Koh Samui is easily reached from Bangkok, Thailand's main transport hub, by plane or bus / ferry combination. Other domestic destinations and even Malaysia can be reached from here as well. Should you travel by land, Surat thani Town, Don Sak or Chumporn are the ferry ports to reach the island.
Even due to all the development going on in recent years, the island still has its green stretches and also exports around seventy tons of coconuts per month, mostly to Bangkok.
When you started as a backpacker destination in the early '80s, Samui has something for everyone. From a bungalow on the beach for a family of high technology. A spring break speed garage in stylish bars and clubs, made entirely of ice or a family holiday with a cool little 'relaxation of yoga. The size of Samui and its countless bays make it possible.
Or even think of renting a house. If you stay more than a month you can save a lotmoney. You can rent any type of home between $ 80 and $ 8,000 per month. Most of them have air conditioning in the price and give some of furniture or a kitchen. Giant retailers such as Makro (TM), BigCo (TM) or Tesco (TM) to facilitate the daily shopping.
Getting around is as simple as regular buses and taxis connecting all main cities and beaches. Private air-conditioned taxis can be hired for a slightly higher percentage. For solo travelers a motorcycle taxi is the cheapest way to beget around.
Samui offers a lot of spare time activities. Mountain trails, waterfalls or tours to the Ang Thong National Marine Park for the nature lovers. Golf & Shooting Ranches, Water parks and Go karts for the holiday junkie. And Fine Dining Restaurants, Tennis Tournaments and sailing cruises for high flyers. A lot of western managed diving schools will happily take care of your water sports needs. And a trip around the island may discover some fun activities such as football golf or guppy fishing. There is plenty to do for everybody.
Speedboat transfers to the world famous Full Moon Party on the sister island of Koh Phangan are easily available at every travel agency.
Please note that Koh Samui is part of the Surt thani province. One of fifteen provinces in Thailand where the wearing of a helmet whilst operating a motorcycle is required. The legal fine for offenders varies between 300 and 500 Thai Baht (7-12$). If you never have ridden a bike before, then Koh Samui is the place to learn.
They have a great holiday and enjoy the land of smiles.
