Thailand
There isn’t another country that will try as hard to satisfy you as much as Thailand.
It is this hospitable nature of theirs that makes people from the world over visit them.
We had from families with little babies to large stag and hen parties at Koh Samui, with a higher index of the families here while there was a higher index of the younger party crowd at neighbouring Koh Phangnan.
Airport
It’s super small and superfast, but what makes this Airport unique from every other one I visited around the world is the section of complimentary food and snacks that they offer.
Every other. Airport will try to wean as much money out of you by overcharging even the smallest bottle of water, but out here you get a cappuccino and some great snacks, all for free.
Accommodation
We stayed at the Chaweng Beach resort and there is probably no better place to stay than this because it is right next to Ark Bar, one of the most happening beach clubs and it is also right opposite the most famous party street called Soi Green mango.
So its location is simply the best, while the resort is beautifully designed and offers great rooms and great food.
Activities
- Muay Thai.
The Samui International Arena host fights three nights a week where International fighters represent their country, so there were matches where a Kiwi, a German and even a girl from France fought the local Thai fighters.
It can get very intense, especially if you have ring side tickets, and it takes a bit of stomach to watch them and not recommended for everyone, but if you have the appetite, it’s an absolute thrill to watch.
- ATV
Another fantastic activity here since you get to travel the interior roads and visit the highlights of the city like the big temples and the views from the Mountain.
However, safety is a concern. We had a minor incident in our group and that was enough to leave our poor friend with three broken ribs and a fractured arm.
- Halfmoon and Fullmoon parties
This was the single biggest reason for me wanting to visit this place as I’ve heard so much about these parties and wanted to check them out for the last 20 years.
and I must say it was worth. For us group of 40 year olds, it ended up getting a bit extreme, and we needed to call an emergency ferry on the way back.
But just like the party, this is also organized seamlessly.
- Ang Thong National Park
This is another recommended activity here for those who wish to do snorkeling or kayaking and getting more of the nature.
We skipped it though, because waking up at 9 AM to do the activity was a bit too much given all the partying every night.
