A picturesque sheltered bay, between Chaweng & Lamai Beaches. The granite rocks reminded me of Magnetic Island in Australia. There is a man walking out to the longtail anchored in the middle of the bay.

Hi Chris,
The transparency of the water is beautifully captured here and the rocks helped to emphasize this quality. I also love the variety and shades of blue. Great holiday atmosphere!! Syabas!! Regards.

Bonjour Chris,
une vue aux couleurs enchanteresses, des endroits de rêves pour nous, habitués aux tumultes des grandes villes et aux jours de pluie.
Un cadrage qui nous fait profiter tant de la plage, que du ciel et de la mer.
Compliments.
Daniel.

Hi Chris,
A beautiful virgin landscape, we cal feel how clear the water is there, especially looking around this man, he's lucky to have this place for himself !
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

I love the person and boat included, really scaling the grand landscape by the sea. Good scanning job keeping the colours inviting and fresh.

The man in the sea,the boat there,the colors of the sea with fading the colors in green to blue in depth(that is great),the sky and again the nice clouds all composed in agreat way,indeed strongly captured with excellent sharpness and I can look at it hours and hours,nicely done,Chris!
Best to You

Wow! I clicked on this because I saw the beautiful colours, and only when I saw the larger version did I see the boat and the man in the water. Usually I don't like to see the human presence in nature photos, but when I saw the man in the bay it really gave me a sense of what it might be like to be there, and instantly changed my thinking about the photo. Superb!

Salut Chris
Trés joli paysage, en plus avec le personnage et le bateau.
Very nice.

Bonsoir Chris
What a beautiful place this is.
Water so clear and green.
I like to look at the man and the boat,which gives an idea of the dimension of the beach,you must have been at a good distance unless you use a wide-angle
Charles

Hi Chris. Indeed a very picturesque place. This seems like the kind of place where everything goes slower. I love all of the blues and the clarity of the water. Beautiful shot Chris!

Hi Chris, The beautiful scene looks like a paradise. I like the beautiful colors you have in this picture. The shallow water with rocks makes a very nice contrast. The small green hill is well placed in this picture. The small boat and the person in the middle well decorated the paradise feeling of this place.

Hi Chris - another stunningly beautiful bay, the granite rocks and the clarity of the sea steal the show, but the man seeming to walk on water is a brillliant addition, ahh, less than 2 weeks before I get to Magnetic Island, I'm glad to read it's as beautiful as this Thai bay.

Hi Chris,gorgeous image ,wonderful shimmering sea,
Well done.
Dave.

1990! I am so afraid this bay is not quite as magnificent as the day you shot it. The presence of the boat and the man do add a lot to show the scale and grandeur of this landscape. No wonder one hears paradise and Thailand affixed together.

PS: I remember being in Koh samui, between Chaweng and lamai, and only one bungalow occupied during my stay...Mine! A long time ago....

Hi Chris
With winter approaching fast - it's cold in Switzerland today, this shot warms me up. I really like the details of the transparent water and the position of the boat and man which are pretty amazing. Nice clouds too.
Regards Nikki
