Location
Koh Samui | Thailand
Wandering through Baan Sijan, past hallway sentinals of ancient Siamese urns and wall sculptures, astounding beauty of every creation greets you.
Past the babbling pool through the old wooden gates into the garden of this other Eden. Spot a thousand flowers, plants and butterflies in a myriad of colour as they embrace even the well travelled, who has seen most and yet, another world awaits.
Ah ha you say, another copywriter with a vivid imagination, but no, here you need no imagination, just to keep your senses awake to the sights, sounds and smells. An artists inspiration, or was it the nights champagne? Come and find out for yourself...
The Beach - A 15 minute stroll
A wonderful fifteen minute stroll through the old banana and coconut plantations the silver sand beaches and cobalt blue waters of the Gulf of Siam await. Surely amongst the safest waters in the world. No surf unfortunately for the sun blonde rip riders.
Restaurants & Cafes - In abundance
Stretched along this endless coastline, almost tight to each other, cafes and restaurants abound with the welcoming smiles of the local people only too ready and willing to serve up temptingly fresh seafood from the days catch. We'll gladly give you a lift to the summit up the steep hills to the picturesque hideaways of the mountains. Here you dine with the jungle as a canopy, the flora and fauna as windows opening to the lush landscape of the hillsides, valleys, the archipelago and the Gulf of the South China Sea.
Razz a Matazz - 25 minutes drive
The razz a matazz of the Chaweng nightlife, turn right and a twenty five minute drive by scooter or car. For Lamai, same thing but turn left. Close enough for a try but far enough to retain some semblance of peace and quite. Well worth a visit, just so you can tell the folks back home.
Golfing on Koh Samui - 20 minutes drive
For the ever increasing throng of would be Tiger's amongst you, The Samui Golf Club just a 20 minute drive (not off the tee) by car awaits. Bookings can be made through Baan Sijan.
The Island Capital, Nathon - 15 minutes walk
The old Chinese heritage capital of Samui, Ban Nathon another leisurely stroll just fifteen minutes to the old shopping markets teeming with the day's fresh catch, vegetables and locally grown fruit. Sunsets silhouette the fishermen and their boats framing them in every imaginable colour. The lights sparkling in the darkening dusk reflect the head lamps worn to attract the night fish and crustaceans. Bending fishermen and women, the only movement plucking the nights harvest amongst the shallow warm water, ready for the evenings culinary temptations.
Waterwalls - 10 minutes drive or the hike
For the adventurous amongst you a one hour hike over the hillside behind Baan Sijan will lead you to a world of waterfalls untouched by the contemporary. Bring some hiking boots if you enjoy walking adventures.
Elephant Trekking - 15 minutes drive
Coming to Samui without trekking with the most elegant and gentle of all beasts the Thai elephants will leave you wanting and disappointed. Have no fear of these giants, they are warm and loving. Their treat for you, an expedition through the streams, woods and waterfalls of ancient flora and fauna that is Samui.
The Airport - 25 minutes drive
Samui airport, arguably one of the worlds most beautiful is a mere twenty five minutes by car. One could make a case for visiting just on the strength of the airport.
Fabulous spa treatments, stylish lounge bar, evening entertainment and a cooling pool, well that's what Baan Sijan has the very best of. And you haven't far to go home either have you?
