Samui Diaries

Penguin and I were fortunate enough to visit Koh Samui for a while to experience the beauty of this island. While we stayed most of the time at Villa Punpreeda in Bophut, making the most out of the amenities and our private pool, we did spare some time to see the famous Big Buddha, stroll along the streets to the other beaches, and watch the sunset while we sipped cocktails by the sea at Fisherman's Village. Little bits that make up for a perfect relaxing vacation

Afternoon in Bophut

Penguin and I were invited to spend a weekend in Koh Samui for a wedding. Taking this as an opportunity to give ourselves some pampering and quality time, we flew in two days earlier to do the touristy things and unwind. Ultimately, we found ourselves roaming around the Bophut area on our first afternoon out, particularly in Fisherman's Village, which is a whole strip full of bars, restaurants, souvenir stores, and massage parlors perfectly situated along the beach.
