Koh Samui Thailand. Travel Tips And Top Things To See and Do

…ace that we stayed was very beautiful. We stayed at a place called Tongsai Bay, which are small villas dotted all over a hill running down to the beach. There are many similar developments across the island. But once you venture out of your development, you are – once you go into the centers – in a somewhat tatty tourist nightmare.

There are surprisingly few options on places to eat in the hotel but the breakfast and lunch buffets were especially generous and good.

The views across Frigate bay, a natural harbor were amazing a…

…that many had to endure. You can ride right up high to Capri and view the Bay of Naples and right across to the Pompeii Volcano Mountain. It is a busy place, though when I was there it was not as was at the start of the season. It is really incredibly beautiful. The video tour I made tries to capture the beauty of the island and the views across the bay to the Italian Mainland. See all my photos of the stunning Island of Capri: click here Gary Be…

Las Vegas Luxury Hotels – Four Seasons

…gh it is at the end of the Strip, there is a tram that runs from Manadalay Bay to Luxor and Excalibur. There is only valet parking at the hotel, but you can use the self parking at Mandalay Bay which is free. The Four Seasons Las Vegas was revamped and the rooms updated and so although you can read my previous reviews, which describe the service, the pool and more, watch the video here to see the updated look of the hotel rooms. This is a strip vi…
