Review by member from birmingham

We have been to koh samui many times and still have so many things we would like to see and do. We prefer the boput/bang rak areas to chawang as the restaurants are endless and superb whether you are eating in a local thai restaurant or fine dining at one of the many beach restaurants. This trip we visited the Jungle Club, a mountain retreat with the most breathtaking views of the island, spent days at the beach, visited the cinema, bowling alley, golf club to name a few all within minutes of our villa.

Review by Simon from Leamington Spa

What an experience !! Take the friendliest people you have ever met, multiply their niceness by 10 and you still aren`t close to how warm, kind and genuinely beautiful these people are.

From the moment we arrived at the World`s coolest airport, we felt welcome.

The most challenging part of the experience is leaving your European rules, standards and experiences behind. If you make comparisons, you will be eternally frustrated. Don`t ask why can`t I, ask how do I !!! Finding that special beach or that fantastic restaurant isn`t as easy as you might think. Explore, take a chance and above all don`t be afraid to try something different. You won`t be disappointed !!

Go all the way round the island, you won`t believe how different it is in the East from the West or the South from the North.

Get up early, the sunrise is awesome.

Go to Bophut Diving School, ask for Sean, and learn to Dive !! Better still, learn to dive with your children. It is truly magical !!

Visit Samui...... as soon as possible. It won`t stay like it is forever. ... more

Review by Lisa from Leeds

Some travellers are snobbish about the popular Thai islands, considering everything that isn't absolutely perfect to be "spoiled"or "too touristy". They pride themselves on finding an authentic island experience but Koh samui is an authentic island experience - It is a working island and it's main work is tourism so Yes, you will find other people but Yes you will find stunning beaches, a wide variety of restaurants, lots to see and do and the electricity won't go off ( in general!) after 10pm. The main beaches are busy and buzzy but get around the bottom of the island or Maenam, Bang Po and Big Buddah and you will often have the beach to yourself (apart from the odd local and his water buffalo - don't ask!)

So there, if you're after an artificially created Robinson Crusoe experience, don't go to Samui, but if you like beautiful beaches, warm seas and good food I'll see you there!

So good I want to go back

I visited Koh Samui and Koh Phangan and had a wonderful time.
Great food, fantastic excursions and friendly locals - nothing was too much trouble.
I hope to go back this year.
