 The
beautiful island of Koh Samui
is one of Thailand's premier destinations for both packages
and backpackers.
The
two main beaches, Chaweng
and Lamai on the
east coast, are now fully fledged tourist havens with
luxury resort complexes, numerous bars and restaurants,
car and bike rental, plus just about any entertainment
you need.
Not
many real low price places are left due to Koh
Samui's popularity but Thailand's 3rd largest
island is definately worth a visit. There are still
a few bargains to be found for accommodation but these
are gradually moving out to make way for more development.
While
Chaweng and Lamai
are the best nightspots, the best mid-range places
to stay are on Bophut,
Big Buddha and Maenam
beaches on the northern coast.
The
island is crowded virtually all year round but there
are still a few secluded bays where you can escape
the crowds and away from the main centres there are
some beautiful spots to explore.
Dive
shops are numerous and offer good deals for trips
to nearby Koh Tao,
some of the best scuba diving
in Asia.
