I am planning on posting a Samui back road antics special.. How's about it, Jimmy? I don't want to keep all this precious material only for myself..

Up to you !!!! .... just use the clean ones though!

So go steady there....

You be careful Sire Dancealot,

What's in your purse?

The Samui Backroad special.

Jimmy and me started as usual with some excellent high sugar Indian coffee from always charming: Mr. Krishna who was more then happy to provide one of his rides to a friend.

Subsequently moving towards to foot of the mountains where J previously resided amongst the Samui Natives.

The Bikes: An excellent Honda PCX and a sad excuse for a motorbike arranged by the Indians for the visitor and his wife.

We barely negotiated the first 7% steep hill successfully. Which was just the beginning of much steeper non paved hills, consequently stopped the bikes and complained to the Indians accordingly via mobile phone.

After some pointless blethering we decided to move on and breathtaking views where to be enjoyed.

Are you sure they understand your directions ?

Samui back road special 2

All set. let's go there, bikes are ok and spirits are high.

No more concrete..

I thought we where kind of lost now but I trusted in the guide's expertise.

It's really beautiful and rough out there. I like roughing it and I am thankful to my guide.

Samui back road special 2

Now those are my kind of roads.

Looks like you had a great ride out.

Must be a challenge in the wet.

Samui back road special 3

Here I will reveal J's official photographer and bike mechanic. He really is clueless when it comes to photography and bike repair.

We still have to reach the top, and we can thanks to my wife. Let's go!

More direction guidance was given by Samui experts

I am struggling to keep up with my guide

There he is!

Darn, I lost him, again.

Actually better when they are wet or driving on after a rain....Shaggy, sand is not as slippery as it is when bone dry !!!!

I have many more images posted on the Samui forum.... you will need to go through them as there are a few beach pics too!

Since DAL was here, another local TV member and I, have discovered many more Samui back roads!

You can look here!

Well his shoes got a bit warn out, as you can see from the pic above.... it was really slow going ....not quite the same as dancing through the tulips!!!!

Pancake land... that's a new one!

My guide was very professional. If he didn't warn me about the loose dry sand I would have been in bother.
