Things to do in Ko Samui, Surat Thani Province: The Best Walking Tours

May 19, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charming sensibility is still present today. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants and pubs are perfect spots to experience the sunset. There aren’t many other places where you can bask in the camp of a cabaret show and the solemnity of a Buddhist temple. As far as the latter goes, Wat Plai Laem is a magnificent vision of gilded red rooftops and a massive spindly-armed statue of Guanyin.

Pickup from your hotel to Samui Elephant Sanctuary to meet the home of 6 retired elephants which is listed by World Animal Protection. Watching the wildlife animals play in the mud and bathe in the ponds by themselves and you will learn from our experienced tour guide with our elephants. The Thai vegetarian buffet will be serves during the time you watching the elephants enjoy their own time. This program is suitable with all ages and please note that the activities is not offer bathe and muddy with elephant.They need space to splash, roll around, submerge, and cover themselves in mud. Elephants like peace and quiet, not loud groups of visitors throwing mud or buckets of water at them. If people are crowding around them, it is very stressful for the elephants. Also, the mahout (handler) needs to control the elephant by forcing it to stand still or lie down, not giving any freedom for the elephant to play.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Coffee and/or Tea

It is free for Thai people. Why should foreigners pay 200 baht to enter a shopping mall. It is not a real floating market but made up for tourists.

We had two excellent crew members Khun First and Khun View who took care of us, including taking amazing pictures. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing experience. The peacefulness of floating in the kayaks and experiencing this beautiful space. was one of the top highlights of our trip. The guides were so fun and informative.

We had an afternoon trip with Yankee as our guide. We had a small group of four and Yankee was very personable and telling us a lot about the islands, the pigs and the region. The snorkelling was great, we had a great spot where we could explore everything in the water and feeding the pigs was fun. Dinner was good and way too much for us! We had great conversations with everyone in the group and have enjoyed the whole experience, with Yankee being an excelltn guide. PS. Watching the sunset with Creedence Clearwater Revival playing in the background was great!!
