Koh Samui Vacations

Being a relatively new tourist destination, many travelers don't think to look into Koh Samui vacation packages but the island of Koh Samui in Thailand offers a totally different perspective of the country than that of Bangkok. Situated in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui is home to about 60,000 people.

Major Attractions in Koh Samui

While the island is no stranger to tourist traps, such as water parks, spas and charter boats, its best attractions were on the island long before its tourist days. Rent a car in Koh Samui and visit Wat Khunaram, a Buddhist temple, is a brilliantly adorned site. It houses the body of the "mummy monk," a monk who elected to have his body mummified to serve as a reminder of the transient nature of life. Another relic, the rightfully named Big Buddha Temple, houses a 40 feet tall Buddha statue. While monks and other devotees visit the shrine daily, it remains a tourist sight, which is made known by the restaurants and gift shops on site.

Recurring Festivals and Events

Athletes from all over the world flock to Koh Samui for two annual events. Perhaps the better known Samui Regatta , an annual sailing tournament, garners a little more attention with its 500 competitors from 20 plus countries. The other sporting event, the Samui Triathlon still hosts 500 competitors, but with this event, you have better odds of getting in on the action yourself! Want to visit Bangkok but not keen on basing your Thai trip on that city? Since it's only an hour by plane, stay at one of the great hotels in Koh Samui and be even closer to the action.

Introduction

Thailand’s second most popular island, Koh Samui holidays are primed for travellers in search of a personal slice of paradise. Immersing you in miles of sun-warmed sands, bath-temperature oceans, wold-beating cuisine and no end of exotic exploration. Complete with luxury stays in some of the globe’s most magnificent resorts, where you can look forward to plenty of entertainment for families and some all-important you time for couples - making this the perfect destination for unforgettable holidays in Thailand .

Where to Stay

Holidays in Koh Samui are centred on the beach, meaning you’re more than spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a brochure-worthy stretch of sand from which to soak up the island’s generous climate. Ranging from the hustle and bustle of Chaweng Beach, to the timeless atmospheres found in the Fisherman’s Village on Bophut Beach. But from Koh Samui, you’re also well placed to discover the castaway delights of Koh Phangan - located less than thirty-minutes away via a scenic speedboat journey or by way of the ferries that depart regularly from Koh Samui.

Amari Koh Samui

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort

Six Senses Samui

Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas

Chaweng beach.

Koh Samui’s biggest and busiest town has sprung up around one of the island’s best beaches, where, unsurprisingly, some of the region’s most renowned restaurants, cocktail bars and iconic beachside venues make their home. But hidden away from the party atmospheres of Chaweng Beach are a collection of luxury resorts, led by the Amari Koh Samui : a favourite among families and couples for its stunning setting on Chaweng Beach. Featuring Thai-inspired buildings set beside the ocean or within landscaped tropical gardens, where no end of things to see and do are provided with complimentary watersports, an excellent kids club, an in-house dive centre, the state-of-the-art Breeze Spa and a majestic swimming pool that gazes over the Gulf of Thailand.

Bophut Beach

Home to one of the most elegant locations on Koh Samui, Bophut Beach is far less congested than Chaweng Beach and is where you’ll find the enchanting Fisherman’s Village. Home to a picture-postcard patchwork of traditional wooden buildings, markets and some of the best sands in all of Koh Samui. Bophut is also where some of the island’s finest five-star resorts make their home, including Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort . Inviting you to energise with complimentary watersports and the award-winning garden spa, or to simply admire the resort’s low rise interiors that overlook a central lily pond, palms and a stretch of golden sand. Elsewhere in Bophut, Bandara Resort & Spa is located in landscaped tropical gardens on a private stretch of beach and offers endless activities for all ages - including an excellent kids club, luxury spa and four fantastic swimming pools.

Choeng Mon Beach

One of the most upmarket regions on the island, Choeng Mon Beach is made up of a series of brilliant bays on the north-eastern tip of Koh Samui. This is also where you’ll find some of the region’s most majestic resorts, such as the Melati Beach Resort & Spa : cascading down a hillside and comprising complimentary snorkelling excursions, yoga sessions and a renowned kids club with the private pool villas among the best on the island. Or the beachfront SALA Samui Beach Resort , with its sensational rooms, villas and complimentary access to kayaks, paddleboards, yoga sessions, local language lessons and a beachside cinema. But perhaps the best of Koh Samui’s luxury resorts is the otherworldly Six Senses Samui . Perched on a jungle-covered cliff above the bright sands of Choeng Mon, where the resort’s leafy interiors are blessed with touches like a dramatic infinity pool, award-winning spa and soul-stirring views over the Gulf of Thailand.

