19 Reviews I didn't go with this company but picked up their leaflet and can tell you what they have to offer. Most companies going to the National Marine Park have the same or similar activity schedule and we actually came across two other groups of people when we were there ourselves, but everything is timed...
Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks
21 Reviews Between Lamai and Hua Thanon lies two famous rock formations: Hin Ta and Hin Yai also known as Grandpa and Grandma rocks. These formations look like the male and female genitalia, respectively. What makes these rocks even more strange is that they are close to each other, giving way to a legend...
24 Reviews The second waterfall is over 4 times higher than its sister at around 80 metres. It is in fact a double fall, both roughly 10 metres wide that can be seen on the road up to the base of the fall. The road up is easy enough, although a little steep, and parking here is free. You will be assailed...
41 Reviews Built here in 1972 on the site of the Wat Phra Yai Temple, the Buddha sits at 12 metres high at the top of a staircase and can be easily seen coming in to land at Samui airport. One of the most popular sites on the island, it shows in the tacky t-shirt and souvenir shops that sit alongside the...
37 Reviews The Full Moon Party is held on KO PhaNgan on the eve of the Full Moon, and what a party it is. I was tempted to jump on one of the speed boats and participate in the fun, But my Dad thought i was still a little to young for that kind of stuff. Plus he still remembers what had happened just a few...
12 Reviews My partner and I visited the Samui Aquarium & Tiger Park recently and ended up leaving in disgust. The tiger cub that they use for photos was mangy, left with no water and was obviously starved. They would bring out a bottle of milk when someone wanted photos and the poor thing was so desperate for...

2 Reviews and 304 Opinions After days of activities and excitement in Chaweng , i tried for something different. And yes, four...
10 Reviews The Reggae pub is a great way to ease yourself into a good night out. It starts off really at about 10.30 with some Reggae music and some rock ballads. They have a very good house band caaled "Big Roots" that has been playing there nightly for quite some time now. As the place fills up a bit the...
13 Reviews This place is a big night club. here you can buy their famous and delicious buckets with alcohol. After some buckets you can full of surprises, wild and drunk of course. It is a mix of local liquer, coke and some other drink. Be prepare for a wild night when you drink it. Summer clothes.
19 Reviews hi, i found a very affordable scooter rental(atutomatic) starting at 100 baht per day for yamaha mio and 125 a day for honda click, price per month is 2000-2500 baht. http://www.bahtsold.com/en/view/automatic-motorbike-to-rent-2000-2500-per-month-90903 the guy is from belgium and delivers the...
24 Reviews It's possible to get a bus/ferry combo ticket to Krabi from Ko Samui. I booked mine through a travel agents in central Chaweng which cost 500 baht. I got picked up early in the morning from my hotel and we picked more people up and headed towards the ferry pier in Nathon. We then transferred onto an...
9 Reviews One of the things that I have never understood about travellers is their desire to break the rules, or guidelines of the local people. Out of respect to the people who look after this temple, and also the buddhists, please remove your shoes and wear non-revealing clothing. It is not too much to ask...
3 Reviews As with any foreign country it is an advantage to learn some basic communication terms.In thai it is handy to know the following terms. Sa-wa-dee khap for males,Sa-wa-dee ka for females(hello or goodbye). Kap kun khap for males,kap kun ka for females(thank you). Other handy one`s are Cow jye...
Katoeys (Ladyboys/Transvestites)
6 Reviews The Lady boys that entertain you can be fun to watch but whatever you do don't take the p**** as they can get nasty, also you may be hassled for a photo with them.........if you do you will have to pay and 2 ladyboys in the photo thats 2 payments.
7 Reviews On the way to the area where the elephants are kept i had eaten a banana and afterwards wiped my hands off on my pants as we kids like to do. As you can see in the photo, these elephants are kept on a short chain and that's all, so when this little guy got close enough to me to smell the banana on...
3 Reviews I`ll describe 2 traps in 1 tip, 1st one - check your money before changing 2nd one- The amount of money you carry No 1 -- Always double check the amount you are about to exchange,this is common sense, however on my last trip I went to exchange $150AUD(3 $50 notes) counted twice went to F/X , signed...
3 Reviews Because chaweng beach is the most popular place in samui many shops charge 2-3 times more than it's regular price. Bargain at least for half-price or compare from prices from other shops You can try Lamai or Nathon market
4 Reviews Right up the top, on almost the highest point of Ko Samui, is the Magic Garden. A haven of peace inhabited by flowers and butterflies and very few tourists. Also the main reason for the visit are the dozens of statues hidden away on the trails. There is also a refreshing small waterfall. The garden...
8 Reviews Koh Nangyuan is a small island about 1 and a half hour from Koh Samui. It has great snorkeling and diving. It's lovely and there is only a resort there. You can get there taking a catamaran sped ferry which runs twice daily for 550 baht. Another way of going there is to join a tour. There are...
10 Reviews Chaweng is a busy and fun beach if you are interested in meeting people. Choeng Mon is a quieter beach that is relaxing and not far from the night-life. So many to choose from, one of the real highlights was the ready and sincere smile of the local people.
4 Reviews I would like to share this with you as it blew us away during our visit to Koh Samui. Being South African, we love good quality red wine and having visited Thailand before we knew that if you wanted good red wine in Thailand you either take it with you or blow half your budget on a half decent...

Koh Samui was a fantastic place. My friend and I went in 2006 and absolutely loved it and is what has given me my travel bug. This camp, colourful place has something for everyone. Some people...
Ko Samui - something for everyone
This photo was taken on the top terrace of the Big Buddha. I actually do really hate looking like a typical tourist, but on this day I needed the hat because my forehead was sunburnt, and Johnno...
Need some colour or Culture in your life? If so then this place is a must see when you go to Koh Samui. This is the Wat Plai Laem Buddist temple not far from Chaweng Koh Samui.
