Koh Samui offers a calmer alternative to Thailand’s busier islands — genuinely beautiful beaches, a famous golden Buddha, and an easy base for exploring the wider Gulf of Thailand.
Suggested Route (5–6 Days)
- Days 1–2 — Chaweng & Lamai Beach: The island’s main beach strips, good for both relaxing and nightlife.
- Day 3 — Big Buddha Temple & Fisherman’s Village: A golden 12-metre Buddha statue and a charming old fishing village turned night market.
- Days 4–5 — Ang Thong Marine Park: A boat trip to a cluster of limestone islands with hidden lagoons.
- Day 6 — Koh Phangan or Koh Tao day trip: Easy ferry connections to neighbouring islands.
