Ko Samui

Ko Samui is an island off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus, Thailand.  Tourists are attracted to its beaches and resorts.  Since we are not beach people we visited a lot of new and old temples.  Our guide took us to a non-tourist restaurant for a lunch of fish and rice dishes which were fantastic.
