Koh Samui is located in the southern Gulf of Thailand. It’s the largest island of the Samui Archipelago and the second-largest in the country. In this video, we’ll highlight 10 top things to do in Koh Samui.
10. Relax at the beaches
Our favorite beach in Koh Samui was Lamai, which is more relaxing than Chaweng but still has lots of tourist facilities and entertainment around.
9. Discover the Secret Buddha Garden (Tarnim Magic Garden)
Hidden high up in the hills in Koh Samui’s center, this garden is filled with unique statues and structures amid lush jungle surroundings.
8. Visit the Na Muang waterfalls
The Na Muang 1 waterfall is close to the parking lot and easily accessible on foot, while Na Muang 2 requires a short steep hike if you want to get closer to the falls.
☑️ Book half-day jeep tour to waterfalls & secret garden: www.getyourguide.com/koh-samu...
7. See Koh Samui’s most mysterious rocks
At Lamai Beach, you can find two distinctive rock formations. Discovered by locals many years ago, these rocks were described as "Grandpa" (Hin Ta) and "Grandma" (Hin Yai).
6. Go island hopping to Koh Phangan or Koh Tao
Koh Phangan and Koh Tao are the sister islands of Koh Samui, and you can easily visit them on a boat tour. While Koh Tao is a great place for diving and snorkeling, Koh Phangan is home to pristine beaches and the famous Full Moon Party.
☑️ Koh Phangan Day Tour: www.getyourguide.com/koh-samu...
☑️ Koh Tao Day Tour: www.getyourguide.com/koh-samu...
5. Eat and Shop at Bophut Fisherman's Village
Located at the north coast of Koh Samui, Bophut Fisherman’s Village is a beautiful walking street filled with cafés, boutique shops, and restaurants.
4. Watch a Muay Thai Boxing Match
Koh Samui offers Muay Thai boxing matches on almost every day of the week and the most popular place to watch them is the Samui International Muay Thai Stadium in Chaweng.
3. Explore the colorful temples
Some of the most beautiful temples include Wat Ratchathammaram in Lamai, Wat Plai Laem, and the Big Buddha Temple.
2. Go on a boat tour to Ang Thong Marine Park
A must-do day trip from Koh Samui is Ang Thong National Marine Park, an archipelago made of 42 small islands. It’s possible to do this by speedboat or larger boat tour.
☑️ Book a speedboat boat tour to Ang Thong Marine Park: www.getyourguide.com/koh-samu...
1.Eat street food at the night market
The Friday Night Market in Bophut Fisherman’s Village runs from 5 PM until 11 PM. There is also live music at the central bar area to keep you entertained.

Great video. It's definitely helping us with our Thailand itinerary. How many days would you suggest in Koh Samui?

@worldwildhearts 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! 😊 Well it depends if you're looking to relax or more to see the island. We'd say 3 days is probably enough to see the highlights (and definitely do the boat tour to Ang Thong if you can!). But if you want to relax and spend some time at the pool/beach, you might want to stay a bit longer

Thanks for the informative video! I would like just to ask if it is safe to eat from the Street food markets in Thailand, as well as drink the Cocktails? Did you experience any stomach issues?

@worldwildhearts 6 ай бұрын

Yes absolutely! The markets get so many people visiting that the food is pretty fresh. We got food poisoning twice in Thailand (over 8 weeks)… but twice in a decent touristic restaurant. If you want to avoid food poisoning I would suggest to avoid eating chicken as much as you can lol. We both got it from chicken… the night markets have so much variety of food so you just choose the ones that look good to you (the hygienic ones). Also drinks have never been a problem for us and we had some of the best cocktails at the market 🍹🍸

Thank you for your video. It's beautiful place! How many days do you think we need to stay to see all the island? I am hoping to have holiday with my my family. Do you think August (UK school break) is fine to go and not so rainy? I love that Marine Day Park tour.

@worldwildhearts 13 күн бұрын

August in Koh Samui is pretty good because it's outside the raining season (unlike in Phuket and the western coast). The island boat trip is definitely a must!

Any tips to move around the island with a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children, 5 and 2 yo)? Is renting a car a good option or just taxi everywhere?

@worldwildhearts 8 ай бұрын

Renting a car might be good if you want to explore the island. The island is big enough that you need to have a vehicle to get around. You can also get a taxi via Grab or NaviGo App to get a driver. But it’s not always easy to find one. We had our hotel arrange a few times transportation, but it was more expensive than most places in Thailand (maybe 15US$ for a 20-30 mins ride one-way)

@worldwildhearts 13 күн бұрын

Not that we've seen! Most tourists just drive around the island by scooter and explore the beaches that way

@deborahwyndham-lewis5188 6 ай бұрын

Should you stay on Koh pangang or Koh Tao or just visit?

@worldwildhearts 5 ай бұрын

We loved the vibe of Koh Phangan the most out of the 3 islands. It’s big enough that you can entertain yourself for 3- 5 days. Koh Tao is the smallest one and more for diving or snorkelling. You can do day trips but I’d recommend dividing your time between the 2-3 islands if you can!

@autumnequinox21 2 ай бұрын

is it okay to visit koh samui on the month of may?

@worldwildhearts 2 ай бұрын

It's not that bad! Koh Samui doesn't experience the south-west monsoon that affects the majority of Thailand, so between May and September it's a better option for warm and dry weather than Phuket and Khao Lak on the Andaman Coast. However, you can still expect some rainy days!

What area is best to live to reach most attractions?

@worldwildhearts 6 ай бұрын

All the attractions are spread around the island so you’ll need a scooter or rent a driver to get to them. We stayed in Lamai, which was pretty central overall. Chaweng is the busiest of all but also pretty central. Bophut or Maenam would also be good options. Kinda depends on what atmosphere you want around you. The island isn’t too big so the drive is never too long anyways

Would you prefer Koh Samui or Krabi? We cannot decide where to go from 30th December til 6th January. We like exploring an area by scooter on our own and relax at nice bars or pubs with live music.

@worldwildhearts 6 ай бұрын

Both are very different! Krabi is not an island, it’s mainly on the mainland (unless you get to Koh Lanta or the smaller islands). Maybe Koh Samui would be better if you’re looking for taking the scooter and discovering the pubs and nightlife. Krabi has the most beautiful nature scenery in our opinion, but Koh Samui has the real island vibes and more beaches to choose from
