It's said to be rain season and Samui has rained for FOUR
weeks straight. I mean mushrooms are adorable but I wish I were not them at all
because I can't live without the sun and I can't bear high humidity. I hardly
use the R word but in this case I have to admit that I was so close to moving to
Bangkok (or anywhere else) for good.
Suddenly,
the sun came back today with perfect autumn breezes and pleasant honey sunshine
for the whole day since we woke up. After happily taking care of the laundry, we
went to Choengmon, (one of) our favorite spot(s) to sunbathe, have a Thai
massage and test Matt's new camera as well to celebrate. This area is just as
enjoyable as any other bustling beaches. There are many bars and restaurants
both on the beach and on the main road, so you’ll be sure to find something for
your taste.

Lately we are working on the
idea of helping people arrange their elopement, which was seeded from the
conversation with Chu and trying hard to bring that idea to life. This is one of
the venues we pick for our first couples. Even if you
are not gonna say "I do" here, keep reading because it's still worth a visit.
Don't forget to bring your swimsuit, hats and suncream.

Location:
Follow the main road 3km from Big Buddha toward Plai Laem to the east you will
find Imperial Boat house. Take the first left turn at the corner, go straight
inside for 500meters to reach Honey seafood. You can park your vehicles there
and enjoy the most simplified complex of food, beverage, massage and water
sports. Enjoy!!!
About
the closest beach - Bangrak, where Choengmon is located: As a favorite drop-off
point for those traveling by boat to full moon parties at Koh Phangan, it has
long been the hangout for younger travelers. There is, however, plenty to see
and do regardless of your age or budget,
from wandering
down the beach in the morning and
watch the Big Buddha
statue to the east, or going out to the bars and restaurants in the evening..
The calm waters of Bang Rak are also good for a morning swim, a great way to get
started for the day. If you’re not a fan of hotel breakfasts, walk back from the
beach along the main road to find small cafés and eat as the locals do.
P/S:
If you are going to stay in the area, my one and only recommendation is The Nest
boutique villa. Spacious, clean and safe room, chic-designed furniture,
excellent service, informative hosts for less than 40$ icl. breakfast. Others
may offer cheaper, lower price and unguaranteed quality but The Nest is real
value :-)
