Many people have to step foot on the island of startled surprise at the beauty here, a paradise far from the mainland makes you thinking himself as not in Thailand or Vietnam. Because of geographical location at an astronomical distance south of Bangkok, so visitors coming mostly foreigners. Besides Koh Samui is also consistent with the family on vacation, by the beautiful beach and not too noisy. The name was transcribed from Koh Samui Thai (Far Brush Nose) with the sense that Coconut Island. So you have more information about Koh Samui I Go ask some general information later, very useful for you when traveling to Koh Samui. (Note Koh Samui island Koh Samed is not light, 2 different island altogether)
So go when?
Except during the rainy season from October to date in December to Koh Samui, you should go to any remaining time in years.
So far Kho Samui Island and is traveling so that you stay here for 3 days and 2 nights, or longer, to move worthwhile and can enjoy a perfect holiday.
Go to Koh Samui Guide
Usually there will be two ways to get to Koh Samui.
Go by plane
Koh Samui airport, but the airport should own relatively expensive airfares. You can fly to Koh Samui from Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, Malaysia. Thus, most will not choose this option, unless you have a high level of payment. But if you come to Samui in this way can save one little money compared to alternatives taxi ferry, because the airport is located very close to the main beach of Koh Samui (like Chaweng, Bophut).
Go By ferry
In order to Donsak Ferry Koh Samui island, you have many options like fly from Bangkok to Surat Thani airport bus terminal and go Donsak. Or take the bus from the other provinces. Like this:
From Bangkok to Surat Thani and Samui
From Bangkok you can fly to Surat Thani airport, may choose Airasia or Nok Air. Maybe Bay early morning 6.20am flight to Surat Thani by Nok Air, if you or they can go to sleep in dust from Don Muang Airport from the night before to save money on hotels. Prices of Airasia from about $ 35.
Go to Surat Thani airport, you can easily find a bus and ferry tickets to go Samui right, price is 150bath bus, ferry is 200bath. So always buy the 2 for convenience. There are bus tickets to carmakers Phaptip you waiting for a trip to the ferry. Vehicles running about 90 minutes from the airport to the ferry Don Sak. This large ferry, carrying trucks, cars, on which, on ferries have air conditioning, there are shops selling food, play time is just 1 hour ferry trip from 7-19h 1. There are many firms ferry and speedboat however Phantip bus company in conjunction with the ferry company Seatrans.
From Phuket to Samui
The travel agent in Thailand doing pretty good, you can put the bus from Phuket to Samui and back away .. Often people buy tickets combined bus + ferry too. From Phuket to Koh Samui from Phuket bus you go to Surat Thani and then ferry from ferry to ferry Nathon Donsak of Samui. Ferry Route Phuket - Koh Samui (and vice versa), the company has 3 ferries: Songserm, Seatran, and Lomprayah. Experience is genuine quality Songserm cheapest but also the worst, Ferries as liner, dirt, and or late, go long. Seatran and Lomprayah 1 bit more expensive but much better service, very comfortable and clean. Fasteners are you should go Seatrans.
Advance to the next Samui Nathon ferry terminal, from where you'll have to catch a taxi to get to other beaches, resorts and hotels. Taxi prices in Samui usually correct price, less if you bargain. Also you can go songthew taxi is much cheaper but per capita. This car or go Thai who is no longer unfamiliar, about 15 minutes with the Terminal 1. Be sure to ask the price before not to appear topless. Note that the vehicle is a station about 700m Songtheow, you should walk out in the street to start, do not be caught minivan which will be much higher price.
Reputable bus company go from Bangkok or Phuket to Surat Thani you should choose Phantrip. When buying bus tickets at the agents you should talk clearly about cars and car manufacturers, should go to 40-seat cars for comfort, do not go all kinds of mini bus 16 seats.
The other way to go to Koh Samui
In addition to the ferry terminal for normal Donsak, also has ports for fast train Tha Thong (price 380 baht, go faster), and port for ships night Ao Bandong (price only 100 baht, take these vessels you will sleep on cruise ships, each only 1 day trip departs at 11pm, said 5g30 morning after Koh Samui. Then this boat to Koh Phan said go ngan and Koh Tao finally at about 8:30).
With this train, you may not need to stay in Surat Thani 1 night (when traveling by plane to Surat but not in time to the harbor Donsak the train passed through the roof of the night, save costs and period 1 night in Surat Thani).
The Travelling in Koh Samui
In K.Samui almost no bus, want to move to our use of cement or Song Theo, or you rent a car, motorcycle and bicycle for self use.
