Koh Samui is just around Phuket in terms of popularity and traffic to the Thai resort. And there are good reasons why, despite years of chronic over-development of the island most of its natural beauty and picture postcard beaches. is the arrival and departure from the island easily with regular international and domestic flights directly to the island and regular ferry services from Surat Thani.
There is a wide selection of accommodation throughout the island for severalBudgets, although the tendency to resort more and more sophisticated. The main beach is Chaweng, which has a long beautiful white sand. Chaweng town is very Resorts with stretching most of the length of the beach and shops, bars and restaurants built in the streets behind. More comfortable on the beaches north of the island are located. Bophut has a rustic, family atmosphere, even if the beaches are not as good.
There is much to do to fill Samui, ifYou choose one, car or motorcycle use mass transit for rent. (NOTE - If the option to set any outfit whether it be cars, motorcycles, jet ski, etc. Just do your research first, and is well known, the owners reputation many scams that try to Thailand, where the tenant is will be charged an exorbitant amount. to repair scratches that will not likely lead to. Such situations are known to turn ugly. Do a Google search to find more to read this).
So here's a reviewThe main activities:
Visiting Temple - One of the highlights of visits to most people in Thailand to visit some temples and Samui is no exception. The best known is the Big Buddha Big Buddha Beach. A short climb to the top of the temple has some beautiful sea views. There are also some rather misleading fortune telling machine and you can buy a brick to help build the new temple building. Another famous temple of Wat Khunaram contains themummified body of a local Monaco. The hotel is located on the south side of the freeway, this is worth a visit.
Hin Ta - Hin Yai - This is a support rather bizarre, a few miles south of Chaweng Beach. The ring road runs along the edge of the cliff and you will see a small branch, which in turn is reported. Click here to go down in a small village with some shops and parking of tourist souvenirs. Then followed a quick way to add some rocks and a small beach. Standing as asore thumb are two rocks (Hin Ta and Hin Yai, literally, grandfather and grandmother Rock) who, as husband and wife "private parts" are made!
The animal attraction - the extreme south-east, and Tiger Zoo Aquarium, a great way to spend a couple of hours, especially if you have kids away. Both are very interesting and have a little 'concerts during the day. These are part of the Samui Orchid Resort. Na Tian Butterfly Garden offers good photo opportunitiesfor lovers of butterflies and orchids, but not all cup of tea! There is also a crocodile farm near the airport.
There are regular monkey indicates the charade, the ring road from the beach of Bophut. The monkeys are used to give demonstrations of how to collect coconuts and there is also an elephant show. The monkeys have a smooth look to the steady stream of cars along the streets of Samui (fortunately only as a passenger!). Elephant rides are available atvarious locations throughout the island, usually at home and offers the ideal hiking terrain.
Natural Attractions and Tours - The most popular waterfalls on the island is Na Muang 1 and 2 These are very easy to reach, if not the most spectacular. Na Muang 1 is the lower of the two is next to a small parking area, there is no need to walk. Na Muang 2 is a bit 'higher and requires a walk. There are many ways natural to the island to provide opportunities for good quality picture isthe sea, especially at sunset. One of the best known is one stop north of Hin Ta - Hin Yai, around the beach of Lamai. The interior of Samui offers hiking trails, if that's the thing.
The beaches are of course the main attraction of Samui. As I said, Chaweng is the main beach is longer and the sand and the sea are better than the rest of the island. It 'also being developed with many shops, pharmacies, food and rowdy nightlife. Lamai close Chaweng and is slightly quieter. A popular place and relaxed in the north of the island is the beach of Bophut. It 's a family-oriented beach with a more rustic village with some shops and restaurants. From the island - there are the usual choice of water sports like jet ski, banana boat, etc., especially from Chaweng.
Bophut Pier Ferries run from the nearby island of Koh Pha Ngan. This is the island famous for its parts Full Moon and you can arrange an overnight stay in> Koh Pha Ngan by agencies in Samui. You can also know the diving paradise of Koh Tao, which is known as. The beautiful Ang Thong National Marine Park can be found here and worth a day trip. You can also camp, but there are structures in the park I have some photos of this spectacular location on my site.
Others - There is a Muay Thai stadium in Chaweng town, if that's your thing. There are also some sports such asas the go-kart and shooting ranges. If you are brave enough having to rent a car is a ride around the island ring road is a great way to spend a day.
All in all, Samui has much to offer all tastes and budgets. Although I remember that now is an international destination and the prices are generally higher than the rest of Thailand and is excessively developed in some parts. Although this has much of its natural beauty that prevents people from returning from time to time.
