The first night in Koh Samui I went bar hoping in Chaweng which is the preferred beach if you want to go out at night. And, contrary to former visits, the gay night life has increased tremendously on Koh Samui.

Rhetorically we asked last week: Where is the meat on gay Koh Samui? Well, we found it at long standing “Chez Andy” Restaurant in centrally located Chaweng beach Road not far from most major gay places of Koh Samui.

The calm clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand is an ideal location for people who want to experience scuba diving for the first time as well as having plenty to offer the experienced diver.

Koh Samui was always more for backpackers, families and straight couples than for flamboyant queens like thee and me plus their at least as flamboyant entourage and this is still so today."
