Wow, betahan already, after seeing so many nice photos... must go this island la. Been to Phuket 5 times but not Koh Samui.   

Thx Silverstan for sharing.

I second Chris to have GTG at Koh Samui. Right place to show off our diver watches.

me and my wife plan to go again.

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

[Cocobean]

Thanks for sharing  , 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.
