The Private Ownership of American Timberland and Its Menace Scientific American: Standing timber i* necessarily the source of our future lumber supply. It is but natural that thinking persons view with a- larm its concentration, i ot onlv in private hands, but in a few private hands. A report prepared bv the Bureau of of the Department of Commerce and L.ibor and [.issued in February of thi-* year deals at length with the tremendous increase in the value of the standing timber in all parts of the country as well as with the extent to which, in a few vears, its ownership has gradually narrowed. While fortv years a- go at least three-fourths of the timber now standing was publicly owned, it is said that now four-fifths of it is privately owned. To quote the report: "Examples of the increase during this interval arc: From S5 to $30 an acre, $7 to $40, !_2>> to $50. $1 to $13, $4 to SI40, SI to S1S0. Specific tracts have been t>o\d first for $24,000, and later for $153,000;S10,000, and later S124 000; $240,000, and later $2,500,000; $23,000, and latfer $500,000; $19,000, and later $1,125,000.These ex amples illustrate the remark able profit made by certain individual holders. "What did the Government get for tiie timber? Of the southern pine, sold for $1.?5 an acre, much is now worth $60 an acre. Large amounts of ""Douglas fir in western Washington and Oregon, which the Government gave a- wav or sold at $2 50 an acre, now bring from $100 to $200 per acre. The great redwood belt in California was alienated on similar terms, and some of it is now worth hundreds of dollars an acre.Prac- ticallv none of the great forests in the public-land states was sold bv the Government for more than $2.50 an acre. The great increase of value gives grave importance to the concentration of ownership The report leads us to think that five- elevenths of the country's privately owned timber is in the Pacific-Northwest (California. Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana), one-half of'which is now controlled by thirty-seven holders, many of whom are closely connected and the three largest of whom alone own nearly one-fourth. As to the largest holder the Government report savs: "The Southern Pacific Company holding is the greatest in the United States—106 billion feet. This is about 6 per cent ofthe private timber in the investigation area, and 10 per cent of that in the Pacific- Northwest. It is difficult to give an adequate idea of its immensity. It stretches practically 680 miles along that railroad between Portlandand Sacramento. The fastest train over this distance takes 31 hours. During all that time the traveler thereon is passing through lands a large proportion of which for 30 miles on each side belongs to the railroad, and in almost the entire strip this corporation is the dominating*owner of both timber and land. ... A very significant fact in connection with the enormous holding is that the Southern Pacific Co. is not selling its timber, but is holding this valuable supply, evidently in the confident hope of a further great advance of price." Concerning the second and third largest holdings, the Government report hasthisto say: "The holding of the Wever- hauser Timber Company (indirectly owned 1 subsidiary concerns) is the "Continued on Page 8.

