Upon arrival at Koh Samui airport, meet and greet our representative,  transfer to hotel, check in, refresh and relax. After a short relax, proceed for Thailand’s second largest island, you can't compare to other beach destinations like Phuket and Krabi, it is just as (or even more) worthy of a visit. The island is not just about the usual palm-fringed beaches, it’s also home to wonderful spicy Southern Thai specialities, immense lush rainforests, and many luxurious upscale resorts.


Start your adventurous trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park, an archipelago of 42 islands sitting in the Gulf of Thailand on a day trip cruise out in the ocean on a 45-minute boat ride from Koh Samui.


Next, go for Snorkeling amongst pristine marine life a marvel at untouched limestone cliffs not to miss the one, shaped like a praying monkey. Climb your way up to the peak of Ko Mae for a panoramic view of the gorgeous Emerald Lake (Talay Nai) hidden within. Consider, other activities such as kayaking and hiking, available too! If you’re not in the mood to get active, chilling by the beach is always a relaxing alternative.


After a long day out at sea, head over to Charm Eatery and Bar, where you can eat your heart out amid a warm, a cozy ambience and a fantastic view of the ocean, especially at sunset.

The shrine is mostly visited by the local Chinese community and Chinese tourists. In the vicinity, there are Chinese shops and restaurants. Tourists who drop by this area can understand more about Guan Yu and the history of Koh Samui’s ethnic Chinese community.


Visit the Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks (literally Grandfather and Grandmother rocks) are perhaps Koh Samui’s most popular rock formations, and for an amusing reason: they resemble the male and female genitalia. There’s a myth behind the formation of the rocks that we shan’t spoil, but if you’re in Koh Samui you might as well head down to the site to hear about the legend, and have a good laugh along with hilarious photo opportunities.


After a long walk, relax yourself in a Spa in some major spa chain in Thailand, specializing in a series of body treatments and packages, ranging from aromatherapy oil massages to Thai herbal steam saunas.


After the Spa, have dinner, a warmth and good home-cooked meals, run by a family for decades, this casual eatery has been a frequent go-to dining spot among the locals.

The golden, 12-metre seated Buddha statue sits on Koh Faan, a small island connected to Samui through a causeway. It’s best to visit in the morning as this is when locals can be seen making their way to the temple to make food offerings, and morning chants by monks can be heard. 


Spend your afternoon in Koh Samui, explore the Jungle Club, a restaurant and bar sitting atop a hill facing Chaweng Beach. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and hang out with your partner or best buds!

Surat Thani is known in Thai as ‘City of Good People’. It was once the seat of the ancient Srivijaya Empire. Today, this typical Thai town is a busy transport hub moving cargo and people around the country. Travelers rarely linger here as they make their way to the popular islands of Ko Samui, Ko Pha-Ngan and Ko Tao, but it's a great stop if you enjoy real Thai working cities, good southern style street food and nosing around colorful Chinese temples and Chinese shop fronts.


After a short relaxation, visit the Cheow Larn Lake. Start your adventure with your first stop at Rajjaprabha Dam’s or Chieo Lan Dam built in 1982, is a rock with fat-clay core dam that is 94 meters in height and 761 in length. The reservoir (lake) covers an area of 185 squares kilometers and boasts an electricity generating capacity of approximately 554 million kilowatt / hour.

Next, head to the iconic Pae 500 Rai floating resort for a delicious and Southern Thai buffet. After lunch, spend time in the heart of nature and do some birdwatching.
