Although its size allows for exploration in a day, it offers all the amenities of a large city: large hospitals, supermarkets, and even cinemas. Its beaches may not be the most spectacular in the area, but there are still some beautiful spots.

It shares many characteristics: considerable size, extensive infrastructure, numerous roads, shops, massive resorts, hospitals, and a wide variety of bars. The island also boasts a mix of beaches, some very crowded and others more secluded.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lamai-ciudad.jpg\" alt=\"Lamai calle Samui\" class=\"wp-image-1035125\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lamai is the second most popular tourist district.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>What makes Koh Samui special?<\/strong> Primarily, it\u2019s its relatively remote location and manageable size, making it feasible to explore in a day. The journey to the Gulf of Thailand is more expensive and challenging compared to many other destinations, which helps keep it less crowded. It is often considered expensive, but this is mainly true in the central areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <strong>Samui\u2019s beaches<\/strong> may not be as spectacular as those found elsewhere, there are still some beautiful spots worth spending several days at. Moreover, from this island, you can access one of the most impressive marine parks in Southeast Asia. For diving enthusiasts, this region is renowned for its stunning underwater scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/playa-nathon.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1035123\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The coast of Nathon, near the ferry terminals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For those seeking an island in Thailand that combines development with numerous city-like services and a notable tourist industry, Koh Samui is the best alternative for avoiding the high crowds and prices of Phuket. If your travel dates fall during the European summer, the Gulf of Thailand archipelago is a great choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-to-go-to-koh-samui\">When to Go to Koh Samui<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many travelers worry about rain when planning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/en\/thailand-travel-guide\/\"><strong>a trip to Thailand<\/strong><\/a>, but the islands are enjoyable year-round. The Gulf of Thailand, with Koh Samui at its center, generally experiences minimal rain during the European summer, making it a popular destination for those with holidays in July or August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High Season (January to September):<\/strong> This period has the least rain, with some variations. February and March are the best months, offering pleasant temperatures and very little rain. April and May can be very hot, while June to September sees some rain, but significantly less than later in the year. This part of <strong>Thailand<\/strong> is ideal for a beach vacation in July or August.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low Season (October to December):<\/strong> While the Andaman Sea or the Koh Chang archipelago may have less rain, Koh Samui experiences a significant increase in rainfall. It is particularly important to avoid this island from mid-October to the end of November if you want to stay dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"recuerda\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-recuerda\" src=\"\/iconos\/cuandoir.png\" alt=\"Atento al consejo\"> <strong>Travel Advice<\/strong>: Check out our article on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/en\/the-best-time-to-travel-to-thailand-weather-rain-season\/\">the best time to visit Thailand<\/a><\/strong> for month-by-month climate information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-consider\">What to Consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Koh Phangan has been open to tourism for decades, so you&#8217;ll find almost everything you need there: ATMs, clothing stores, hospitals, diving centers, accommodations for all budgets, markets, and supermarkets. Moreover, most of its beaches are accessible by road. From our first visit to the last (over a span of 10 years), we&#8217;ve seen the development of new access routes to places that were previously difficult to reach by motorbike, especially during the rainy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"security-and-travel-insurance\">Security and Travel Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\nOn Thailand\u2019s islands and coastal areas, medical assistance often involves private hospitals, where costs can rise quickly depending on the situation. For a broader perspective on healthcare coverage and what it typically includes, you can consult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/en\/travel-insurance-for-thailand\/\">travel insurance options for Thailand<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/moto-samui.jpg\" alt=\"motos Tailandia Samui\" class=\"wp-image-1035124\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Motorbikes can be dangerous on Thai islands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"internet-and-connectivity\">Internet &amp; Connectivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\nAlthough many hotels and caf\u00e9s offer Wi-Fi, connectivity can vary on islands and beach destinations.

While flying is the quickest way, it is also quite costly. Traveling by land or sea takes longer, so the best option might be a combination of different modes of transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-by-air\">By Air<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Koh Samui Airport is unique, as it is a private airfield with limited traffic and does not adhere to the standards of the state agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the airport is beautifully designed and open-air, <strong>only Bangkok Airways operates flights to Koh Samui<\/strong>. This airline has a monopoly on the landing and takeoff rights, both to the capital and other national and international destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/aeropuerto-samui.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Samui airport is quite picturesque.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The cost of a round trip from Bangkok can be around 250 euros in the low season, though it can be higher.

This is similar to the method used to reach Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, as the same companies handle the three islands in the Gulf of Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can travel from Bangkok and other central destinations, as well as from Phuket and other southern areas.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ferry-samui.jpg\" alt=\"ferry samui\" class=\"wp-image-1035128\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A ferry bound for Samui, docked in Surat Thani.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The leading and safest company for this journey is Lomprayah, which is also a convenient option for those staying in the backpacker district of Khaosan, as they have buses departing from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is the slowest and least comfortable, as traveling from the capital can take between ten and thirteen hours, with a one-way price starting at 1,450 baht (about 40 euros).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boats dock at Pralarn Harbor, and a public van ride to the main beach areas costs around 150 baht. A taxi can be almost as expensive as the entire trip to the harbor, as taxis on <strong>Koh Samui<\/strong> are quite pricey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-combination-of-air-sea-and-land\">Combination of Air, Sea, and Land<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This involves taking at least three types of transport. The idea is to fly to <strong>Surat Thani<\/strong> airport, then take a minibus and ferry to the island. This method is also used for traveling to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy a combined ticket directly from AirAsia for all three segments and follow the instructions from their staff from the time you board the plane to Surat Thani until you reach the island.

