Le Bernadin


So here is one of the most expensive best restaurants in NYC - Le Bernadin by Eric Ripert. This is your one in a life time opportunity to have an orgasm a total blast from eating...I'm not kidding.. Three Micheline stars do not get awarded to anyone, but only to seven restaurants in New York, whereas the other six do not compare to the taste experience you will get here in Le Bernadin
( Daniel was a proper disappointment).
For complete extravaganza, first time visitors should order tasting menu with wine pairing. You will receive 7 or 8 courses including desert. Your wine will be served by one of the few best sommeliers out there. Trust me, you will get high somewhere towards the middle of your meal, by the end of it you will be happy and laughing, full but not heavy. You will leave completely empty pocketed satisfied and you will surely come back when you will have some extra bucks. You are most likely to meet here a starchitect, a famous businessman or just couples celebrating their birthdays, anniversaries etc.
Remember to have a proper attire, man should wear jackets.

P.S. it was very embarrassing to take pictures of food in a restaurant of this caliber, however after few glasses of wine, we didn't care much.  Lack of focus to be blamed on wine as well..

Koh Samui Airport


I think this is probably the cutest and the most pleasant airport I have ever been too..
The indoor area is not existant because of its open structure. It is handling more then million people a year , but somehow it preserves it quaint qualities.

Koh Samui- Names on a Brick


Fisherman's village is situated on Bophut beach and is one of the most preserved areas in Koh samui.
Serving in the past as a french outpost of the island the village shows off its old wooden shop houses, mixed with some modern architecture and beautiful ocean vistas in between them. Here you will find romantic dining nooks overlooking the water, boutique stores for jewelery and clothing, as well as traditional souvenirs and knock offs of famous brands.

Koh Samui- SALA

 
After indulging in Six Senses we decided to relocate to a less organic resort. Sala Samui was right on point.We were recommended this place by a lovely couple Linda & Spence that we met at Sala Phuket and indeed we were not disappointed. Beautiful resort grounds, comfortable rooms, exellent service and a honeymoon treat made our stay.

Koh Samui in One Day

One of the days on Koh Samui, we took a scooter and went to explore the island on our own. Being one of the biggest islands in Thailand, Koh Samui is much more natural in its character then Phuket and can be circumnavigated by car or bike in just couple of hours. We didn't have any particular plan, and went where ever the road would bring us :)
