Man, you've been really driving across the island today.

That's why I get so annoyed by people complaining about chairs on the beach in Lamai or Chaweng. There's bloody lots of other beaches around the island.

Looking towards Koh Tan...

Koh Mudsum (Hope not mixed those two up! ^^^wink.png

No, correct.

Koh Taen = Island of the bees.

Koh Mudsum = Island of the orange ants.

Chong Mon Beach...

Pretty laid back at this time of year.... swarms of people in High season! No waves to speak of, which is often the case ... but can depend on wind direction!

Plai lam Temple... In same area as Big Buddha, about a kilometer further up the road... nicer in my opinion than Big Buddha!

view from the road that goes around the back of the temple grounds! Many people would miss that~ !

If any one has wondered what the floats have been doing going around Samui, over the past few days.... Wonder no more!

It's been a part of the annual "Vegetable Festival".... now taking place in Nathon, October 16 to 24....

Anyone wanting to see a bit of Thai Culture can head to Nathon water front ... *.... afternoons and evenings probably best...

I think every Wat around Samui is represented with some very impressive looking floats...thumbsup.gif

Regardless of its name, it is an event worth taking a boo at! thumbsup.gif

Thanks, Sergun, thumbsup.gif

yes it is a whole different world, so close to us here, .... well worth the day trip when the weather is good, unfortunately the rains have now started, so perhaps not so nice this month of November ... but back to normal in high season!

Here are a few more to enjoy!

Angtong%2BMarine%2BPark%2B-1520.jpg

another way to see them is by long-tail boat, I am not sure which company!

Notice every one is wearing life jackets on the open boats!

Angtong%2BMarine%2BPark%2B-1391.jpg

Angtong%2BMarine%2BPark%2B-1457.jpg

No 7 11's cars or motorbikes! thumbsup.gif

Almost back to Samui, although that is Koh Phangan is the back!