It's Not too Late to Winterize Homes
Local home repair expert shares tips for keeping your home cozy.
If this year's glorious fall weather left you lagging behind in preparing your home for the current sub-zero chill, not to worry! There are still many steps homeowners can take to ward off the winter weather and keep their homes well maintained, according to home repair specialist Bob Nettesheim, owner of RGN Inc. in Libertyville.
Simple Fixes
Nettesheim says that homeowners can begin with simple fixes, such as making sure all storm windows are closed and installing new weather stripping around doors that are leaking air. Also, ceiling fans should be running in reverse (for most fans this is in a clockwise direction), to push heated air down so it circulates throughout a room.
He recommends changing furnace filters every six weeks during the winter to cut down on dust in the home and also to help the furnace function more efficiently. He suggests writing the date of the change right on the filter so it's easy to know when a new filter is needed.
Leaky windows can make heating ineffective and create chilly rooms. To determine exactly where leaks are, Nettesheim suggests holding a lighted incense stick or candle around window frames. The smoke or flame will blow horizontally in areas that need sealing.
Leaky frames are best re-caulked or re-insulated in the spring, but in the meantime, homeowners can install window sealing kits that shrink wrap plastic to windows using heat from a hair dryer. Though not necessarily the most attractive fix, Nettesheim says these kits are effective in keeping cold air out.
Air often seeps in around light switches and electrical outlets. An easy fix is to remove the faceplates and install foam insulation behind them. Pre-cut foam gaskets are available at home improvement and hardware stores.
Seal Out Cold Air
Cold air intrusion into the home in less obvious areas is a major source of heat loss and corresponding high heating bills, according to Nettesheim.
"I find that there are always gaps in homes through which cold air can enter," Nettesheim explains. "A few areas to inspect are where hoses, wires and pipes pass through the outside wall of the home."
The hose that leads to the air conditioning unit outside is one place where cold air often enters the home.
"If you can see light outside from the basement where the A/C pipe passes through the wall, you will need to seal it," Nettesheim said.
Other areas to inspect include the sites where electrical wires, sump pump pipes, cable wires, dryer vents and furnace exhaust pipes pass through outside walls, according to Nettesheim.
He also points out that exhaust from newer high efficiency furnaces now exits through the wall instead of up the chimney, so this is another area to check for cold air entry.
Expandable foam is a good way to seal these gaps and is available at most home improvement centers.
"Not only will sealing these gaps help keep your home warmer, it also can keep out unwanted critters, such as mice," says Nettesheim.
Another area where air intrusion is common is the top of the concrete basement wall, where the foundation meets the house.
"The concrete wall can have chips or dips that the 2x4 wall plate does not seal," says Nettesheim.
Homeowners can check for air intrusion in these areas by placing a hand in-between floor joists above the concrete wall.
"If you feel cold air, look for the source of entry. Expandable foam can seal these gaps very well and it also can help to put insulation between the joists," he adds.
Stop the Damming Ice
Ice damming on the roof is a major concern in the winter, according to Nettesheim. The condition is caused when the attic is too warm and melts snow on the roof. The melted snow runs down the roof and freezes as it reaches the gutters. The buildup of ice can sometimes cause water to leak under the shingles, enter the home and leave water spots on ceilings and walls.
While Nettesheim says that some minor ice damming is normal, these minor ice formations can be resolved by filling a nylon stocking with salt (the type used on the driveways and sidewalks to melt ice) and tossing the stocking up on the roof, with the end hanging down over the gutter. This creates a channel for the melted ice to flow into the gutters; however, Nettesheim says, it is only a temporary fix.
He points out that one indication of an ice damming problem is the formation of icicles from gutters on a cold winter day, when there should be no melting snow. Another warning sign, is if the neighbors' rooftops are full of snow, but the homeowner's rooftop has no snow.
"The attic should be nearly the same temperature as outside," Nettesheim says.
Attic spaces are often too warm for several reasons: some older homes have bathroom fans venting into the attic; the roof vents may be clogged; there may not be enough air circulation in the attic; or there simply may not be enough insulation in the attic.
"If you can see the ceiling joists in the attic floor, there is not enough insulation," Nettesheim says.
Libertyville resident Bob Nettesheim is the owner of RGN Inc., a home repair business.

We found that low-e window films really helped lower our winter heating bill. We installed low-e window films that we bought from a company called SnapTint and installed them ourselves last winter. We noticed the difference right away. Our rooms stayed warmer and our heating bill was significantly reduced. The window films work by reflecting the radiant heat back into the room instead of letting it go straight out the window. The films also qualified for a federal tax credit. Check out SnapTint's website at snaptint.com for more information if your are interested.

Wordpress services/products
I need some help being pointed in the right direction with WordPress. I have a client who needs a site. It is not an e-commerce website but it will still advertise his his services/products that he offers for his customers. This is the only example I could find of the kind of thing he is going for (Link).
Is there any plugin I can use that can give me the flexibility so that my client can easily add / modify these services. It also would need some kind of offer functionality similar to the example so he can advertise his latest offers ect.
Thanks in advanced,

Wordpress should make this possible: You can use blog posts/categories to sort the types of products, and each blog post (product) has its own featured image. You can also make some custom fields to carry stats such as item number, price, color etc; while the regular blog content has the description.
Once again, latest offers or sales can also be categorized blogs; a loop on the home page file can call for the latest one so that it auto-updates.
As you may have noticed by the nature of this question, I am relatively new to Wordpress but thank you for pointing me in the right direction :)
I wouldn't use blog posts as @sloveland suggested. This seems like it's best suited for custom post types, fields and possibly taxonomies.
Custom post types as @chrisburton says or you could use something like WooCommerce in catalog mode.
Since you're new to wordpress, I think its okay to use the existing post format and use categories for each section.

