LAZING BY THE POOL

We’re half way through the year – a look at what’s happening on Samui!

In many ways this is the laziest time of all. We’ve had all the colour and ceremony of Chinese New Year. And we’ve survived being drowned again in the Thai New Year. Easter has come and gone. And, here on Samui, we’re left lazing by the pool and wondering what there is to do or see.

Actually, there are lots of sights to see, from the magical ‘Buddha’s Secret Garden’ up the mountain, to the curious Mummified Monk, complete with his trendy Ray Bans. Although the hottest time of the year has supposed to have passed, very often June and July can catch you out with a week of temperatures in the low 30s that leave you gasping and reaching for the aircon dial.

But that’s fine if you get yourself out on the water, on one of the many boat trips to one of the islands or even the pleasant few hours of a sunset cruise. And that, of course, leads right into looking forward to a new place for your evening meal.

Samui’s got one of the best selections of cuisine anywhere in the world. Just one thing – many of those little restaurant gems are hidden away. So take a look inside to see what we’re featuring this month – you won’t be disappointed!
