Memories of Thailand (page 2 of 6)

All good here!

Koh Samui indeed—about the name of the beach, I don’t want to spoil the fun of searching and finding it yourself.

enjoy your meal! 😉

The 11, the 51, the 54, etc.... I took so many buses in BKK!

😉

Vacation vibes are in the air!

for sure, it's nice to share a few snapshots, thanks! :)

so, let's think😉, maybe Lamai?

Indeed, Lamai in 1976

Were you in Koh Samui in '76?

so many changes in 44 years

if you have any other photos of Ko Samui (or anywhere else in Thailand) from that time and you'd like to share them with us, that would be awesome 😉

Tell me about it! Two huts serving as bungalows back in 1976 (Lamai), then more bungalows followed until the '80s, and then the airport came along... After my first trip in 1976, while working in Thailand, I kept going back now and then until 1985. Bo Phut Beach in 1979:

Thanks for this little trip down memory lane—any photos of Bangkok from back then too?

Hi there,

If you have any other photos of Ko Samui (or elsewhere in Thailand) from that time and you'd like to share them with us, that would be awesome ;)

I have photos of deserted beaches: Kata, Karun, Rawai, and others in Phuket from 1983 with no restaurants, hotels, bars, guesthouses—nothing at all😎. I’ve never been back, but I’ve looked at photos online... things have changed a bit😠. If you’d like, I can show you a few. Thanks for the photos—right now, we’re not traveling much on this forum

Lamai nowadays







and Bo Phut

It's okay. It's not the French Riviera.

No, it's clear, there's plenty of room🙂

Old photos of Thailand:

I was there too in May '76 for 15 days in a little bamboo and thatch bungalow on a small hill. I think it was Lamai, not sure. There must have been 4 or 5 of them scattered around. After that, we took a bus to Phuket at Patong where there weren’t any bungalows—just two grocery-restaurant places on the whole beach. One of the few surviving photos from Samui on that trip
