Spend 5 Days & 4 Nights over at Koh Samui staying at Chaba Cabana Beach Resort and had such a wonderful time!!
Got in Samui Island on Bangkok Airways and they only have one 8 pm evening in-flight from Singapore... if only they have a morning flight then we wouldn't need to "waste" a precious day as it was already about 10pm when we reach our resort.
The resort was about 15 mins from the Samui Airport and the setting was Afro. Our Room 230 was on the 3rd floor and thankfully the porter helped with our luggage (getting our luggage down when we checkout need a bit of workout :P).
We were pleasantly surprised by two little towel elephants on our bed welcoming us and we spend quite a fair bit of time snapping their pics & appreciating them!
The room was big, clean and have a small cozy balcony. There was even a hanging rack for wet clothing by the side of the balcony, a very simple yet thoughful inclusion.
The bathroom is clean and spacious with a bath tub. A 40" LCD Samsung TV with the usual cable channels like Discovery, MTV etc provides ample entertainment in-room.
The next day we woke early to have our breakfast and to check out the resort and of course... the BEACH!!
I miss the beach...! The water's clear, the sand's fine and Chaweng North beach stretches very far out at knee depth on low tide! You can walk out 100m and the water will still be just ankle deep!
We went out and just laid there on the shallow waters enjoying the sun... with small fishes swimming around us! Will definately go back again if $$$ and time permits and you should too...!
And here's a panorama of Chaweng North Beach taken outside Chaba Cabana Beach Resort that consist of 35 frames stitched together by the Autostitch software (Demo version).
It's a damn good software for panorama as it does everything automatically for you and the stitching is flawless!
Should you find any flaw in this panorama, I take it as my OWN poor photography skill - the software is really damn good! Now i'm very very tempted to purchase the full licensed AutoPano Giga!!
