We travelled via “Seatran” from Koh Samui straight up to Koh Tao ready for Rob to complete his PADI open water scuba diving certification. I did mine back in 2006 in Turkey and was keen for him to catch the bug! We left Koh Samui at 13:30 and had arrived in Koh Tao by 15:30,
Whilst we were visiting Koh Samui, lots of people had mentioned Chaweng beach was a good place to go, but the afternoon we decided to visit, was the afternoon it poured with rain! However, we did find some other things to do in Chaweng: Thai Massage There are loads of parlours to choose from in
As I have already mention in my “Arriving in Koh Samui post ” there are plenty of places eat and some cool spots to relax on the beach in Bophut. Although there are loads of restaurants to choose from without a reservation needed; Rob is great at researching the best spots to go before we go on
This place is definitely a complete tourist/traveller trap but the views are really magnificent! We went with “Samui island tour” and paid around £30pp for the Kayaking, sightseeing and snorkelling package. We had picked up a leaflet in Bophut and rang the number to organise but could’ve possibly negotiated the price if we had decided
I was very excited for my first trip to Asia and my first holiday with Rob! Although we were originally looking to go to Bali, the prices of flights to Thailand couldn’t be beaten and the prospect of exploring Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao definitely provided a great second choice! We flew with Finnair