Ferry to Koh Tao, Koh Pha Ngan, Koh Nangyuan
From Koh Samui to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao: there ferry between the islands. If you want to stay overnight in the travel Tao Phangan or ferry, if visiting during the day is by tour only. To save travel costs, if away from the beach of Chaweng, you should opt Seatran ferry (ferry is located between Chaweng and Bophut), if away from Maenam beach should choose Lamprayah (ferries at Maenam always). In case the ferry company you want all the tickets had to choose another ferry company only, may pay additional pick-up fee (about 200baht / person) or take a taxi (and inexpensive).
Go Koh Nangyuan: This is one very very small island, but extremely beautiful, you should not ignore. From Samui, Phangan, Koh Tao offers day tours in 1 of the stops is Nangyuan. But so goes the extra period at Nangyuan very short, only about 1 to 2 hours. If you want to explore Koh Nangyuan more should stay overnight at Koh Nangyuan (Nangyuan Koh however only one single resort, very high price, evening activities do not have), plus you can also sleep Koh Tao. From Koh Tao Koh Nangyuan out only 10 minutes by taxi (price clause 300baht / person return, if you go east, you discount).
Motorcycle Rental in Koh Samui
Car hire in Thailand now full throttle newer cars, not so much anymore vehicle number. From airblade, click to scoopy or pcx ... always brand new car & rental price per day is 250-300 baht. Roads in Samui I see not as Phuket or Bali steep & run was more because the road was quite good.
Koh Samui Tourism
Koh Samui has many beaches, but if you do not have much time, you can choose to go 3 yards following:
Chaweng Beach: long beach, white sand, no subsidence feet away, very crowded. Therefore the resort is also very close to the sea so expensive. But prices in Chaweng massage service is Maenam and Bophut cheaper. There are plenty of options to stay in town.
Bophut Beach: white sand, legs go somewhat subsided, larger sand particles Chaweng, quiet resort suitable. At the Mermaid Resort Bophut beach has very special: there are long term aircraft roaring right on top, close to the sea with pool very cheap price, can be observed at close range aircraft (can play with children and Pointing few plane), not too noisy for 20-30 minutes and only 1 flight last night okay because the first trip was 6:00 am and the last tour is 11:00 at night.
Until Maenam Beach: very quiet, sandy yellow, slightly rough, go subsidence foot. Room rates also other beaches softer.
At the Fisherman Village Bophut, there are weekend night market, who like shopping and street food, you should go. At Maenam night market but also smaller, as in the 6th form You should try to eat Goong Kata (the Buffet with the pot roast 1). Prices, depending where about 100-140baht / person, always eat drop station. In addition there is one place Goong Fisherman Village kata.
In Samui there are several tour operators are happy ones, but go on about October onwards, the more water compared to the summer months of 7.8).
Koh Tao Island Depart
It must be said before the Koh Tao quite far inland, so if they decided to permanently week. If time is tight over the better in Samui. On hotels and motels, you should at the beach Sairee beach. This is the most crowded beach and the most beautiful of Koh Tao. Gentle sea hundreds of meters far away the country is still at the hips only, very suitable for children. Clear water, fine sand, white. Who knows, they may play snorkelling swimming pool watching the little fish distant one, no need to take the tour at all. However, Koh Tao, taxi and out of many can be dangerous for swimming. So when going to the beach you need to look around to see if the taxi does come or not.
This is the island specializing in diving services so if one wants to use the service, the diving here Ask price stays combined services, as this will save a lot of room price (free accommodation or increased approximately 200-400 baht).
The snorkelling tour to Koh Tao enjoyed. Clear water, can enjoy the many species of fish, coral, and other aquatic animals and plants colorful shimmering. This point is Koh Tao than Phu Quoc and Nha Trang in Vietnam. In Phu Quoc go snorkelling not seeing anything, which is all rocks and dead coral.
In fact the island is part of koh Nangyuan Tao, only 1 single is Nangyuan Island Resort Dive Resort, in addition to no other hotel. Generally if you went koh Nangyuan Tao, the mobile always, can take a taxi (300baht / person return), spoiled a good time to explore the island. If time is tight, then take the tour from Samui / Koh Phangan / Koh Tao, Nangyuan 1-2 hour stop in enough to take pictures and drink a glass of water. Tour price is not too expensive, ranging from children and 1400bath 968bath for adults (this price includes many services such as snorkelling, transfer, lunch ...). You can check the tour at http://hotels2thailand.com/koh-samui-water-activity/koh-samui-koh-tao-koh-nang-yuan-by-speed-boat-fullday.asp Page prestigious tour in Thailand.
