Wow nice pics! Looks like you had a nice time there.
BTW how long was the flight to KSM?
Is the prop plane shaky?

Thanks for sharing  :thumbsup: , really nice pictures you have there.

I been there twice and love the place so much . My last visit was back in 2005 and would love to go back again given a chance. For those who plans to go there , do visit their ' open air ' hawker center where over 50 stalls serving wide varieties of authentic local food with super affordable price, i.e. patai costs RM1.50 +/- with prawns and etc. Don't miss it.

Flight to Koh Samui from Subang took around 2 hrs. Flight is comfort, depend on the weather i think.
