wow ! we should be friends !

it's like people living around Pattaya but who see the sea once a year at most because they live in the <deleted>ty darkside hahahaha, so funny !

if it was to live far from the sea I would live in mountains !

 

Many, if not most, Farangs living on Samui never go to the sea voluntary (Diving instructors, boat tour people, sports staff of hotels ... have to). Many don´t go to the sea at all. Never! That's something I really really can't understand. Why are they here??

A Farang expat woman, 15 years on Samui, told me once, that I absolutely have to watch a sunset over the sea, if a have a chance..... Because she saw one a few days before and was overwhelmed. She usually can't see such a spectacle, because she is never at the sea. Did not tell her, that I do not only see these fantastic sunsets every day since 30 years from the place I live, but also extremely beautiful sunrises over the mixed palm tree-/rainforest from my sleeping room. And so the perfect moon rises and -sets, crystal clear starry nights, uncountable tropical birds and butterflies around my house,  a big monitor lizard family on my land  ... not hear any cars or bikes, just birds and insects and the wind in the leaves, that all that is extremely magical and around me all the time, most of my life on Samui. She would not understand that.

Did not speak about the extreme tropical beauty of the inland of Samui, by far the biggest part of the island, where almost no one is, but tropical nature at it´s best. Have explored trekking routes years before the first commercial Samui safaris from Menam to Lamai in the beginning 90s and other, and it is still like that at most parts. And more so on Koh Phangan.

Most people like me have vanished in the 90s and 00s. And so guys who came by with their simple sailing boats, guys walking along the coast around the island, guys enjoying nature. All vanished because other people came, who were and are not interested in that at all, but in ridiculous superficialities they can get also at many other places, but somehow choose samui.
