Koh Samui - what to do?

[Princess Jessie]

Hi, Can anyone recommend things to see do in Koh Samui or is it really a "lying on the beach " place?

 

There for one day on a HAL cruise

 

Many thanks

You could go to the Fishermans' Village and combine it with a beach if you wish.

Depends on what you are looking for. The beach is definitely the highlight but, there are some more actives options too. You could do some hiking, kayaking etc or if it is your one and only Thai stop you could see some temples, but they will not be as spectacular as you could see elsewhere.

Hi, thank you for your ideas... we have two days in Bangkok.. stopping at Laem Chabang..

 

So will do the temples there!

 

I think the ship docks / tenders on the west side near Na Thon... have been told to avoid the beaches on the East side as very commercialised.

 

Am happy with beach... don't particularly want to energetic...

 

Someone suggested going to the Anantara Hotel? Anyone know anything about it?

 

Is it possible to go to the hotel and spend time there using its facilities?
