Eating Out

Almost all restaurants on Koh Samui were outdoors. The weather is so warm all year round there is no need for walls. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of Anna eating as she didn't want photos of her with her mouth full.

Tuk Tuk Drivers were definitely the way to get around. One had to beware of the "quick just to have a look stop". The driver typically got several liters of benzine (Gasoline for the Americans) for free  if he brought tourists into the shop. Somehow they were always able to pick us out of a crowd.

This band was excellent. It was definitely interesting to see a Thai band playing Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and The Doors. Wouldn't you know it, they didn't know any RUSH.