Koh Phangan

Thailand’s fifth largest island, Koh Phangan is lauded - the world over - for its famous Full Moon Party. But there’s much more to this castaway paradise than simply dancing in the moonlight, which can be discovered during a holiday on the island or via a day excursion from Koh Samui. For the best exploration, choose quieter days in the lunar calendar - or the smaller (but still raucous) half-moon party periods - when the island’s charms are at their hedonistic height. This also makes it far easier to get a room, with one of the best resorts found at Santhiya Koh Phangan Resort & Spa : inviting you to seek serenity amid endless tropical forests, crystal-clear bays, a private beach, cascading poolside waterfalls and the award-winning Ayurvana Spa. Or alternatively, Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas reveals an extravagant island retreat. Located in the heart of the rainforest on a blissful stretch of beach, where you can look forward to stays in enchanting pool villas or beachfront and complimentary access to kayaks, paddleboards and yoga sessions.

Attractions

Holidays to Koh Samui reveal a repertoire of things to see and do, which extends far beyond the beach. Not to be missed is a visit to the historic Fisherman’s Village, with rustic buildings hosting chic boutiques, refined restaurants and bustling markets. On the northern coast, Big Buddha soars high above the island and is the most famous landmark on Koh Samui. For a slightly more macabre exploration of the region, the mummified monk at Wat Khunaram has been enlightening (and frightening) visitors since 1973. Perhaps the best of the island’s offerings, however, are its natural attractions, which come no more magnificent than Ang Thong National Marine Park: comprising a pristine archipelago of over forty islets, with towering limestone karsts and secret beaches, waterfalls, caves and lakes located in the Gulf of Thailand. On the southern coast, Na Muang Waterfalls spill down from the island’s highest points over ethereal purple rocks into large natural pools that are primed for swimming at the base of either waterfall.

Street Food

Beyond the island’s majestic offerings of sun, sea and sand, dining is the other top indulgence on Koh Samui. Featuring local favourites that are found in roadside restaurants, where specialities such as scorching regional curries, pad thai and freshly caught seafood take centre stage. For the best street food in Koh Samui, look no further than the Fisherman’s Village and get set to tuck into anything and everything from noodle soups and pork satay, to creamy ice-cream served in coconuts that will satisfy even the sweetest of tooths.

Koh Samui Restaurants

Not to be missed, however, are the world-leading restaurants that live mainly in the island’s luxury resorts. Led by the award-winning Dining on the Rocks at Six Senses Samui . Located at the tip of the headland, where an innovative menu can be sampled on wooden terraces or in an open-sided dining room that overlooks ocean and mountains. Banyan Tree Samui , meanwhile, is where you’ll find Saffron: serving a selection of authentic local cuisine fused with daring international flavours, which can be enjoyed in the company of views looking over the magnificent Lamai Bay. Full Moon in Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort has garnered countless awards for its contemporary cuisine, starring fresh ingredients from land and sea that are complemented by cultured wine lists and recommendations from the resident Salt Guru.

When to Visit

Koh Samui holidays can be enjoyed at almost any time of the year, with the region’s tropical climate welcoming average temperatures that hover between 28C and 32C. Koh Samui is also untouched by the southwest monsoon that affects most of Thailand, making the island a warmer and drier option than the likes of Phuket and Khao Lak between the months of May and September. Instead, Koh Samui is prone to see some rainfall between October and December with the most popular months to travel falling between December and April. Koh Phangan is best visited anytime from January to September, but can be overrun with travellers whenever there is a Full Moon Party.

Book a Koh Samui Holiday

Holidays in Koh Samui are among the world’s most desirable destinations for constant sun, crystal-clear bays and pristine stretches of beach. Inviting you to explore this castaway island and its enticing offerings of culture, cuisine and things to do on luxury stays in our hand-picked collection of resorts.

