Welcome to Koh Samui - The reason for living here

Wandering around Koh Samui, past Bhuddist temples and sentinals of ancient Siamese urns and wall sculptures, astounding beauty of every creation greets you.

Past the babbling pools and waterfalls, through old wooden gates into the garden of this other Eden. Spot a thousands flowers, plants and butterflies in a myriad of colour as they embrace even the well travelled, who has seen most and yet, another world awaits.

Just to keep your senses awake to the sights, sounds and smells. An artists inspiration, or was it the nights champagne? Come and find out for yourself.

Stroll through the old banana and coconut plantations and mango groves to the silver sand beaches and cobalt blue waters of the Gulf of Siam. Surely amongst the safest waters in the world. No surf unfortunately for the sun blonde rip riders.

Stretched along this endless coastline, almost tight to each other, cafes and restaurants abound with the welcoming smiles of the local people only too ready and willing to serve up temptingly fresh seafood from the days catch. Take a ride to the summit up the steep hills to the picturesque hideaways of the mountains. Here you dine with the jungle as a canopy, the flora and fauna as windows opening to the lush landscape of the hillsides, valleys, the archipelago and the Gulf of the South China Sea .

For the ever increasing throng of would be Tiger's amongst you, The Samui Golf Club just a short drive (not off the tee) by car awaits.

The old Chinese heritage capital of Samui, Ban Nathon another leisurely drive just fifteen minutes to the old shopping markets teeming with the day's fresh catch, vegetables and locally grown fruit. Sunsets silhouette the fishermen and their boats framing them in every imaginable colour. The lights sparkling in the darkening dusk reflect the head lamps worn to attract the night fish and crustaceans. Bending fishermen and women, the only movement plucking the nights harvest amongst the shallow warm water, ready for the evenings culinary temptations.

For the adventurous amongst you a one hour hike over the hillside pn the centre of the island will lead you to a world of waterfalls untouched by the contemporary. Bring some hiking boots if you enjoy walking adventures.

To live on Samui without trekking with the most elegant and gentle of all beasts the Thai elephants will leave you wanting and disappointed. Have no fear of these giants, they are warm and loving. Their treat for you, an expedition through the streams, woods and waterfalls of ancient flora and fauna that is Samui.

Samui airport, arguably one of the world's most beautiful is a mere maximum twenty five minutes by car from anywhere on the island. One could make a case for visiting just on the strength of the airport. And you haven't far to go home either have you?

All of Paradise is here for you. The Paradise, Koh Samui. Here the creators of dawn and dusk, the sunrise and sunsets paint with such vibrancy and drama from a pallette an artist can only dream of. Enjoy them, they are here every day and night with a new portrait.
