Top 10 Day Trips from in Ko Samui, Surat Thani Province

February 3, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

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.

Had a great experience with amazing guides and staffes. Do not expect too far about having breakfast and lunch. I had a best Snorkeling in my life. Shouldve worn fins. Riding a speed boat was kinda scary when you leave, however, you are going to see yourself sleepzing in the boat when youre coming back.

Our day trip was fantastic—we had many of the sites to ourselves (due, sadly, to the many covid-related cancellations). The crew and guides treated us like royalty and brought us to amazing places. The sea kayaking through the looming limestone islands was a high point.
