Samui Island Photos From The Mountains - Carl Zeiss 16-35mm f2.8 ZA

Samui Island is just one of those places I never seem tired of visiting. As soon as you set foot on the island you can just feel the laid back vibe taking you over. The island itself is just the right size, large enough to offer plenty of beaches but small enough so that you can easily get around. The other great thing about Samui is the diversity of the people that call it home. Apart from the local Thai population you will find plenty of Europeans, Americans, Russians and many more, each of them bringing with them their own cultures...and more importantly FOOD. Honestly, I have had some of the best burgers, pizzas and spaghetti in restaurants here opened by expatriates who came over to settle.

If you are wondering whether the photo above was taken from the balcony of my super deluxe villa, no the place is not a hotel or a rentla villa but a house, and no it's not mine. I was lucky enough however, to be able to wander around and take some photos.

I love going to the beach and love being right by the sea, but having seen this place I must admit being on the mountain is not so bad either, well with views like this how could it not be :).

Before if someone had asked me if I can have a place on Samui, would it be on the beach or on the mountain? I would have said on the beach without hesitation, but now I don't think I can actually choose...can I have both?

So in keeping with that train of thought, I will be posting pictures from a higher and probably less seen perspective of Samui Island in this post.
