Ko Samui Island, still in Thailand, was the ship's last stop before Singapore.
This was the only place that Wendy and I had not previously visited.
Wendy booked a ship's excursion that I had declined, deciding instead, to simply go ashore and look around. We had to tender in.
I was immediately assailed by numerous cab drivers offering a tour of the island. As I still had more Thai Baht than I wanted, but not as much as they were asking, I negotiated a price within my means (Baht 2000 about $80) to go all the way around, stopping at places as suggested by driver - marked on his map. A bit of sign language and bartering was required. Google maps, in conjunction with my phone, subsequently told me we travelled about 90 km.
Here are some of the highlights.

Here Shinto also has an influence - less-so, Christianity
