Lots of variable weather lately especially on many beaches lately.... but there are lots of good attractions around the island...

Namuang 2 waterfalls.... is worth a visit! ... and it is free! Although some attraction in the area you do pay!

Good non slip walking shoes recommendedwink.png

Lots to do in the area, including elephant riding and other shows.... It's well worth a trip!

Kite surfing, it can vary with winds and tides, this was the south end of Samui, the other day.... just west of Hau Thanon (AKA The Muslim Village, which is quaint and worth a walk through!thumbsup.gif )

It's worth wandering down the beach from the village...

A good start for the new year, the missing photo that were not showing seem to be back!

The sea at least in Maenam area is getting to be a lot calmer now (this was taken, late afternoon yesterday) .... it's nice to see people back swimming and sailing / wind surfing!

We just need the clouds to go now~but it seems to be getting better! thumbsup.gif

Another free spot to go, Secret Waterfalls, off Soi 5 in Maenam, about three kilometers up from the Ring Road, look for Canopy Adventure Tours sign and turn left ..... but it's a bit of a hike, up... road is a bit rough so not good for unexperienced bike riders! Park by Bar and walk! There is also a 15 line Zip line up there... that does cost money! The guys up there will be helpful as to how to proceed to the falls... Looking good now!

Wear good walking shoes, it is a" jungle" pathway and road!

Koh Phangan... Saturday and Sunday, as busy as I have seen traffic in a long time... on all roads!

Maehaad Beach, Koh Ma area, NW side, I would guess busier than Haad Rin beach, SE side ... despite all kinds of Parties being advertised around the island..

First decent sunset in a while! (Maehaad) Calm seas everywhere!

But there are two tourists there....

Well I ain't telling the nice beaches that have no people.... that's a secret.... there are many around though!!! tongue.png

One can always rent this, and go around either Samui or Koh Phangan, or Koh Toa, to find them though...

Seems that tourism is still good for many areas, as it is hard to find places to stay... Not just on Samui, but parts of Koh Phangan and Koh Toa too!wink.png

Sure seems like there is more tourists this march compared to last year.

Been 6 days in Mae Nam and had to look for other restaurants several times because the usual ones were full.

Now been 5 days in fishermann village and looks like a lot of the restaurants are very busy at night.

Off course some very empty too but overall quite a lot of people.

Going to lamai for 12 days tomorrow and will be fun to see how busy it is compared to the last cople of times.

Quite big waves at Lamai the last 3 days.

It is a good idea wearing shorts that fits you.

Saw several people the last couple of days ending up buttnaked in the water, after beeing slammed by the waves.
