We think Koh Samui is the best island in Thailand and today we're sharing some hidden gems that no one mentions! After being away from Koh Samui for 6 months, we were desperately missing the island life. So join us today as we show you the side of Samui we love the most and what our ideal day on the island looks like.
Here is our FREE Koh Samui Food Guide for delicious meals under 100 Baht. All these places we love and frequent often. We hope you'll enjoy them too: www.thatch.co/@floraandnote

I was at Koh Samui around the same time. Celebrated Christmas there but the current was strong. We Googled for better beach and was taken to Lipa Noi but when we got there, water was still a little choppy. I don't really watch KZfaq etc when I travel so maybe I should cos then I'll know about this area and could finally enjoy the calm water. 7 days in Samui and we ended up driving to Krabi after 1 week in Samui cos we found out the water was much calmer there even though we prefer Samui. Oh well 😄😄😄

I know of Koh Fit, but they don't seem to have any air-conned weight lifting space (only cardio). Are e any more options, other than hotel gyms? Also, do you know what resort has the best gym? Cheers from the cold nordics (but thinking about doing something about it...)
