swimisfun: KOH SAMUI

Charm Churee Villa was the best choice for us..

After spent 3days ONE DAY TRIP ( Angthong national marine park, koh phangan, and koh tao) and also spent one full day and night at nangyuan island. Time to cool down in Charm Churee Villa.

We had a free ride ( boat ) from nangyuan to sairee beach, at koh tao pier. The main pier in Koh Tao's name. It was a service from Nangyuan island resort. As we had spent one night on them.

Unfortunately, we had a bad weather, euy.. HIGH and BIG WAVE.. so dizzy.. My 1st sea sick.
From Nangyuan to koh tao pier took 40-45 minutes more. (usually 15mins)
Because its hard to managed to the boat to get closer to the island/pier. You can see the wave sometimes higher than you.
As we dizzy, also got extra dizzy to see how the boat struggle super hard and slow.
Not easy to drive the boat to the left side of island than to drive forward.

Well, Koh Tao is a small island.
After arrived at the pier, we took tuktuk to our hotel. very near, only 10 -15 minutes.
Charm Churee was located on Jamson Bay (private beach). Just a small beach, but was more than enough.
Coffee, coconut, and of course we can snorkling on the beach (next morning).
Because of the big waves, we can only swam beside the beach.
We snorkling and swim alots at the next morning. A lots of fishes.

So, we were welcomed by the friendly and kindly staf ( female). And took our belongings to our hotel.
Nice view every where. from our room, the beach, the lobby, the restaurant.

Note : If You brought kids or parents / old man, please took care of them. because the walk from one place to others, use stairs and uphill/ downhill.

After chills at the beach, we took a walk to the next beach.. 15 mins walk, great beaches and views.
Wow.. Koh tao is the best island ever! Of course the small Nangyuan also :p
