If you would like to make a rough ride over the mountains, see a spectacular view and swim in clean, calm and shallow water - you need to head southwest to one of the last unspoiled beaches.
I can only describe the way. I cant take you there myself. Last exit from Lamai heading south. Check the odometer. After 3,4km, turn left towards Ban Tong Khrut. From this intersection follow the road straight for 10,3km to the crossroads at Snake farm. Buy some cold drinks and stack up with food at the Family Mart on the left. Where you are going - there are nobody selling icecream, massages or food:) After resupplying, continue straight ahead 800 yards, keep to the right(straight) in this roadsplit(where the road turns left). After about 300 yards the road will turn into a red dirt road. Bravo - you found it. Now only 2 hard km to go over the mountain, but well worth it. (You may want to park your scooters under the big tree on the left 100 yards after the top and walk last 5 minutes). Watch out for snakes taking sunbath on this lonely road - we saw many:) If you are not able to go over the mountain, you can cheat(and lose the magnificent view) and turn to the left 50 yards before the red dirt road. Go as far as possible, walk down to the beach and follow it northwest.
Have fun and enjoy. The owner (of the mountain) said he will never sell - he wants to keep one paradise in Samui. Big thanks to him:) Let me know what you think!
