Gasoline Station - Samui
Samui as the largest island in the archipelago already had an almost continuous ring road which partly consisted of a concrete runway. This is what the only few gas stations looked like there where shared taxis "Songthaew"could be refuelled, as here. Shared taxis were the only available means of transport to the small town of Nathon where the ferry to the mainland Suratthani also docked. After the last ferry arrived in the afternoon, there were no more transport options.
I took this photo in 1981 with my analog Nikon FE camera, on 35mm Kodachrome slide film, and now scanned with Nikon Coolscan LS40ED film scanner.
