Koh Samui, More on the beach

The resort beaches on the Island are just like any other beach resorts, beach vendors. We know them as the hounds that keep you from just looking out at the water in splendor just thinking of nothing. No work, no problems. Just these people that hound you all day. The trick to that is not to look at them. If you really don't want to look at what they have to sell, don't look their direction or have eye contact. These people work at this all day. They can spot a turn or a look in seconds.

If you do want to look don't settle for their first price. It is almost always twice as much at least than the thing you are trying to by is worth in the store. I purchased a bed cover, for 1/3 what the store wanted. I was thrilled.

There was, however, one I especially liked that came by while dinner was being served on the beach. He carried a large paper balloon that was propelled like a hot air balloon. On a clear night you could see the light from it for, it seemed, miles in the sky. Like a star in the night sky, make a wish and let it go. They can be purchased for about 100 baht. Sorry I do not have a picture.
The end to a perfect night on the beach
