Popular Post Dancealot Posted July 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2013 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dancealot Posted July 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) 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.

Must be a challenge in the wet. 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! http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/125263-images-of-samui-phangan-and-tao/page-14 Re DAL's last post.... we did not notice you stepping up to the plate to help!!!

It fits the topic. Lighting, shutter time and Focal length can all be prepared. Then I just take one shot. Lucky?..!? Sometimes..
