Enchanting: A stunning view from the writer’s room at the Intercontinental Samui hotel.
A former backpacker lives it up in luxury at Thailand’s Ko Samui.
I HAD heard stories that Ko Samui in Thailand had become “over commercialised” since I last went there as a backpacker over 20 years ago. Indeed, after disembarking from my Bangkok Airways flight from Kuala Lumpur, I encounter lots of hubbub around Chaweng beach near the island’s airport.