Besides beaches and islands. You should also rent motorcycles around Samui island to visit tourist attractions other attractions. Rent motorbike or by tour. Attractions should be to:
Big Budda (big Buddha statue)
Big Buddha statue is located in the northeast area of the island, this is the must see No. 1 on the island. This work is 12 meters high, was built on a hill located so far away from travelers who could see was this statue. Around the area there are many shops selling souvenirs, but the whole area still features of religious solemnity. That's why tourists come here must wear long pants, jackets revealing. It is also intended to show respect for the religious monks here, as well as the beliefs of the locals.
Hin Ta and Hin Yai (Hon Ong Ba)
In the South of Lamai, you can see two huge rocks that the locals usually called something Hin Ta and Hin Yai, which means "stone him" and "her rock". The reason for such name because of the shape of two stone looks quite similar to the genitals of men and women. Around the area there are beautiful scenery, there are countries like to let you down swimming.
National marine park Angthong
These are populations islands, rainforest and the coast stretching from north to south of Koh Samui. From Ang Thong sailed to the island, the small island, visitors will be taken to Talay Nai admire the colorful coral reefs and explore the ocean depths with bewitching scenery.
Khunaram Wat, located a few kilometers west of Lamai. It attracts many tourists to visit it is the flesh of a monk was lost but still be preserved intact. What is his name and he has lost Loung Pordaeng in 1977. According to legend he had sat here and then died. Many people believe that because of the ability of meditation has kept his body still intact till today.
Hotels in Koh Samui
For the convenience of hotel room bookings in Thailand in general and Southeast Asia, I recommend that you put the last question Agoda.com, the price here is quite stable compared with the dealer and other intermediary firms. Plus they have promotions or discounts. You can see details of the resort and hotel rooms in Samui here.
Besides Agoda, if you go in Thailand, you can also book online before Hotels2thailand.com site. This is a reputable booking page with the Thai market, they always have good price and service is quick. This page is stronger than booking on Tour, but if used, the entire booking familiar and nothing is difficult. See the tour and Kho Samui accommodations at: http://hotels2thailand.com/koh-samui-hotels-water-activity.asp
Hotels in Samui, depending on your preference you like the beach or in town, of course, near the sea is higher than the share price of the room. In the city to pick up the car to go to the sea for bathing can compensate streetwear evening finished on sleep. Hotels near the beach, choose the following areas: Chaweng beach; Mae Nam; Bo Put; Lamai. Hotels in the area are close to the airport, far from the harbor. Price from $ 40 or more, if the hotel has a private beach, the price may be higher than 50 dollars.
Hotels near Na Thon harbor, near the bus station to other places, near the city (only about 20 of them), softer prices, some k.san increased private beach. Since this area is not very good sea, and calm.
Resort Samui Escape Resort, about 2 months before the price book is quite good, about 12k baht for 4 nights because it was the most expensive room of the resort, the beach front Bungalow rooms have private balconies, located close to the sea, rather than upstairs. Your Review Maximilan: Escape of little resort, from the mountains (the vertical ramp so you have to go across the street from the main resort) looking down at it as one slums. The space is small, grassy, many with close together, but alone in front Bungalow Beach private quite a bit more comfortable. Sea here is not really close to the edge of the sea where the water is always, no sand, just like in Phan Thiet area near Hon Rom Asian side, so from the balcony (Southerners called row three) my room was there can jump into the sea are really always, literally beach front bungalow, adjacent sea surface hehe, 1 style beach front quite strange. Regarding room rates, you can refer here.

Jungle Club
Several your review about Jungle Club Thien Nguyen, this is a small resort, said the resort is not because it did not have nothing but facility bedrooms & pool. Located on the cliff of the mountain, far away from all that noisy bottom. Jungle Club with a dozen bedrooms, located on the mountain overlooking Chaweng beach in the distance. Towering steep road up to the ordinary vehicles could not get on. Samui Heaven sunny chang chang, despite warm sea breeze but still so but up to heaven here then cool completely. Restaurants are also bars, cafes & the reception is where the beautiful view ecstasy. These brightly colored chairs, the seats do low low Thai style for guests to sit there watching the sea Sky vastly different peace noisy Chaweng area. However only those who like quiet, then perhaps new pleasure here because here there was nothing, no television, limited internet ... deserted quiet evening, want to go to book special-use vehicles go and not have to pay any taxi to get here. If you like a quiet resort and you may at Jungle Club, consult through the check-in here.
