Read the full restaurant review here: but you can read more about this resort here: On Day 2 in Koh Samui (be sure to check out Day 1 if you havent already: ) we woke up after a great nights sleep at Santiburi Beach Resort. The first thing I did in the morning was take a morning swim - one of the best times to take a swim with the sun is not strong, the water is calm, and its peaceful and quiet. After a swim in the ocean at Mae Nam beach, we continued onto breakfast at the hotel. Breakfast was a buffet style, and it was pretty typically of any hotel buffet - including all the stations of different types of food. I went straight for the omelet, and loaded it with chilies and fish sauce. Breakfast was excellent. After finishing breakfast, we headed to Santiburi Country Club to take a quick tour of their golf course. The course is the only full course on Koh Samui, and its considered to be one of the most beautiful golf courses in Thailand. We drove around the course on a golf cart, stopping at some of the main holes to get a wonderful view of Koh Samui. Then it was time for lunch and this turned out to be one of the best lunches and probably the best meals I had in Koh Samui. Food in Koh Samui is sort of hard - there are many Thai restaurants that cater to tourists, and at those restaurant the food can be good, but it also might not be that good. It really depends. But in my opinion, one of the best ways to find the best restaurants in Koh Samui for local southern Thai food is to go to the roadside, or neighborhood local curry and rice restaurants, in Thai called Khao Gaeng. Recommended by some staff from our hotel, we headed over to Lan Saka ) for lunch. We arrived right at lunch time, so the restaurant was busy and unfortunately some of the dishes had already sold out. But they still have plenty of curry left, and so Ying and I ordered a nice selection of different southern Thai food to eat. We ended up ordering about 5 different dishes. The gaeng moo, pork curry, was curried in a thick and rich coconut milk curry and the curry paste flavor was vibrant. We also ordered a chicken curry which was equally as good. All the other dishes were also excellent, and it really was probably the best Thai meal I had in Koh Samui. After lunch at Lan Saka ) restaurant, we headed back to Santiburi and just hung around all afternoon enjoying the beautiful atmosphere and transferring to different lounge positions. It was an excellent day in Koh Samui. That completes Day 2 of our short trip to Koh Samui

I, too, have some great local food here near Louisville, Kentucky. I start out for breakfast at Burger King with an egg and cheese croissant. The cheese is fake and made mostly of Genetically Modified canola oil. The croissant is made from frozen dough and if you squeeze it in your hand, it is reduced to the size of a small marble (i. e, mostly air. Later for lunch I sit down to a filling meal of a McDonald's Big Mac, made from the enticing pink slime hamburger meat that contains enough amonia to insure me that I won't suffer from intestinal parasites for the rest of my life. I wash it down with a 5-thousand ounce Dr. Pepper in a cup big enough to swim in and that is guaranteed to keep me up peeing all night long for the next 3 nights. Then for dessert I select the ever popular Strawberry Shake. It is not called a milk shake because there is not a hint of milk in this concoction that is 80% infused air. Oh Mark, how I wish I could join you on one of your food journeys.

I've lived on Samui for close to 20 years (in the Maenam area, and although it has changed a heck of a lot - particularly over the last 10 years or so - I couldn't live anywhere else now It isn't 'perfect' by any means, but it is a hell of a lot closer to it than pretty much every where else I have been lol. Great vids mate