If you’re into your diving or you fancy doing a PADI course then nearby Ang Thong National Marine Park has a wonderful world of underwater adventure. Tropical fish, coral reefs and safe conditions, all-year-round, make Koh Samui an awesome area for first-timers and gnarly old experts alike.

Thailand’s second most popular island is all about the beaches. If you’ve ever fancied doing the whole ‘walking along a perfect beach at sunset’ thing with your other half, this is the place to do it. Miles of silky-soft sand, fabulous hotels and even the odd mummified monk or two (more on that in a bit), Koh Samui holidays are a combination of textbook-perfect beach holidays and exotic exploration. You don’t have to be a backpacker to try the delights of a  Thailand holiday . 

Epic beach views

No matter which hotel or resort you choose, you’re guaranteed one thing – amazing views. Koh Samui is where the world comes to relax and unwind, so our favourite resorts combine plenty of entertainment for families, and some all-important ‘you time’ for stressed-out adults. Here are a few of our top picks:

• Sheraton Samui Resort  – those palm trees! That beach! That infinity pool! It’s all about the beachfront at the Sheraton, where everything comes together to make you feel as if you’re a castaway on a tropical island (which you sort of are, but without the whole ‘frantically signalling for help’ bit). The pool butts right onto the beach, so it’s up to you – splash around in the pool or pop your snorkel on and explore the underwater world of the coral reefs, just yards from your room.
• Six Senses Samui  – If you want to see what the words ‘infinity pool’ really mean, this is the place for you. With stunning views overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, beach holidays in Koh Samui don’t get much better than this. Personal villas mean you have all the privacy and space you want. Traditional décor and design gives it a real island paradise feel.
• Buri Rasa Village Koh Samui  – Is this  really  a hotel? Because it certainly doesn’t feel like it… Walk out of your room and you’re immediately sinking your toes into soft, warm sand. Slip on a wetsuit and get exploring, because you’re minutes away from some of the best scuba spots in Thailand.

Family friendly hotels

Koh Samui holidays aren’t just for the grown-ups. If your kids love a bit of an adventure, wrapped up with plenty of beach time and some amazing activities too, then family holidays to Koh Samui are designed to bring all of you a little closer together during your trip to paradise. Koh Samui is perhaps a little more child-friendly than its big brother over in Phuket, with more kids clubs and activities for little ones, and fewer all-night thumping clubs and bars to keep them awake. Our favourite kid-friendly hotels in Koh Samui are:

• OZO Chaweng Samui  – fun and friendly, this is a real family hotel that combines kid’s clubs to keep the little ones happy while you chill out in the spa. It’s laid back meets action-packed adventure, so you can do as little or as much as you want.
• Amari Koh Samui  – Kid-friendly and with an all-day restaurant so you can refuel the little darlings whenever they get peckish, the Amari is a chilled-out spot that encourages you to kick back and relax.

Food and drink

Ever tried coconut jam? It’s a Koh Samui speciality and a great way to start your day. We all know that Thai food is amazing, but you haven’t lived until you’ve tried authentic dishes like the wonderfully eclectic ‘No Names’ (another Koh Samui speciality), or proper Thai green curry made with the freshest ingredients.

• The Boudoir, Maenam  – Cushions galore, low tables and comfortable, laid-back service make this exclusive restaurant one of our favourites. However, the food is French fusion, rather than Thai, so it’s a bit of an international experience!
• Tree Tops, Anantara Lawana  – This is an amazing spot where you’ll actually be dining in the tree tops (hence the name!). There’s only eight tables, so book well in advance.
• Dining on the Rocks, Six Senses Samui  – You’ll be so busy staring at the ocean view there’s a good chance your food will go cold! Don’t let it, though, because their New Asian cuisine is sublime.

Things to do

Yes, we know. Those beaches, huh? Seriously, who’d want to leave them? Well, tear yourself away for some excursions because this little island is jam-packed with some pretty crazy things to see and do.

