Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charming sensibility is still present today. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants and pubs are perfect spots to experience the sunset. There aren’t many other places where you can bask in the camp of a cabaret show and the solemnity of a Buddhist temple. As far as the latter goes, Wat Plai Laem is a magnificent vision of gilded red rooftops and a massive spindly-armed statue of Guanyin.

On An Authentic Samui Experience you will avoid the crowds and explore the cultural landscape of the island, seeing it from a local perspective. The early start is a great chance to spot monks walking barefoot around the neighbourhood while the local people make merit offering them food. This is the ideal time to miss the noisy crowds, by visiting the local temples at a more solitary, reflective hour. Take in the magnificence of the Big Budda and Wat Plai Laem Temples as they should be; in peace. Visit the Hinta Hinyai (Grandmother & Grandfather Rocks) and discover parts of the island that you didn’t know existed. This tour also gives superb photo opportunities. Capture uninterrupted and gorgeous photos of the sites without the busy crowd. *the tour starts early in the morning but to experience the island at this time is truly beyond compare. you'll also be left with a full day of leisure and enjoy your hotel/ villa’s facilities all throughout the rest of the day.
Inclusions: Fresh, tropical fruits of the season , Local, English speaking guide , Return hotel transfers , Thai Set Menu lunch, All Fees and Taxes
Exclusions: Gratuities (optional) , Any personal expenses or purchases , Beverages
It was great experience to get the private car from Samui Airport to our hotel in Chaweng. It's easy to find the guide who was at the arrivals with our names on a signboard. Only take less than 5 minutes until the car arrived to pick us up. We also booked the return 3 days later to the Airport Definitely recommended!

Just a short boat trip from Samui is Koh Phangan, famous for its full moon party at Haad Rin Beach and as beautiful island getaway.The island was in fact a longtime favorite of past kings of Thailand. Specially Rama V, or Chulalongkorn who named the main island river ‘Than Sadet’ (Royal river) and leaving his royal seal engraved on a rock at Than Sadet Waterfall. Recently steps have been taken to make Koh Phangan into a more family-friendly tourist destination, promoting the Island’s wealth of natural attractions. There is an abundance of wildlife from monkeys to bird of paradise and then there is the amazing underwater world that surrounds Koh phangan; with over 10kms of vibrant coral and 20 local dive sites. More than half the island designated as National Park and Ko Phangan has more than 80 km of pristine rain forest with diverse flora and fauna. .

It is free for Thai people. Why should foreigners pay 200 baht to enter a shopping mall. It is not a real floating market but made up for tourists.
