Ko Samui white sand beaches, an ideal cheap holiday. Ko Samui offers
the ideal cheap holiday!
Yes the sand is THIS beautiful in the south of Ko Samui. This is
among the finest and whitest sand I've seen. I've lived in Hawaii
for 6 years, Florida for 11 and New York City near Coney Island.
The sand at this particular spot is idyllic for pictures and gives
new meaning to the phrase "cheap holiday". Ko Samui can be yours for
just 110 baht from Don Sak Pier over the Seatran Ferry to Ko Samui
island for your cheap holiday. To get from Surat to Don Sak you can
take a bus or a van which both vary in price - but either one is
about 100 baht... a little more on the van if not enough passengers.
Vans can be found at any of the small travel agencies - they all
know the phone number for the van to come pick up Ko Samui goers -
so just stop in and ask the price at one. The prices are all similar
but if you want the cheapest holiday you'll stop in to a couple
different travel agencies. The buses are very cheap, but a bit slow.
You'll still get there in just over an hour on the bus. Buses are on
the main road in Surat Thani named, "Talod Mai" and it's close to a
large hotel with a spider web on the outside of the building. This
is also near the ECC English school which is on the corner of Talod
Mai and Chon Kasem roads.
This particular picture is from a beach on Ko Samui that is very
close to Nathan pier on the south side of the island. If you are
coming from Chaweng or Lamai side (the east side of the island) and
you come down the main road, you'll see a sign for boat pier - the
first sign is NOT Nathan pier... so pass it by. There is a sign for
NATHAN pier and you want to make that left turn.
Once you make that turn you'll see the ocean in front of you. Park
right there before the corner - be careful there are some no parking
signs there at the corner. Walk right down into the water. If it's
low-tide you'll see a scene similar to this one. The sand is
gorgeous. The Water - clear and clean. The water is very shallow and
if it's sunny outside the sand is very white and the water is like
glass. You can walk a very far distance out in to the surf and take
pictures. On your left is really nothing - and makes a good backdrop
for photos.
There is a small sandbar - a couple really, that are like small
sandy islands depending on what state the tide is in at the moment
you arrive. Cheap holidays on Ko Samui are the best! Likely you will
be the ONLY people in this water as there isn't a place to lay
towels. And, when it's low tide it doesn't look as good as it does
like when there is some water - like the picture shown.
This IS a place that you could bring a float to lay on and just be
lazy in the water for a few hours. If the sun is out you'll BAKE,
but the solitude might be worth it.
