Samui may only be the third largest Island of Thailand after Phuket and Koh Chang, but it has a surprisingly long list of things to do and see. Our advice therefore is to make sure you stay long enough to experience it all, because apart from beautiful palm fringed beaches on which to laze away your days and soak up the sun it will be worth your while to organize sightseeing day trips, adventure trips or do some excursions on your own.
While all beach resorts in Koh Samui can arrange excursions and sightseeing tours the plethora of tour operators on the island will constantly offer their services which allows you to compare prices and get the best deal. Alternatively, rent a jeep at anything from 600 Baht per day and explore the island at your own time and leisure. The more adventurous can also rent a dirt bike, grab a map from your resort indicating all sights worth seeing and have a fabulous day doing something different.
