How to organise vacation on Koh Samui

Date of publication: 04 Jan 2019 | Updated: 31 May 2024

It is no secret that Thailand is one of the most popular honeymoon and vacation destinations, but many questions remain open.

I suggest everyone organize their vacation in the following manner, based on my experience, so to speak:

1. The first days are for recovery and acclimatization, a perfect time to start your adventure and discover the charm of Thailand

2. A couple of days for a sightseeing tour of the island.

  • Big Budha Samui is the most famous attraction on Koh Samui, a 12-meter statue Of the Golden Buddha.
  • Observation ground, from which you can see the whole stretch of Chaweng beach. You can take a beautiful panoramic photo of the background of the turquoise sea and white sandy beaches.
  • Wat Plai Laem is a temple complex of several buildings; the most interesting is a statue of a multi-armed Chinese goddess and a big Chinese Buddha ("Thick" Buddha). There are many colorful buildings, sculptures, and a small pond with a huge amount of fish.
  • Waterfall Namuang is a 2-level waterfall, impressive in size.

3. In the middle of the holiday is the best time to find vacation photographer to memorize your trip with great photos.

If you don't think about it in advance, finding available one can be difficult.

At the beginning, you will not have time to sunbathe and recover; the end is always turmoil.

4.The last days of vacation are better to spend on something to enjoy the sea and beaches fully.

And, of course, use sun-protective cream. Always! Even when it is cloudy. Sunburns on your face and shoulders are very difficult to edit in Photoshop.

It often happens that couples come without a clear plan and only hurry to organize a shooting or catch something by the end of the holiday.

It is better to plan everything. What do you think?
