Koh Samui

From temple hopping and exciting island adventures to wildlife encounters, Koh Samui is a cosmopolitan island that deserves more hype than it gets. Here you’ll find authentic Thai cuisine and relaxing Thai massages, as well as a rich underwater world full of sea creatures and colorful corals. Don’t miss out on island-hopping tours, jungle ATV rides, temples and safari expeditions and other tropical indulgences when in Koh Samui.

Enjoy an early summer holiday at Koh Samui, which reaches its sunniest around February-March. The dry season will allow you to explore the island with little to no rain, and it also means sunny days that are perfect for tanning.

Koh Samui is generally budget-friendly for tourists, but prices of accommodation can still dip or increase depending on the location. Chaweng Beach’s nightlife scene, close proximity to commercial establishments, and beachfront view make it the best place to stay in. However, if you’d like a quieter neighborhood near the ocean, check out Lamai Beach. Families and solo travelers looking to save can have a great time at Bo Phut, the old town center known for its marketplace.