• Mummified monks  – Meet Loung Pordang, Koh Samui’s very own mummified monk (what, doesn’t everyone have a desiccated monk lying around?) This holy man is revered by the locals, and sits peacefully in a cloud of incense smoke and floral tributes. The temple of Wat Khunaram Koh Samui is well worth a visit, even if you pass on seeing the monk.
• The Big Buddha Temple  – unsurprisingly, it has a very big (as in 15m tall) Buddha statue.
• Grandfather and Grandmother rocks  – maybe one to avoid if you have youngsters who like to ask awkward questions, as these two rocks are rather cheeky…
• Jungle jaunts  – got some adrenaline to get rid of? Strap in for a zipline ride through the jungle, or trek up to the Purple Waterfalls (not actually purple, but very, very pretty).
• Learn Yoga  – Slow things down a bit with a yoga session on the beach (you knew we’d end up back at the beach, didn’t you?) Classes are available all across the island, just ask at your hotel or resort for details.
• Chinese New Year  –  February  – fireworks, dancing dragons, and lots and lots of noise, the Chinese New Year is celebrated across the island in February.
• The Koh Samui Regatta  –  May  – we’re on an island, so it’s kind of inevitable that they have a big regatta! Head over to Chaweng Beach to watch traditional and modern boats set sail.
• The Moon Festival  –  Mid-autumn  – across the island you’ll find locals celebrating this important festival by offering flowers and candles at temples. It’s a great way to experience authentic Koh Samui life.

Getting around

• Electric bikes and bicycles – the island isn’t that big, so why not see it at a leisurely pace? Bike hire is available everywhere, and cycling is a fun way to get around. If you don’t want to get too puffed out, pick an electric bike that’ll give you a little bit of a boost up some of those hills.
• Bus – meet and chat to the locals on the island’s buses, which go everywhere. It’s slightly chaotic, but a great adventure (and very cheap!).
• Transfers – Koh Samui package holidays usually include transfers to and from the airport, so you don’t need to worry about getting a taxi to your hotel on arrival.

We’re in the tropics here, so the weather is going to be hot, hot, hot! Expect wall-to-wall sunshine and high temperatures in Koh Samui. Sea temperatures are similar to a warm bath, too, so you definitely won’t need a wetsuit.

• January–March  – You’re looking at averages of between 26-28°C with around 7½ hours of sunshine a day, making Koh Samui an ideal spot for a good dose of winter sunshine. February is also the driest month of the year.
• April–August  – things start to heat up, so expect the thermometer to hit the mid-30s (°C). Luckily, all of the island’s hotels have pretty good air conditioning to keep things cool, and a sea breeze makes lazing on the beach a pleasure.
• September–December  – Koh Samui really cranks up the heat towards the latter end of the year, with temperatures in the mid to high-30s – perfect if you love the heat.

Our Koh Samui holidays offer you everything you need for a luxury break. Don’t believe us? Then take a look at some of the best  Koh Samui hotels , and start planning your trip to paradise today!

8 Reasons Why the Dry Season Is the Best Time To Visit Thailand

These are eight reasons why the dry season, November to early May, is the best time to visit and explore Thailand.

Sarah Rand • May 17, 2024

Thailand is a popular tourist destination  located in the heart of Southeast Asia. The country is best known for its beaches, nightlife, low prices, cultural heritage, nice accommodations, and tropical beauty. However, it is not necessarily a place that travelers can visit at any time of year and have the same quality of experience. The best time to visit Thailand is actually from November to early May, the dry season. There are plenty of reasons why the dry season of Thailand is considered the best time to visit or even be in Thailand , and curious readers should take a look at some of the best things the country offers during this peak season. 

Average Temperature This Time of Year

• 85-95 Degrees F

As the name implies, Thailand’s dry season offers cool and dry weather. Lasting approximately six months, this period provides travelers ample time to enjoy Thailand’s renowned beaches and tropical scenery under the best weather conditions. For those seeking relief from the heat, visiting early in the season, around November and December, is ideal. Overall, travelers can expect minimal rainfall and warm temperatures during the dry season, making it an excellent time to explore Thailand.

• Travel Tip : January is the driest month of the year, so travelers who want to avoid rainfall should visit then. 

Bustling Bangkok to Save a Buck

While Thailand is considered a cheap place to frequent or live, Bangkok provides even more savings for those on a budget . The capital is relatively affordable compared to other places and is a nice place to visit during the dry season. Travelers should visit the city from November to February to fully enjoy the cheaper prices (and cooler and less humid weather conditions).

