1st July 2009
PakTengku Azman ( who had come along to challenge pakdokter at golf) and family had gone out to Chaweng , the downtown of Koh Samui after checking into our hotel. So pakdokter and partner decided to ask the concierge for recommendations for fine dining, instead of settling for the usual standard hotel offerring.
We were directed to the ' Fisherman's Village' which was an easy 15 minutes drive from the Maenam Beach where we were.
welcome to the 'Fisherman's Village..'
looking for villas or apartments to buy.....?
The 'Fisherman's Village' at the Bophut and Choeng Mon beaches is simply a seaside street about a kilometre long with rows of shops, apartments and restaurants lining all along the narrow one-way street. Shops selling tee-shirts, swim-suits, Thai textiles and souveniers are a plenty. For food, there was an array of Thai, Indian, French, Italian, Irish and Sea-food restaurants to choose from.
tee-shirts, swim-suits....
Carpe diem restaurant...serving Thai and International cuisine...Pakdokter and partner settled for the 'Pier', a restaurant belonging to a young Belgian couple which served a 'fusion' of Thai-Western dishes.
The view from the restaurant was fantastic. The dining table on a verandah overlooking the sea
faced the Bophut pier and the stunning sunset to the west was a spectacle......

Some of the buildings along the beach were renovated into apartments and - believe it or not - the apartments were being rented out for 7500 bahts ( RM750) per week. This is one place to consider in future trips!

to 31 years of partnership.....and another 31 years of good and healthy life!
