<p>After that, a slow drive back to Hotel. The road in Koh Samui is small the a lot of development by the road side, the comfortable driving speed is about 50KM per hour. There are currently a lot of resort development in Koh Samui and the price is not cheap as well. I glance through a local property publication, a studio in a resort cost about 12 Million Baht, that is about RM1.2Million.</p>
<p>More pool, beach and massage activities.</p>
<p>Dinner by the Chaweng beach.</p>
