Ko Samui, spell bounding as usual...
I left my heart in Koh Samui & I need to go back for it...

All of Koh Samui makes it ideal for those who want the joy of a beach holiday in Thailand without any of the roughness around the edges. Honeymooners can take their pick of super-luxe hotels, beach clubs and Michelin-starred restaurants; parents can go for family-friendly hotels with childcare and splash pools and Western food (there's even a branch of Boots); nervous first-timers can make their first foray into South-East Asia surrounded by home comforts and limited creepy-crawlies.
Koh Samui is also possibly the best yoga and spa destination in the world. Kamalaya, set high in the rainforest, is our number-one destination spa and wellness retreat: the lodges are beautifully designed in local timber and stone - classic Thai architecture, all wood and greenery, open to the elements and surrounded by banana trees and bougainvillea. Another is Absolute Sanctuary, another leading yoga retreat that is so good as to be life-changing. Ko Samui Airport (USM) is a private airport originally built by Bangkok Airways, which is still the main operator and was for a long time the only airline with services to Ko Samui.
Visa-on-Arrival and Visa-Free entries are available at Samui Airport for some nationalities. As on many islands in Thailand, motorbikes are available for rent. Compared to other nearby islands, Samui's road system is very developed and there are plenty of taxis cruising about, although it's a challenge to get them to use their meters. |
Kayaking
The calm water surrounding Koh Samui and Koh Musdum are ideal for kayaking. Diving Koh Samui is widely known to have some of the best dive sites in all of Asia. There are many diving schools such as PADI that teach you everything you need to know before you set out into the wild blue yonder. Fishing Koh Samui with its vibrant marine life is an ideal fishing spot. There are many local schools around. Angthong National Marine Park Made up of an archipelago of 42 islands, Angthong National Marine Park sits pretty in the Gulf of Thailand with its characteristic limestone mountains that soar into the sky and are fringed by thick jungle and white sand beaches. |
