Don't forget the suncreen!
by tere1
Pack light, you don't need much clothes for Samui. During the day a bikini or bathingsuit with a sarong ( if you're a woman) will do. At night you should wear shirts with long sleeves and pants or skirts because of the mosquitos. Flip flops and sandals are the best as it's hot there! Suncreen, with a high protector factor ( the sun burns) , and the usual painkillers, immodium, in case you might need it.
Party at night
by judyksp about Sweet Soul and Green Mango in Chaweng
Sweet Soul is located just opposite the Green Mango. Both Sweet Soul and Green Mango attracts the young crowd. There is always plenty of dancing and latest tecno and hip hop music. Although the cost of the drinks are the most expensive (a vodka bucket in Green Mango costs as much as 600 baht), you will find that these two bars have the biggest concentration of those who love to party.
If you lack a companion, don't worry. You can find any type of companion that you want in these two bars. Since they are located just opposite each other, the most crowded space is the road that seperates the two of them.
Life in these two bars starts typically after midnight and ends at about 2.30am. If you are early, you will not see any action at all. Casual
Tour Bus for Cruise Passengers
by ATXtraveler
The major debate when taking a vacation on a cruise ship is whether you can find your own activities, and risk not making it back to the ship on time, or just taking the organized tour bus, paying a little more, but ensuring you are there to leave (or they wait).
On this occassion, I was fairly happy with our tour. It included bus transfers, a elephant trekking excursion, monkey show, and thai cooking display. In addition it had some time to go enjoy Chaweng Beach Road (or we could have gone to the beach itself).
The bus tour was definitely worth it in Koh Samui, even though taxis are cheap. It was worth it to not have to fight or negotiate price on the taxi, wait in between stops, and we then did not have to pay to get into all the adventure stops.
