After breakfast, we went to book the buggy trip we had been looking at the day before. We had first asked about the trip which included Koh Samui elephant trekking without realizing it included this, so we wanted to know how much it was without this activity. Turns out it was 2200 with and about …
We enjoyed the first trip around Koh Samui that fun that we decided to hire a moped for a second day. We obviously didn’t get to see everything the first time so we set off to see some of the other side the island had to offer. That was the plan anyway, didn’t quite got …
Today we went on a trip to the Angthong national park which is a collection of 40 or so islands off the north west cost of Koh Samui. They sell trips to here all over the place in Chaweng, Lamai, Bo Phut etc and it is worth going into a few different tour agents to compare prices before …

Moped hire is very popular in Koh Samui but i am always a bit weary about hiring vehicles in her was no exception, especially as many seemed to want to keep you passport as a retainer. Luckily for us our hotel had moped rental so we decided to hire it from our hotel/resort (Centara Villas), …
Lamai is basically a much smaller version of chaweng with a strip of shops and a stretch of beach running parallel to it. We got there early in the morning and it was quite quiet and stayed like that most of the day. It did get a bit busier at about 4/5pm when the night …
Football golf is quite good fun in Koh Samui. Provides a bit of a change to water sports and no need to carry loads of clubs around with you like real golf.
Journey from samui airport was about an hour which may be a bit far for some people as it is probably about a 45min drive from here to chaweng beach which is the biggest and liveliest place in samui and about 20 minutes from lamai. At first we thought we had made a mistake …
Arrived in koh samui thinking the airport would be a very small shack. I was pleasantly surprised as it was infact many shacks:). No only joking the airport is made up of quite substantial and well made wooden buildings. Don’t get me wrong it’s still very small but seamed really nice, good quality and perfectly …
We booked a taxi pickup to take us from the Abloom apartments to the air port. We actually booked it in Bangkok, during one of the tours. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend booking through these guys unless you at least have an idea of what you are expecting to pay and know the deal they are offering you …
We got our bags and went to the pickup point to get our taxi we had booked in bangkok…..30 mins later still waiting and starting to think that guy on the street selling rolex watches for £14 wasn’t a genuine travel agent!;) I jest of course but this is the transfer we booked in Bangkok …
