Koh Samui Activity

A monitor lizard climbed out of a drain on the main road in Lamai at noon on Monday, crossed the road at its own speed and sat down in front of a shop

Escape Beach Resort in Samui is a great spot for couples. They had a great time, which is a good enough reason to consider it for your own stay.

Buri Rasa Village in Chaweng Beach is a beautiful resort with a pool and beach access, located in a quiet and private area despite being close to everything in walking distance. It's worth noting that the resort has a policy of no kids allowed, making it a great option for couples looking for a peaceful getaway.

I was riding the ring road from Chaweng to Lamai one October on a rented bicycle that was too small, and the three of you passed me on one tiny motorb

Lotus Chaweng is a large shopping mall with a typical touristy feel, but it does have a store offering good discounts on sports clothing. There is also an outlet store selling Hurley clothing nearby, but on the opposite side of the street.

I've been wanting to bring my parents and sister to Thailand for a luxury vacation, but the prices for villas in Koh Samui are jaw-dropping, with some going over 100,000 baht per night. I'm wondering if anyone is actually paying these prices or if it's just the 'white lotus effect'.

The rain came in at Lamai Beach just as I was setting up to read. A man with a big striped tarp walked over, propped it up on two sticks in the sand a

At Nathon pier a young man stood by a very large suitcase and said to his friend, "I thought the island would feel smaller." His friend looked at the

I was trying to choose between two lanterns at the Friday walking street in Fisherman's Village, Bophut, one on the left and one on the right, while y

I came back to the family restaurant after some time away, and on the first Friday I walked out front at dusk to find the lane closed to traffic and f

I ran down the boards at Nathon pier on a Friday afternoon with a suitcase and a very tight bus connection, and the ferry worker saw me from the ramp.

I'm spending one night in Koh Samui and want to be in Chaweng for the nightlife. I've narrowed it down to these 4: Ark Bar Beach Resort, Elephant Beach Club, LOVE Beach, and Lub d Samui. Has anyone stayed at any of these, and which would you pick for that night?

I'm a remote worker based in Koh Samui and I'm looking for a premium laundry service in Sriracha for myself. I've searched and found self-service washing machines but no shops that offer the service for me. I'm looking for something like Xin Chai Hua in Bangkok, where they wash and dry my clothes for me.

I'm having trouble finding a place with decent AC in Koh Samui. Most rentals I've seen have tiny units that can't keep up with the heat, even in expensive places with private pools. I offered to pay extra to install a bigger unit in one place, but the owner refused. This is really frustrating for me.

I'm heading to Koh Samui and I've got gifts for family and friends, so I need to purchase extra luggage. The airport says only one checked bag is allowed, but I'll have two. Do I just pay extra for the second one?

I've been in Thailand for a while in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, but I feel a real calling for the island life now. I spent 10 lovely days on Koh Samui and haven’t felt the same since returning home. I miss the beach, the views, the clean air, the slow pace of life. I already have my eye on a beautiful hillside villa when my current lease ends.

It's a place that has a shop in Amsterdam that's pretty high quality, so I'd imagine it would be good. Located in Lamai, it's one of several local options to try out.

We are a couple traveling to Koh Samui for the first time. We're budget travelers who like to explore food, culture, and shopping. We're looking for a budget to slight premium stay. What are our best options for areas to stay in?

Planning a trip to Koh Samui at the end of December and early January, concerned about rain.

Tops Central Festival is a great place to find a wide selection of beers, including imported brands like Sierra Nevada IPA. Try the Sierra Nevada IPA, available at Tops Central Festival, which is a popular supermarket on the island.
