Top 10 Reasons to Visit
Ko Samui Island, Surat Thani, Thailand


There are so many reasons to visit Ko Samui Thailand for your holiday...

These are the top 10 reasons to visit:

Buddhist temple on Ko Samui island, Thailand.10. Ko Samui is a CHEAP HOLIDAY! You can't beat the prices, once you arrive by plane everything is so much cheaper, even intra-country flights. Cheap flights, cheap train, food, buses, ferry rides, internet access, hotel reservations!

9. The food on your holiday will be incredible - if you want it to be! There are some great Thai restaurants on Ko Samui, but also there are some great Indian restaurants and Italian restaurants. There is a wide variety of food and places to get it from. Your hotel might have incredibly delicious Thai food.

8. The holiday starts as soon as you arrive because you will slow down and if you're not driving all over the island you'll relax on your holiday quickly because the cheap prices for everything won't stress you out. Compare this cheap holiday in Ko Samui with an expensive holiday in Paris for instance. You will actually RELAX in Ko Samui.

7. The coconuts, rambutans and other fruits are especially delicious on Samui. Samui's climate is varied with hot temperatures at sea level, but cooler temperatures better for some fruits and vegetables at the higher elevations in the mountains. The coconuts from the mountains are world-class and if you can, you should treat yourself to fresh ones any opportunity you can get.

6. The water is warm all year round, and in the off-season the water is cool enough to be perfect for cooling off after waterfall trekking.

4. There are many internet cafes for high-speed downloads and uploads. There is even a business center that offers WIFI access outside or indoors in their air-conditioned facility. You can use their computers or bring your laptop.

3. There is world class diving available close to the islands with day trips or multi-day live-aboard boat trips that make for an incredibly fun and yet cheap holiday! A friend of ours did a 4 day liveaboard with 12 dives for just 15,000 baht (under $400 USD). THAT is a cheap diving holiday!

2. There are over 7 waterfalls on the island that are fairly easy to access and quite awesome on the experience scale. These are all FREE to visit and you will get a little hiking in and feel better about not laying at the beach drinking beer Singha ALL the time.

1. The water is calm and you can always find a quiet place on the island for your holiday. Ko Samui is not a very small island like Ko Tao, you can always find a place to go where there are few people or no people!


Hope your cheap holiday on Ko Samui is fun and everything you want it to be!