However, the cost of the public van is about the same.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/puerto-samui.jpg\" alt=\"puerto Samui\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arrival at the port of Nathon with Seatrans.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The total trip usually takes between five and seven hours, including air, land, and sea travel, and is quite comfortable, with only about two hours spent on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, this method can be cheaper than taking the bus from Khaosan. AirAsia offers one-way tickets starting from 1,000 baht, which includes everything from the airport to the island, although this depends on the day and season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-by-boat-from-the-islands-of-koh-tao-and-phangan\">By Boat from the Islands of Koh Tao and Phangan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lomprayah operates many boats connecting <strong>the three islands in the Gulf of Thailand<\/strong>. Thus, a trip to Koh Samui can also serve as a way to visit Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, with travel between the islands taking about two hours at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-surat-thani-or-chumphon\">From Surat Thani or Chumphon<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether traveling from Surat Thani or Chumphon, boat companies offer tickets that include transport to the port (by ferry or bus) and boat transport (by ferry, catamaran, or speedboat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the links below, you will find different combinations, including direct pick-up from the airport if you prefer not to spend time in these cities.

Second, restaurants near the beaches but off the main roads often maintain reasonable prices, though they may offer lower quality or quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/langosta.jpg\" alt=\"langosta en Samui\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lobster at the popular Sabienglae.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, there are some excellent places to eat well in <strong>Koh Samui.<\/strong> Here are a few recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For Pad Thai enthusiasts, <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/ihLboJCnj7r9g52z6?coh=178572&amp;entry=tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Your Place<\/a> offers it right by the sea, with high quality and at a great price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want top-quality food at an affordable price, don\u2019t miss <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/BDNnECX59QLgxQN68?coh=178572&amp;entry=tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jam Restaurant<\/a>. It\u2019s not on the beach, but their fried rice and curries are sure to delight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/arroz-tomyam.jpg\" alt=\"arroz con tom yam\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fried rice with tom yam and shrimp.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Seafood lovers should visit <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Bpm5fpwPYwJvbgPE9?coh=178572&amp;entry=tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sabienglae<\/a>, a Thai seafood restaurant located on Lamai Beach, opposite the genital statues. It\u2019s very local, but worth the visit, especially for their lobsters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perched on a hill with some of the best views on the island, <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/xwirK9XRLWBy5KgG7?coh=178572&amp;entry=tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vikasa<\/a>, is a yoga and vegetarian food center that serves amazing breakfasts. The food is both tasty and healthy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vikasa.jpg\" alt=\"Vikasa Samui\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Having breakfast in Vikasa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shopping-and-nightlife\">Shopping and Nightlife<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Koh Samui has everything, including a shopping center with luxury and international brands, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/vKPJyMzKh1uG9GAn9?coh=178572&amp;entry=tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Central Samu<\/a><\/strong>., which is located in the tourist area of Chaweng. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island also boasts a vibrant nightlife, especially in Chaweng. Besides the bars found throughout the tourist center, clubs like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/RqVn3wmz7fFeiW26A?coh=178572&amp;entry=tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Green Mango<\/a> <\/strong>and <strong>Ark Bar<\/strong> offer a lively atmosphere. Be prepared for a lot of energy and perhaps a few people losing their temper, but it can be a fun experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-around-koh-samui\">How to Get around Koh Samui<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout this guide, we\u2019ve mentioned that Koh Samui can be expensive if you rely on public transport. Taxis can be costly for short trips, and with so many beaches, depending solely on taxis can be impractical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An alternative is renting a motorbike, but this is only recommended for those with experience. Traffic on the island can be heavy and dangerous, and an international driving license is required, although many tourists do not have one. If you have an accident without a license, your motorbike insurance may not cover it, even if the accident wasn\u2019t your fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renting a motorbike typically costs between 200 and 300 baht per day for the simplest models. If you are traveling with a small backpack, you can rent a motorbike at the port connecting to <strong>Surat Thani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A reliable option for rentals is <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Jxym5nuXk74Y9gJRA?coh=178572&amp;entry=tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Samui Goodwill<\/a>, an agency that also rents cars and allows you to leave a 4,000 baht deposit instead of your passport. This way, you can avoid the 150 baht cost of public transport between the port and the center of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-map\">Map<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the image and it will take you to a new Google Maps window with all the points of interest to travel around Phuket.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1H14bBZ3fwNuIFP6rQ4vd552dxcingXyh&amp;usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/koh-phangan-mapa.jpg\" alt=\"Mapa de Koh Phangan\" class=\"wp-image-38975\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Koh Phangan map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Phuket is the largest and most popular island in the Andaman Sea in Thailand, then Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand is similarly prominent within its region.
