Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best beach to stay on in Koh Samui?
Chaweng is best for first-timers — most hotels, restaurants, and nightlife. Lamai suits couples and mid-range budgets. Bophut/Fisherman's Village is charming and walkable. Maenam is the quietest with the most local feel.
How do I get to Koh Samui?
Fly direct to Samui Airport (USM) — Bangkok Airways operates most routes from Bangkok (1 hour). Alternatively, fly to Surat Thani (URT) and buy the bus-and-ferry ticket at arrivals (5–7 hours from Bangkok, about ฿1,500–3,000 all in, significantly cheaper). High-speed ferries also run from Don Sak pier.
Is Koh Samui expensive compared to other Thai islands?
Samui is generally pricier than Koh Phangan or Koh Tao, primarily because Bangkok Airways has a near-monopoly on flights. Hotels at every tier are 20-30% more than equivalent stays in Krabi. However, quality and infrastructure are consistently higher.