2012 marks the centenary of the death of the surgeon, author and mountaineer, Clinton Thomas Dent (1850-1912). Dent's medical career included serving as Chief Surgeon to the Metropolitan Police and Consulting Surgeon at the Belgrave Hospital for Children. His writings include studies of post-surgical insanity and heart surgery, and an account of the wounded in the Transvaal War, to which he had been posted as a correspondent for the British Medical Journal. Dent was also one of the most prominent British climbers who attempted the few remaining unclimbed mountains in the Alps. He served as President of the Alpine Club from 1886 to 1889, and may have been the first person to have written in 1885 that an ascent of Mount Everest was possible. In 1897 Dent gave the RSA's Christmas Juvenile lecture on 'The Growth and Demolition of Mountains'. There is a memorial tablet to him on the Britannia Hut above Saas-Fee in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
2012 marks the fifteenth anniversary of the opening of the reconstructed Shakespeare's Globe theatre on the south bank of the River Thames. In 1988 the American actor and director, Sam Wanamaker, came to the RSA to tell Fellows the significance behind his project to rebuild the Globe as close to its original site as possible. The following year the RSA awarded Wanamaker its Benjamin Franklin medal for his 'outstanding energy, dedication and vision over nearly twenty years in pursing the objective of establishing …a reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and associated study centre'.

Queen Victoria's Journals
In this year of her Diamond Jubilee HM Queen Elizabeth II has made available on-line the complete collection of Queen Victoria's journals from the Royal Archives. Dating from Victoria's childhood to her own Diamond Jubilee these thirteen volumes are written in her own hand. The Queen has expressed the hope that this historic collection will make a valuable addition to the unique material already held by the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford University and will be used to enhance our own knowledge and understanding of the past'. http://www.queenvictoriasjournals.org/
In April this year the noted craftsman, designer, educator, former POW and FRSA Lawrence G. Copeland died at the age of 89. Copeland interacted with some of the most important personalities of the mid-century American crafts movement, and contributed to several of the most prominent craft institutions and enterprises. A silversmith, who had studied with the Court Silversmith to His Majesty the King of Sweden, Copeland, his work in silver and pewter was selected for the initial 'Craftsmanship in a Changing World' exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts (now the Museum of Arts & Design). His work was also exhibited in the United States Pavilion at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels and his pieces are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution

Federal agents working on the border seized more than 1,700 pounds of drugs over the weekend and arrested five people, including a man from Mexico who offered information on a slaying in Chihuahua.
In El Paso, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested a 30-year-old Chihuahua man Monday after they discovered more than 400 pounds of marijuana in the man's pickup, officials said.
Julio César Portillo López, of Chihuahua City, was driving a pickup into the U.S. at the Paso del Norte bridge about 5:30 p.m. Monday, customs officials said.
Customs officers searched the truck and discovered "a number of anomalies" during the search and their interview with Portillo López. A drug-sniffing dog alerted officers to the truck's undercarriage, and a density meter also gave officers high readings "consistent with concealed contraband," officials said.
Officers allegedly found 258 marijuana-filled bundles hidden in the truck's bed and cabin. The bundles weighed a total of 437 pounds.
Portillo López is being held at the El Paso County Jail without bond.
Agents at the immigration checkpoint on U.S. 54 near Alamogordo on Friday seized 112 pounds of marijuana that had been hidden inside the gas tank of a sport utility vehicle.
The vehicle's driver, Oscar Rafael Chavez, 32, was taken into custody and turned over to agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
On Saturday, agents working another checkpoint on Highway 70 near
The women also were turned over to DEA agents.
Officials said agents assigned to the Lordsburg Station in the Bootheel of New Mexico found a dozen backpacks filled with a total of 633 pounds of marijuana. Agents searched the area but were unable to find any smugglers or additional drugs.
U.S. Border Patrol agents on Friday in Clint arrested José Alonso Nevarez Luján, 55, of Mexico for being in the U.S. illegally. During a check of his criminal record, agents discovered Nevarez Luján had an "extensive immigration and criminal history" that included a cocaine conviction in Denver, officials said Monday.
Officials said during his interview with agents, Nevarez Luján volunteered information on a slaying in Peña Blanca, Chihuahua, Mexico. Officials didn't release additional information on the slaying but said the Border Patrol's International Liaison Unit in El Paso is "coordinating with Mexican authorities to clarify this case."
Nevarez Luján was booked into the El Paso County Jail and is awaiting criminal and immigration proceedings.

