Thailand Safari World








Lion feeding in the Safari. This is normally performed in the morning about 10AM. As such, you have to arrive before 9.15AM. Because from the entrance of the Safari Park to the Lion site took about 15 to 20 minutes.

Guess what is the lion doing??? It is doing "BIG BUSINESS". Actually it's very smelly one. This lion look skinny, I think it must be quite old already.


This is the site where those tame animals are resided. Over here you can open your car window and take photos freely, so long as you don't get out from your car. Anyway, you can still see sign boards the warn visitors do not feed the any kind of animals in the park.


After we visited the Safari Park, the entered the Sea Park. This is the Sea Lion show in the park. The weather was hot, so if you got a mini motor-fan with you in hand will be very good. Anyway, if you don't have, you can always purchase from stalls in there. As usual, it is much more expensive than if you buy out side. During weekdays, there are 4 shows per day. But during weekend, there are more shows for visitor. So, visit during week-end.

Samui Peninsular SPA




I was staying in this hotel during my trip in Koh Samui. I got this hotel via Vacation Time Sharing week exchange. I did not find out the hotel rating, but I think it should be a 5 stars hotel. The service is good.

For the room type we stayed, my wife actually checked the walk-in room rate, before discount it is about RM1000.00 per suite per night, it comes with 2 bedrooms with attached washroon, 1 living hall and a small kitchen.



In the evening, we were having buffet dinner here, the scene is perfect. The buffet dinner cost us about RM50.00 per person. There were many types of seafood available, like grayfish, lobster, crabs, prawns etc. The only thing that I don't quite like is that most of the food are spicy.



From the hotel lobby, we can see the swimming pool and the seaside that is not too far from us. Because it is very near the seaside, the lobby is not installed with air-cond. It is very windy the whole day. At night, it is even much better.



This is one of the very expensive hotel suite. We asked the hotel staff on its room rate. It is more than RM1500.00 per night. We don't have a chance to have a look at it facilities, but the hotel staff told us that it has a private swiming pool and garden.



The seaside is very quite because it the hotel beach management does not provide any type of sea sport. As such, most tourist will go to Chawaeng Beach if they like sea sports.

Koh Samui Airport


Recently, I went to Thailand for a 2 weeks holiday. One of the detination is Koh Samui.
A very beautiful island.

When I arrived at the airport, then only I realised that this is a non-air conditioned airport. This is the arrival hall of the airport. We collected our bagagges here.






This is how they handle our bagagges, a simple truck brings our baggages to the arrival hall.













This photo was taken when I was about to leave Samui. We were sitting at the departure hall and the airplane we are going to take is landing at the airport.












This is the restaurant at the airport. We were thinking of trying the food of this restaurant, but due to time constraint, we finally didn't do that.











Before we get into the airplane, this is another airplane running at the runway which is going to take off.













I think this man is a policeman or soldier, he is walking around the airport with a wolf-dog.













This is the post-office at Samui Airport.














This photo was taken right before we get into this plane. This is a very small plane, there are about 50 seats only.











This is the control tower of the airport.













This photo is taken right infront of the boarding gate. We got to pay 300 Baths for each person. This is the only airport I ever been that provide freeflow of biscuits, tea and coffee.
