Hazzy in Nathon this morning, another Princess ship in.... (there was one yesterday too) This one had come from Singapore, then to Brunei, Pattaya Samui and back to Singapore...

I was amazed at the number or tour buses, I counted 20 that come from Phuket to show people around the island and also about 20 local Safari trucks....

All destine for different areas of Samui ....

Security seem to be taken quite seriously.... even a navy ship out there....

Some of the Phuket tour guides.... smile!

The mostly Burmese workers working on repairing the fishing nets.... never in their dreams would they be even close to a luxury liner!

untitled-41.jpg

Some "boat people" left to wander the streets of Nathon... those who decided not to do tours...

There has been a few nice sunsets lately... this one at the beach coming up to the Nathon hill, yesterday ... I never remember the name of that beach! facepalm.gif

Now the days are getting longer the sun will move north more each day now, and more visible from some of the north end beaches...

Kilometers of beaches on south west area of Samui..... free to explore, but no bars or restaurants.

Head through the Temple gate just near the Snake farm... a couple of roads to follow... take your pick!

Songkran%2B2016_-110.jpg

Good views of Koh Mudsum and Koh Tan, and the mainland on clear days...it's better.

Songkran%2B2016_-45.jpg

But do watch out for Buffalos! (not a problem.... )

Sadly not so uncommon to see no safety ties etc ^

I guess Songkran, only lasted the usual half day on most parts of Samui...?

This little squirt was in the Nathon area! Of course no helmet on bike riders.... facepalm.gif

Songkran%2B2016_-119.jpg

I had to laugh to see in the CM forum, that a farang was arrested and fined 100 baht for not wearing a shirt....

Samui has different values! whistling.gif

If you follow Richard Barrow on Twitter they're saying the police instructed him to cover up at an opening ceremony attended by the tourism minister but he refused and this was the consequence

This venue is now closed  as Spring 2017

 

 

New fun place to go! Especially for anyone with kids...

Located between Maenam and Ban Tai, almost opposite the Susco Gas station .. (What used to be the Esso station)

Common areas are free to enter ... some activities are user pay... They assured me, that Farang pays same price as Thais!

untitled-60.jpg

Some attractions are not completely finished or open yet...

untitled-49.jpg

All kinds of knick knack stuff for sale

untitled-53.jpg

untitled-26.jpg

Nice sitting areas for meal or drink

untitled-21.jpg

Swimming pool and slides

untitled-17.jpg

Swimming lessons too!

Pool entrance fee 180 baht for kids, 350 baht for adults.

untitled-15.jpg

Pop along, you might even see my friends....whistling.giftongue.png

A few pictures inside the Samui Naval base, insted of turning left to the ferry pier to Donsak you go straight on a few hundred meters,

there is a barrier with an armed guard that will stop you sad.png ...but every one is allowed to go in to visit, the guard will just ask what do you want, heeu just looking... Ok no problembiggrin.png

I reckon without Thai people with us it's not obvious, by the way there is only this one and only boat...but IT IS called the Samui Naval base and belongs to the Royal Thai Navy
