Good morning and another beautiful day in Samui for you, how are you doing today?
It is another beautiful day on Koh Samui and today we are gonna go and explore
the north of the island the beaches the temples and whatever else we find there
ah now the first place we are going to go to is the main and biggest beach on
the island is Chaweng Beach so let's take you down there show you what there
is to do show you what the beach is like and have a look around
Now a little bit north of Chaweng Beach is Choeng Beach now it's a little bit
quieter it's only about a 10 minute ride of a bike or songthaew north of Chaweng
so it's easy to get to and it's a much quieter beach and it's very beautiful it's great
for swimming and sunbathing let me show you how stunning it is here we go
there's a little bar restaurant here on the beach for drinks and food
The next stop on our tour of Samui is the Big Buddha top of the island you
can't miss it a big golden buddha let's take you up and have a look
[Wat Plai Laem]
and now we're at the Khao Hua Jook Chedi temple which is the one you can
see lit up on top of the hill at night just a short walk up apparently it's
a beautiful temple with beautiful views let's go and have a look
Now we're at Bophut Beach which is on the north end of the island you turn down the turning
from fisherman's village in Bophut otherwise you go have to go through a resort,
park at the end, free parking as far as I'm aware,
and then you're on the beach
right here
What a beautiful day and now we're on the north of Koh Samui at Mae Nam Beach
and now this looks quieter and equally beautiful as the others such a lucky
with the day as well look at this Wow
How does that look? And how busy is that not?
There's a few people here and there
but not very much at all
very quiet
beautiful it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon now
oh what a fantastic today we have had and now at the finish, if I don't get run over,
I'm going to the Mae Nam night market
- excuse me
trying to run me over here
okay managed it, there is a Mae Nam night market which is somewhere along the road
here so I parked the bike back there because you can't drive down there and
now I've got to find my way in and show you around
Come and have a look at the Mae Nam night
market somewhere, somewhere up here
oh so this is the Mae Nam night market starts at 5 p.m.
goes to about 11 p.m. every Thursday evening in Chinatown in Mae Nam and
there is a lot on offer, mostly food I would have to say,
a lot of good food, cocktails
but also your usual souvenirs necklaces clothes
shorts and all sorts but it's a nice atmosphere, it is mostly a tourist
market not a local market the prices aren't too expensive especially
considering you're an island, a beautiful island at that, but it's great fun you
everybody's in good spirits everybody's happy apart from a few of the grumpy tourists but
we'll let them off, anyway let me show you some of the wares on offer here
