Maybe I’ll try a Photo of the Day series. This should last me for the next couple of centuries 🙂 Anyway, today’s photo is an oldie, from 1976 – or was it 1977? It’s the only one I’ve got (I think) of Chaweng Beach on Koh Samui, an island off the east coast of Thailand. This was on a visit while traveling with my sister Julia.
We heard about Koh Samui along the way – it hadn’t even made it into the first edition of South East Asia on a Shoestring that was our guide. We stayed at the only accommodation on Chaweng Beach, First Bungalows – there were maybe 6 bungalows, and a roofed restaurant.The photo is scanned from a transparency taken on my new Pentax ME, back in the olden days of real film and SLRs.
The morning I took the photo I’d have had the beach to myself. Wyn and I revisited Chaweng Beach last year on our travels in South East Asia. I’ll have to find a new photo to show the difference. Meanwhile, back in 1977 …
