Koh Samui Travel Blogs

The first leg of the trip was over L and we were now on our way to Laos. The trip so far had been relatively smooth sailing but when we arrived at the Koh Samui airport we found out the our flight to Bangkok had been delayed for about an hour (1.30pm), which put us into a bit of a panic as we had a…

Stayed here for 10 days to chill after the madness of Phuket. To be greeted by the nicest airport in the world was a great start to a happy time :-)if I had to remember anything, it would be the curries, curries, curries...lol. But having said that it is a great place to unwind and party also.

Andrea thought it would be a good idea to tour the island. I wasn’t too excited at first but I am glad we did it. I wanted another beach day but it is cloudy and looks like rain so the tour is probably a good idea. We booked the “around the island” tour and it is run by Samui leisure. It took…

I'm here in Koh Samui sitting on this gigantic 7ft wide king size bed, looking out my window, beyond the deck of my bungalow, out to the beautiful lush green gardens, with a slight view of the ocean through the coconut trees. hmm what more could you want? I'm staying at the Coral Bay B…

Truly one of the very few airports that actually deserves its own blog! Simply amazing. If only all airports were like this...well, this is provided that the weather is this good all year round of course. The airport is essentially entirely outdoors with the departure lounge being a nice l…

  Three dogs sniffed along the water's edge, giving wide berth to two Thai men walking with a three-foot-long, green lizard slung over a shoulder. Then a pair of foreigners stumbled out of Munchies and onto Chaweng Beach after ingesting either magic mushroom omelets or ghanja cookies: those s…

Due to the disappointment of yesterday and not yet being able to explore the island, I finally convinced myself to hire a scooter. Honestly, how hard can it be. With passport and drivers license in hand I was soon the proud renter of a blue beast. I even got a spiffy red helmet to boot. Not that an…

Ko Samui was beautiful. We loved it there. After our train ride we took a bus ride and then we took a boat ride. And then once there we took a taxi ride. We were trying to get in as many different forms of travel as we could in the shortest amount of time. lol! We rented bungalows on the beach for …

After my 27 hour trip I arrived with a ferry from the mainland to the beautiful island of Koh Samui. From the ferry is a 10 minute walk to go to the taxis. I had not much sleep and I only had breakfast so I was a little bit tolling at my feet. The taxi driver asked a ridiculous price but I wanted t…

Shanghai = shithole in winter Thailand = paradise all year around

You can find some places for renting ATV in Koh Samui like other places, but it is slightly different in Koh Samui ... as it is a wonderful place for ATV riding.The reason is that the whole island is somehow wild and you can use your ATV in all places from your hotel to top of the hills. There are …

after koh ang thong we headed back over to koh samui by ferry and stayed on Bo Phut beach.  we stayed at "shades bungalows" which is by far the nicest bungalows weve stayed at so far, the restaurants there were all very fancy and open on the beach (but still very cheap), one night me and 5 oth…
