GOOD TO KNOW With the long stretch of the island, there are many places that can serve everyone needs. Both jam-packed mass tourism destinations and authentic tranquillity spots. All in all, tourists should travel responsibly in order to preserve the true beauty nature that no manmade products can be replaced. of-the-pants excitement. You can be exactly as intrepid here as you want to be. You can follow the crowds, or strike out on an independent activity on land, through dense rainforests, or on the sea, between myriad unspoiled islands on a sea teeming with life. Here you will never be bored and you can choose to do as much or as little as you want to. As if there was not already enough to see and do here, the year is also punctuated on the island by a series of events and festivals. There is a sailing regatta in May or June each year and in September you can come here to enjoy a week long festival of jazz music. Nightlife is buzzing and there is always something going on, for all tastes, throughout the year. Of course the food is also top-notch and you will be able to find plenty of fine dining in beautiful spots around the island. Koh Samui really is one of those holiday destinations that does not like to be pinned down. It is capable of being all things, simultaneously, to all people. It is capable of being exactly as wonderful as you make it, and there really are a wide variety of amazing vacations to be had here. If you have an imagine of the blissful beauty of Thailand’s islands then Koh Samui is likely to be the embodiment of those images – only better than you ever dreamed that it could be. SAMUI & PHANGAN Koh PhaNgan Koh PhaNgan is mainly known for its full moon parties that draw thousands of visitors every month but the island has much more to offer than just endless parties on the beach. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh PhaNgan reminds one more of a wonderful tropical paradise known from classic novels and adventure movies such as Alex Garland’s 1996 bestseller ‘The Beach’ where Koh PhaNgan was prominently featured. Imagine a mountainous area that is fringed with idyllic coastlines and beautiful turquoise water, fishermen with small wooden boats and lonely roads. Forget about mass tourism or a loud party crowd – this is how Koh PhaNgan really is. The unspoiled nature invites for hiking along scenic trails and waterfalls while dive enthusiasts are welcomed by the coral rich reefs here. A fair range of accommodation offers something for everyone while there is no influx of mass tourism here. SHOPPING Central Festival Samui This is Samui’s main shopping mall, entertainment and dining location– a huge retail space with three stories and about 90,000 sq m of shopping area. There is a wide range of shops here to explore in a modern setting. Bophut Plaza This is a collection of open-sided boutiques and stores along the main street of Bophut’s Fisherman’s Village. Find everything from bespoke tailored shirts and suits to jewellery and hand-carved items. Fisherman’s Village Walking Street This is a colourful and lively market that is held every Friday from 5pm-10pm in Bophut’s Fisherman’s Village. This is part of the ‘walking street’ phenomenon that has taken Thailand by storm over the last five years or so. Chaweng Beach Road Shopping You will find a whole range of beachwear, sports and leisurewear items on sale along this shopping road, which is a great place to pick up some unique bargains for your holiday. Saona Collection This is an attractive boutique that caters to the beachwear and fashion needs of lady shoppers, with items on sale that are cool and fashion forward in their designs. Others places to shop: Samui Hot Club Chaweng Walking Street Buddy Oriental Plaza Maenam Walking Street Lamai Night Plaza THINGS TO DO Sea Speedboat Safari Discover Wao Island. Tai Phow Island and Mae Kho Island within the Angthong National Marine Park on a sea safari in an exhilarating speedboat ride across the brightest blue seas beneath a delightful sun. Snorkelling in the Gulf of Thailand What could be better than taking a relaxing snorkelling excursion somewhere in the waters off the shores of Koh Samui or in the waters of the National Marine Park. Discover beautiful reefs and unique sub-sea ecosystems. Eco Jungle Safari Trek on the back of a majestic elephant, take in a monkey show, travel through the lush undergrowth in a jeep or simply take a stroll through the dense vegetation beneath the trees. Experience the best of the interior of this tropical island. Charter a Catamaran Get a unique sailing experience when you charter this winning pleasure craft. This is a very fast, twin mast catamaran which has room for 3-8 crew on board. Set sail for an intense and amazing islandhopping adventure. Kayaking in Angthong National Marine Park One of the most tranquil ways to explore the Angthong National Marine Park is to get out there by paddling your own kayak across the waves. Hear the gentle lapping of the water and gaze in awe at the sea and the islands that nestle jewel-like between the waves.