I really enjoy this thread!
I have one one legged, ancient canary, and five busy little finches, and I will add cuckoo clock with the birds!
I have six of my own dogs and am fostering another one. I have a standard, very old poodle, Pekingese, small poodle mix, border collie/ aussie mix, collie mix, and foster failure, I guess she is BC mix. I would like to do therapy work with her. I am also fostering a dog that has some issues, I guess he is BC mix. I actually foster for BC rescue. I esp. like working with puppies. This foster dog though, I just don't see the BC. Yes, he is black and white, but the disposition is just not the same as typical BCs. He is really coming around though, and is becoming nice companion.
I also have eight cats, they are characters too. Five of the cats are strictly indoors.
Almost all of my cats and dogs came from high kill shelters ( I drove all the way to KY from VA to adopt Bonnie, the BC/Aussie mix), or my local animal control where I used to volunteer, or rescues in my area.
I was fostering beautiful PB BC that had some medical issues for almost two years. She really was my best helping buddy, I spent so much time with her, and although I loved her dearly, I was so happy that she just found a new home of her own two weeks ago. I really do miss her though, and the dynamics with the others is changing now.
They keep me busy! I love them all. They are challenging as they all have some quirky ways or medical issues.
Except the cuckoo clock, all I have to remember to do is pull the chains daily.
Needless to say, I have to spend a while taking out and putting away my crochet things each time I use them.

For the last few years, I've enjoyed reading the posts of several bloggers who are trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks. I've also wanted to find a good way for me to keep track of the books I've read. And it gives me a good reading target to shoot for.
Last year, I read 56 books.
I'm doing the same thing in 2013. My approach is the same in previous years – I'll simply update this post from time to time throughout the year as I finish books.
I've enjoyed doing this challenge every year and hope you find the list useful. And I encourage you to take the challenge yourself.
As Bill Taylor says, "Are you learning as fast as the world is changing?" Challenging yourself to read 52 books is probably a good way to start to answer that question.

Category: Children's Books Format: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 48 pages, 45 color illustrations, cloth Release Date: 2006-08-15 ISBN: 978-0-87328-216-1 Price: $14.95 About this Book Kate Greenaway (1846–1901) was one of the most popular British book illustrators of the Victorian era. A contemporary of Randolph Caldecott and Walter Crane, she attracted a wide audience in the United States and England, and many of her books were printed in German and French editions as well.One of Greenaway's early successes was Mother Goose, or the Old Nursery Rhymes, first published in 1881. Her enchanting watercolors of children wearing clothing from an earlier age and frolicking in the countryside evoked the Victorian reader's sense of nostalgia for the rural life of eighteenth-century England, and echoed Greenaway's own longing to retreat from the industrial, urban setting of her native London.This new edition of Kate Greenaway's Mother Goose reproduces illustrations from the rare 1881 edition in the Huntington Library's collections. The Huntington owns an extensive collection of books illustrated by Greenaway, several of her manuscripts, and nearly one hundred of her original drawings. Notes: Review of Kate Greenaway's Mother Goose:
"Kate Greenaway is an iconic example of the gentle women's art of yesteryear… From 'Little Tom Tucker, / He sang for his supper' wearing a frilly white collar and spats, to 'Polly put the kettle on, we'll all have tea' in a cozy Victorian dining room, these quaint illustrations and classic English nursery rhymes will evoke nostalgia in the most hardened reader." – ForeWord