• Travel Tip:  Some locals mark up prices for tourists, so travelers should not hesitate to negotiate prices (within reason) if they notice they are being offered overpriced items. 

The Natural Environment of Phuket

Phuket  is home to many nature sites. For example, there are national parks, waterfalls and jungles, so travelers can have captivating experiences in Phuket’s natural environment. On the island, travelers often enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Many outdoor enthusiasts and hikers enjoy walking its trails for a calming experience.

• Travel Tip : Travelers who want to savor Phuket’s nature should schedule a slow-moving mangrove tour. These tours are a great outdoor activity and inform travelers of the ecological importance of mangroves. 

Koh Samet Island’s Beaches

Koh Samet Island  is an eastern seaboard destination in the Gulf of Thailand. It is about three hours away from Bangkok and is a popular getaway. Though a beautiful beach getaway that many locals and tourists enjoy, much of the island is seemingly untouched since a lot of it is protected as part of a national park. Some of the island’s popular beaches include Sai Kaew Beach, Ao Prao Beach and Ao Wai. The Sai Kaew Beach is considered the island’s most popular beach, being the longest and located on the northeastern part of Koh Samet Island.

• Travel Tip : Koh Samet is an excellent place for beachgoers to enjoy windsurfing, water skiing and snorkeling during the dry season.

Cultural Cuisine

Thai food is an undisputed top-tier food. There are many local and seasonal foods for travelers to enjoy during their stay in the dry season. Food is a big part of Thailand’s overall culture; during the dry season, there are a few things that travelers should try. A known Thai staple is pad thai, of course. However, travelers may be surprised at what the dish, prepared in an authentic kitchen in the country, brings to their palettes. A few more dishes to try include Kow Soi, Bamee Moo Daeng and Kae Med Ma Muang.

• Travel Tip : The traditional way to eat Thai food is to hold the spoon in the right hand. For many dishes in Thailand, there is no need for a knife since the foods are already separated and cut. 

Luxury Resorts 

There are countless  luxury resorts across Thailand . Many of the top-rated luxury resorts in Thailand are located in Koh Samui and Phuket. Phuket offers better access to outdoor activities since it is a nature lover’s paradise and has a larger hotel industry. Koh Samui, on the other hand, has more beachfront resorts, which means more options for travelers. However, luxury resorts in both locations offer travelers privacy, the best access to water, shuttle services, air conditioning, hot tubs, and more. The Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons villas are some of the top luxury resorts.

• Travel Tip : If you’re having difficulty choosing between luxury resorts in Phuket or Koh Samui, Phuket is more easily accessible, and Koh Samui offers a more rural ambiance. The best choice depends on each one’s priorities. 

Access to Cambodia 

Although Cambodia is a bordering country of Thailand, it is a place that many travelers make a priority to visit while touring Thailand. Seeing Thailand and Cambodia in one trip is an opportunity travelers should take advantage of since they have complementary cultures. The cheapest way to get from Bangkok to Cambodia is by bus, but a flight is significantly faster. Additionally, the dry season of Cambodia is around the same time as Thailand’s (November to March). Clear skies and cool temperatures in Cambodia allow visitors to enjoy the ancient ruins, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake and the capital city, Phnom Penh.

• Travel Tip : A bus from Bangkok to Cambodia takes around 11 hours and would likely cost around $25, while flights that cost under $100 take about an hour. Choose the option that works best for you.

Cultural Events

Technically, the Thailand Grand Festival happens near the end of the dry season. However, travelers can still enjoy the dry season weather during many festivities in Thailand. Thailand’s Grand Festival showcases many aspects of Thai culture. Travelers can appreciate the best Thai cuisine, educational workshops, Thai massages and more.

Songkran is another Thai festival that falls around the dry season. It is widely celebrated, prompting many public buildings and businesses to close during the festival . Known as Thailand’s most famous water festival, it celebrates the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year.

• Travel Tip : The festivals of Thailand often feature street parties. So they are not recommended for travelers who prefer to avoid loud music or playful water splashes in the hot sun. 

Traveling to Thailand during the dry season offers travelers many exploration opportunities. The cuisine, culture, and natural environment are most enjoyable during this time of year. These reasons make it clear why the dry season is the best time to visit Thailand.
