Tamu Beach Resort – Otres 2, Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Posted on Jun 27, 2016 in Accommodation, Places

We’ve been looking forward to experiencing Sihanoukville for some time and after loads of research, I’m confident that we chose our base well. The transfer from Phnom Penh (arranged by Tamu) was approximately 3 hours for us. With trucks, tractors, motorbikes and livestock using the same road, it’s an interesting drive.

Crystal Bay Beach – Koh Samui, Thailand

Posted on Jun 18, 2016 in Places

Our quest for a healthy breakfast took an unexpected turn this morning when we checked out this little gem. We’ve driven past for years and never stopped but I’m glad we finally did. The beach is between Chaweng and Lamai. The sand was not as soft as Chaweng but I wouldn’t say it was harsh. Scattered palm trees provide plenty of shade if required. The water is clear, with a very gentle wave and not a lot of weed around. We visited in the morning and it was definitely not crowded but getting busier when we left. Access is via Crystal Bay Yacht Club and I would definitely consider stopping in to their restaurant for lunch or a drink if it was later in the day. Will definitely go again.

French Bakery – Bangrak, Koh Samui, Thailand

Posted on Jul 2, 2014 in Places, Restaurants

We were shocked to see that our favourite French bakery was a burnt out mess when we returned in June however, when driving back towards Choeng Mon, we spotted some baguettes and pulled over thinking they might be an ok substitute – they were not a substitute, they’re the real thing!