With the reigning Daily Times Player of the Year not playing because of a shoulder injury suffered against Del Val League rival Penn Wood Tuesday, the Clippers couldn't overcome Wisconsin power Brookfield Central in a 64-56 loss at the Brandon Jennings Invitational in Milwaukee (Wisc.).
Conrad Chambers paced Chester (9-3) with 13 points and a trio of assists, while Richard Granberry paired seven rebounds with his 11 points, but the Clippers had their five-game winning streak snapped despite 12 points from Rashan DeJarnette.
The Haverford School 78, Prep Charter 50
Sean Lloyd celebrated his temporary return to the lineup with 22 points, six rebounds and three assists, Shawn Alston paired six assists with four rebounds and 14 points and Eric Anderson dumped in 14 points to send the Fords (12-3) to their third straight win.
Derek Mountain chipped in 11 points and four rebounds.
Ridley 47, Downingtown West 38
Kenny Bartow paced a balanced Green Raiders (12-1) offense with his 14 points, while Jon McGill (10 points) and Julian Wing (eight points) combined for 14 of Ridley's 16 second-quarter points as the Green Raiders racked up their 11th straight victory.
Zain Shaw dumped in nine points.
Penncrest 71, Collegium Charter 44 Continued...
Rahmi Halaby got the Lions (11-3) off to a hot start with seven of his 13 points in the opening quarter and finished with eight rebounds, too, while Eddie Baxter drained four 3-pointers as part of his 12-point night and Nolan Carroll made three 3-pointers to help Penncrest seal its rout.
Harriton 54, Delco Christian 41
Austin Fischer paced the Knights (8-3) with 13 points and Jerome Staley dumped in 11 points, but DC couldn't overcome Rams star Matt Sherman, who eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career with his 20-point outburst.
Phoenixville 55, Academy Park 53
The Knights (4-7) had a chance to win it late, but the Phantoms' C.J. Lindsay knocked down a pair of free throws with 1.7 seconds to go to seal Phoenixville's win.
Jawan Collins led the Knights with six points, seven assists, six steals and six rebounds, while Brian Ingram scored a game-high 19 points and Travis Smith chipped in eight points.
Central League
Lower Merion 73, Strath Haven 43
It was obvious early which team had played less than 24 hours earlier as the Aces jumped out to a 41-22 halftime lead and never looked back in trumping the Panthers (8-5, 5-4). Eric Trowery led the Haven charge with 13 points and Mike Fisher dumped in eight points, while John Fender corralled six rebounds and dished out four assists.

Letter | Incorporation forum a failure
January 24, 2013 · Updated 10:46 AM
I had concerns of the potential for bias at the public forum sponsored by the CK Council and the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce on incorporation.
Well, now that it is over, I have to say that I am sad that my concerns were merited. The cities represented all favored incorporation and no voice was heard to present a counter argument. As a matter of fact, the cities chosen and the counties they were located in did not reflect the reality of Silverdale in the least.
I was truly upset at the county bashing that went on. Those representatives may not have liked their county government but I like mine.
All of the cities represented were in areas that the county was encouraging to incorporate or be annexed because they were in King County and Pierce County Urban Sprawl and were not receiving adequate county support.
I cannot believe that the CK Council actually thought this was a fair expression of the pros and cons of incorporation. How about at least a representative from a group that rejected incorporation or even Bainbridge to talk about the problems that they are facing. At least Bainbridge is in our county.
The demographics were different and the political situations were different from those facing Silverdale and Kitsap County. To top it off, all of the people on the forum were elected officials — what are they supposed to do, bad mouth their respective cities? So much for re-election.
I must say that the chamber and the Council were very good dupes for the Citizens United for Silverdale committee. Too bad that their efforts weren't aimed at providing a broad spectrum of information on incorporation for the citizens.
I do not know who chose the cities or the people to be presenting, but as far as I am concerned they have done a disservice to the people. Credibility is important and the sponsoring groups lost some of theirs.
It was not an informational meeting but one of propaganda, and I left the meeting feeling ambushed.

Bing Crosby crooning the holiday classic, I'll Be Home for Christmas, is a tune echoed through many a home this time of year. First released around Christmas in 1943, the song is written from the perspective of a soldier serving over seas during World War 2. While the melody is one that lingers in our minds, the meaning of the song is actually quite somber as the closing line reveals that being home for Christmas isn't quite a reality just yet.

Rescued squirrel 'dived like Tom Daley'
10:06am Tuesday 3rd July 2012 in News
Firefighters who rescued a trapped squirrel from guttering watched it plunge to the ground from two storeys up "in a dive Tom Daley would have been proud of."
A fire appliance from Pembroke Dock was called to the rescue at 2.50pm on Sunday in Lewis Street, Pembroke Dock.
The call came from the RSPCA to rescue a grey squirrel with its paw stuck under guttering on the two storey house.
Graeme Callan, Watch Manager at Pembroke Dock Fire & Rescue Station, said: "The squirrel immediately freed itself and did a dive that Olympic high diver Tom Daley would have been proud of.
"Unfortunately the landing was a bit of a belly flop onto the road.
"The squirrel was fine and ran off down the road presumably in search of its nuts".

