Koh Samui

Recently I spent two weeks on Koh Samui.
Amazing, I guess that's why they call it "Amazing Thailand". We stayed at OP Bungalows, near Chaweng in a beautiful garden setting.


The restaurant attached to the Bungalows has wonderful food, helpful people, pictures and English explanations of the food and reasonable prices. Service is great. Drinks are amazing and also inexpensive.

The beach is gorgeous, large trees cover part of the beach near the restaurant when you don't want sun but when you do, they have chase loungers nearer the water. Lots of room for everyone. Bungalows go for 850 baht to 1500 baht (remember the baht is at this time worth 34 of the American dollars) Very nice, clean, porches on all and air conditioning. What else could you want. I am not paid for this article, it is however my favorite place to stay.

o offer the traveler. It is a circle loop road going around the island community to community. You can take a tuk-tuk or from place to place for pennies.
Koh Samui is easy to get to. You can go by plane for about $90.00 US each way per person. There is a ferry that takes buses from Bangkok large VIP buses with 24 first class airplane seats each. I enjoy taking the night train from Bangkok, changing in Surat Thani to bus a short distance and then to a passenger boat to the island. Very interesting trip with lots of twists. If you like adventure this is the way to go for sure.

For your reading pleasure the lady at Saii Books can hook you up with the latest English language novel as well as trips, bus tickets, train tickets. check it out. She is great!
