What People Are Saying About Koh Samui

Write a Review

Samui Island

avatar
M67***48
Koh Samui is one of the two most popular islands in Thailand. The following are characteristics: 1. The scenery and natural landscape are more quiet and original, and the island is small in size. There are large coconut groves, white sand beaches and clearer sea water, suitable for tourists who like a quiet environment. Surrounding islands such as Pakan Island and Koh Tao are popular places to dive and view nature. Famous attractions: Big Buddha Temple, Namon Falls, Antong National Ocean Park. 2. The best time to travel in the climate and tourist season: February to August, the weather is relatively dry and the sea water visibility is high. There is a rainy season from October to January, but the rainfall is not large and you can still travel. 3. Activity and entertainment are suitable for diving, snorkeling, yoga, meditation and quiet leisure activities. Nightlife is low-key, mainly concentrated near Chaweng Beach. Suitable for couples and family tourists.---4. Accommodation and transportation Koh Samui accommodation options are mostly boutique hotels and resorts, with a quiet and natural blend. Transportation on the island is dominated by motorcycles and taxis. Phuket has a wide range of hotels, from affordable homestays to luxury resorts. There is a relatively complete road network on the island, which is convenient for taxis, car rentals and sudden cars. ---5. The atmosphere of Koh Samui is more leisurely and quiet, suitable for tourists who like niche travel. The number of tourists is relatively small and the degree of commercialization is low. Phuket is more lively and international, suitable for tourists who like vitality and diverse experiences. Commercialization is heavy and tourists are rich in variety. --- Summary suggestion if you like the tranquil natural environment and original ecological scenery, want to stay away from the hustle and bustle, Koh Samui is more suitable for you. Phuket is a better choice if you prefer lively, rich activities and convenient amenities. What travel experience do you prefer? Recommended further refinement!

Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Samui

I had an incredible experience at the elephant sanctuary in Thailand! The elephants are well cared for in a natural and ethical environment. Feeding them was unforgettable, and the staff's passion for their work was inspiring. Highly recommend visiting for a meaningful and unique experience!

Samui Aquarium & Tiger Zoo

Lamai Beach

avatar
蛉啊子
Lamai Beach is a short distance from Koh Samui Airport, much less crowded and quieter than the hottest Chaweng Beach, but there are far fewer items to play, and the sand feels thicker.

Wat Phra Yai

avatar
สะดวกเที่ยว
Wat Phra Yai, worship Phra Buddha Santhithipanath, is one of the important temples on Koh Samui. It is outstanding for its large Buddha statue in the Maravijaya posture, which can be seen from afar. It is both a famous tourist attraction on Koh Samui and has been the center of faith for the locals on Koh Samui since the past.