Six Senses Samui is set on a gently sloping headland at the northern tip of Samui Island.
The resort is made up of just 66 private villas, many with personal pools, which are landscaped within natural vegetation, and with glorious, sweeping panoramas out to the Gulf of Thailand and the surrounding islands.
Located just six kilometres from Samui Airport, the 20-acre, or around 9-hectare estate is a 45-minute flight south of the Thai capital, Bangkok.

Breathtaking panoramas to the Gulf of Siam and outlying islands.
Bophut's Fisherman's Village is home to delicious seafood (4.58 km)
Chaweng is Samui's busiest and biggest town and is the prime centre for a buzzing nightlife (8.08 km)
Discover the jungle of Samui on an elephant tour (15.33 km)
Majestic Na Muang Waterfalls, show that Samui's beauty is much more than just its beaches (17.60 km)
Whether you enjoy Samui by foot, elephant, or car, you will find a wealth of natural beauty. The island is small enough to easily drive around, but it is big enough to discover many interesting and beautiful places.
While the most visited areas have roads fringed with shops and vendors, much of the island remains covered with coconut groves, rice paddies and forest.
The resort is made up of just 66 private villas, many with personal pools, which are landscaped within natural vegetation, and with glorious, sweeping panoramas out to the Gulf of Thailand and the surrounding islands
Fisherman's Village is fast gaining a reputation that stretches way beyond Samui for being the most elegant and well-preserved attraction on the island.
Lined by old wooden Chinese shop-houses, interspaced with a few modern buildings that match the tone, it retains a distinctly Mediterranean feel. This has probably got a lot to do with the fact that it was the main French outpost on the island for many years.
Mixed in among the shops are several boutiques, selling high quality clothing and jewellery.
There are quite a few restaurants offering dining facilities at the beach. Some of them have luxurious settings whilst others, such as the Sea Food Centre, offer excellent food at very affordable prices.
This is a shopper's haven with all manner of goods from souvenirs to leisure apparel.
Chaweng is also the nightlife capital of Koh Samui. You'll find live music, dance floors and outlets featuring the live sport's screens which are the trademark of many of the bars, pubs and clubs.
The elephant trekking tour on Koh Samui is one of the most popular of all the activities on the island. Suitable for families with young children, it provides the opportunity to witness some truly amazing landscapes.
The elephant trekking tour takes you through the island's tropical jungle, through rivers, up streams and past many cultural and interesting sights.
Na Muang Waterfalls, show that the island's beauty is not limited to its beaches. Found inland about 12 kilometres south-east of Nathon Bay, the Na Muang falls are reached by taking a walking path.
Namtok Na Muang, or 'Purple Waterfalls', are so named because of the striking purple shade of their rock faces. Na Muang is a popular place for families to relax and swim.

How To Get There
Although giving the feeling of splendid isolation, Six Senses Samui is just slightly off the beaten track. It is a 15-minute scenic drive from Samui International Airport (USM), which offers flights from many regional and international sources. These include Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Utapao, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

When to Visit
Peak season is from December to May, although there are a host of other great time to visit. For example there is Songkran in April to welcome the Thai New Year. In August, the Queen's birthday – Thailand's Mother's Day - is celebrated. November is Loy Kratong day, when visitors join with the locals to set adrift illuminated offerings.
Dining on the Rocks offers an award-winning and memorable experience, with focus on fresh, local ingredients. The unique cliff-face architecture is a triumph of ten terraced open and covered decks.
Warm stones are placed on tension-prone areas, with just the right amount of pressure to encourage muscles to relax. An ideal remedy for chronic muscle tension; ending with Reiki.
Relax by the vast infinity pool as it melds seamlesly with the horizon. Reality becomes a magical experience as the sun sets over the water and the sky turns to blue velvet.
The resort offers generously proportioned villas, many with private pools and glorious ocean vistas out to the Gulf of Thailand, or with garden views.
Two-bedroom villa with central living room, large private pool, outdoor dining with panorama and private entrance to Dining on the Rocks.
Excellent and felt sweet to have a staff to accompany us to airport until we enter the gate. I have never come across with a hotel with this service!

With regards to the beach, Koh Samui does not have the fine white powder sands like the Maldives and some Indian Ocean locations, its more rocky in some respects and the sand tend to be course.
