Ko Samui, Thailand.  We were very late getting off the ship due to a medical emergency and we were using tenders that took forever to load as the sea was rolling a bit.  It was not a good island to visit.  We did what was supposed to be about a four hour tour but it ended up being about 6 hours.  We saw monkey and elephant shows, a "Big Buddah" (in need of repair and paint) and a temple with a mummified monk!  The trip back on the tenders was quite exciting.  A squall blew through and the tender platform had to be moved to the opposite of the ship.  We had already left shore and had to float around along with another loaded tender in very rough water for about one hour while they moved the platform. A lot of people were very upset acting like it was Regent's fault that the weather caused a problem!
