In 2005 Frederique fell in love with Koh Samui. Its fresh air, eclectic beaches, outlying islands, pristine and calm environment as well as its close proximity by air to Hong Kong and other major cities all told her this was the idyllic place. She selected the Santikhiri Estate situated on the southern coast overlooking a picturesque blue water bay as the perfect location with the perfect view to build her dream house.
