.. and Micke´s and friends vacation trip went to.. the luscious coconut island of KOH SAMUI, THAILAND JANUARY 6-21st 2007 The most efficient way of getting around the island was by scooter Not as quick as a top fuel dragster, but we were actually thinking Koh Samui would be a great place to organise some scooter dragracing! Photo: Micke posing by the vehicle of his choice.. (click to enlarge any photo)   Koh Samui has a lot to offer- beautiful sceneries, a great climate and a lot of activties for those who prefer an active stay on the island- elephant trekking, fishing, snorkeling, just to mention a few options. Not to forget the Thai kitchen.. yes there was cooking classes available as well, but we rather enjoyed someone else to cook for a change! Photo: How does chicken satay, pineapple, prawn cakes with cashew nuts sound for lunch? Photo: An island of contrasts with its simple way of living among the coconut palms.. .. or if you rather prefer.. a convenient  stay at any of the resorts Chaweng Beach has to offer (pictured the First bungalow resort) Sometimes the weather changes quickly and an occasional thunder shower appears, but the sun is never far away and the climate is pretty even throughout the year Photo: The beaches around the island are sandy and surrounded by the most beautiful setting. Pictured is the  same beach (situated by the First Bungalow resort) from different angles We could go on and on, but this may give you an idea of what a vacation at Koh Samui can be like. Maybe we will add some more photos when times allow it!
