Koh Samui is located behind Phuket in terms of popularity and traffic for Thai resort. And there are good reasons why, despite years of chronic over-development of the island away from its natural beauty and postcard beaches. Travel to and from the island is easy with regular international and domestic flights directly to the island and regular ferry services from Surat Thani.
There is a huge selection of accommodation across the island to meet variousBudgets, although the tendency to resort more and more refined. The main beach is Chaweng, which has a long beautiful white sand. Chaweng town is very Resorts with more stretching the length of the beach and shops, bars and restaurants built around the streets. Quieter beaches along the northern 'island to find. Bophut has a rustic atmosphere, although the beaches are not good.
There is plenty to do in order to fill SamuiIf you have a car, bicycle and use mass transit. (NOTE - If you are an equipment rental be it a car, motorcycle decided to do your research, jetski etc. beforehand and use only reliable tenants. And 'known to many scams that are in Thailand, where the attempt to free tenants an exorbitant amount for small scratches that probably have not taken to repair it. Such situations are known to turn nasty. Do a Google search, to find out more about it).
Well here is aGland of the main activities:
Visiting the temples - One of the highlights of most people in Thailand attended a couple of temple visits and Samui is no exception. The most famous Big Buddha Big Buddha Beach. A short climb to the top of the temple also offers 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 buildings. Another famous temple is Wat Khunaramcontains the mummified body of a local Monaco. Located along the southern section of the freeway, this is worth a quick stop.
Hin Ta - Hin Yai - This is a rather eccentric stage, a few miles south of Chaweng beach. The ring road runs along the edge of a rocky cliff and reach a small deviation, which is reported. This takes you down in a small village with shops and parking of tourist souvenirs. Then followed a short way to some rocks and a bit 'of beach.Standing out like a sore thumb two rocks (Hin Ta and Hin Yai, literally, the Grandfather and Grandmother Rock), the male and female are like "Private Parts" shaped!
Animal Attraction - in the extreme southeast of the island, Tiger Zoo and Aquarium, which is a good way to spend a few hours, especially if you have children, away. Both are very interesting and shows, some have all day. These are part of Samui Orchid Resort. So Tian Butterfly gardenphoto opportunities for lovers of butterflies and orchids, not everyone cup of tea, but it offers! There is also a crocodile farm near the airport.
There are regular performances in monkeys monkey theater, on the ring of Bophut Beach. The monkeys, give demonstrations, which are used to collect coconuts and there is also a spectacle of elephants. Monkeys are a regular look at the steady stream of motorcycles traveling along roads Samui (fortunately only asPassengers!). Elephant riding in different places around the island, usually in the internal space available, as this is the ideal hiking terrain.
wildlife attractions and tour - The most popular waterfalls on the island is Na Muang 1, and 2 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 lot, one foot is not required. Na Muang 2 is a bit 'higher and requires a walk. There are many natural vantage points around theIsland, which offer good photo opportunities on the sea, especially at sunset. One of the best known is one stop north of Hin Ta - Hin Yai, around Lamai Beach. The interior of Samui has some good trekking is your thing.
The beaches are obviously the main attraction of Koh Samui. As I said before, main beach of Chaweng is the longest and the sand and the sea are better than the rest of the island. It is also the most developed with greatShops, pharmacies, food and dancing turbulent. Chaweng and Lamai neighbors is a bit 'quieter. A popular and relaxing on the north side of the island is the beach of Bophut. It is a beach family with a rustic village with shops and restaurants. Island - there are the usual range of water activities like jet skiing, banana boat, etc., especially from Chaweng.
Ferries run from the nearby pier Bophut Koh Pha Ngan. This island is famous for the fullSamui Moon parties and may be in a night of Koh Pha Ngan by the agencies. You can also click on Koh Tao, which is known as a diving paradise preserved. The beautiful Ang Thong National Marine Park is accessed from here and worth a day trip. You can also camp overnight, but there is no shelter in the park, I have some photos of this spectacular location on my website.
Other - Muay Thai is a stadium in Chaweng town, it is your thing. Usare also some sports such as karting and shooting. If you are brave enough machine, travel can be rented around the island ring road is an interesting way for a day.
After all, Samui has much to offer for every taste and budget. While the recall is now an international destination and the prices are usually higher than the rest of Thailand, and is excessively developed in parts. Although this is much more of its natural beauty, people back holderTime to time.
