would that b sjimmy?

Nah, Jimmy is an honarable man with integrity and style.

He wouldn't think of letting a WOMAN push this puny CRX up the mountain like this guy.

Maenam Koh Samui beach 6am 2013 enjoying Jimmy's shrimp boat.

attachicon.gifIMG_2405.JPG

It's a squid boat!!!! ....tongue.png .... It's actually been running around Maenam and Ban Tai area lately in the afternoon....wink.png

Actually I think it might be more for running tourists around.... for the "experience" , It's owned by New Sunrise Villa off Maenam resort road (Nice place to stay BTW)

I'll stop by sometime and ask them, what the "deal is"wink.png

A beach, area I had never been before... part of the very long Maenam beach.... Buddha Beach, just before one gets to Lomprayah ferry... just a little bar there... but surprisingly busy!!!

At the Buddha beach sign you drive down a dirt road and voila!

Uff, puff, sweat!

Up to Khao Ra (627 mt) a view of the plain going to the sea in Thong Sala

Thong Sala to Madeua Wan seen From Khao Ra

At first i was looking for a plane and then realised you wrote plain.

Plains usually don't involve a lot of trees.smile.png Your ocean looks very blue!

Cant wait for more of your insectssmile.png . I am curious about the eagle, did you make a worthy picture to share here?

Yours,

No Jim, the pics of that eagle were not so special. Today I've seen it again. No camera with me. I hope to get a good picture, sooner or later...

The ascent to Khao Ra was a bit hard thou

More of Samui's secret places revealed themselves to day.... thumbsup.gif It never ceases to amaze me how many beautiful areas there are tucked away on the island~!!!

Another member and I started off from Soi 5 Maenam, to Autoboy Nathon, there is two routes from View point restaurant area... one turning right at top of Soi five, is difficult, the other turning left and just beyond Viewpoint turn right, and follow the road, it takes about 20 -30 mins to get to Nathon...

We then drove to Lipa Noi Chevrolet dealer and turned left there.... goes past the Military barracks ... has signs saying don't go through... just ignore that and keep going.... wink.png Currently only doable on bike, as bridge being renewed... but other than that it's a pretty good concrete road...

The new bridge, not open yet! But a bye pass for bikes to get around!

off the concrete road, but a very nice drive ... and much cooler up in the hills~!
