All highlights on Koh Samui
Namuang Waterfall 2
Hidden in the jungle of Koh Samui is a real gem: Namuang Waterfall 2. It is located above its sister waterfall of the same name, Namuang 1. The path to the top is very adventurous and great fun! It goes over old wooden bridges, over natural stony terrain and up steep cliffs. In some places, you can shimmy up using ropes to cross larger rocks. At various stages, you will see small natural pools and beautiful photo opportunities - and at the very top:...
Namuang Waterfall 1
he mountains and forests of Koh Samui hide some interesting highlights, including the picturesque Namuang Waterfall 1. It has the number because there are two of them, but they are both quite different (you can find out more below). Namuang Waterfall 1 is located fairly centrally on the island and is easily accessible by scooter or car. Upon arrival at the site, a parking fee of 20 THB is charged per scooter...
I-Talay (Taling Ngam Beach)
On the west coast of Koh Samui, there is an almost untouched stretch of beach and a real insider tip: I-Talay. We discovered this special place by chance on a scooter and have to admit that we think it is the most beautiful beach on the entire island so far! Behind "I-Talay" is actually a beach bar with a lovingly decorated garden in which eye-catching, recycled works of art are on display. The bar is located in the bay of Ao Taling Ngam, a rather unknown place...
Koh Nang Yuan
To the north of Koh Tao is a small group of islands connected by a sandbank. Koh Nang Yuan is a must-visit for all travelers and is a real postcard motif! Pure nature, mountainous terrain and crystal-clear water. You can only get to this place by boat - either by cab boat (from Sairee Beach, approx. 300 THB p.p. for a return trip) or on a guided day tour, e.g. from Koh Phanganª or Koh Samuiª. As the...
Koh Taen
On a boat trip to the popular Pig Island south of Koh Samui, you can also make a stop in Koh Taen on the way there or back. Especially with a private longtail boat, it's worth negotiating a daily price (usually around 1000 THB per person) and exploring as many islands as possible! You can also book tours in advance with GetYourGuide. Koh Taen is the largest island in the Samui archipelago - here you can...
Koh Madsum
Koh Madsum is a small island south of Koh Samui, which you can reach by cab boat or on a guided tour. This place is best known for its many island pigs. The pigs live right on the beach and are very open to people. You can watch them play and take some cool souvenir photos together. You should also pack snorkeling equipment, as you can spot parrotfish or even reef sharks in the colourful underwater world! For...
Koh Phaluai
Koh Phaluai is an untouristy island to the south of Ang Thong National Park and a real natural paradise! You won't find this place on a guided tour, and cab boats only operate very rarely. However, if you are on Koh Phangan, you can include this place in your plans. The passenger ferry Raja Ferry runs several times a week between Donsak Pier and Koh Phaluai. For around 400 THB per person, you can reach the island in around 1 1/2 hours....
Ang Thong National Park
Ang Thong National Park (Mu Ko Ang Thong) is located to the west of the two islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. Due to its surreal rock formations, it is on almost every bucket list. The place consists of numerous limestone islands and lush green vegetation. There are several highlights such as the emerald green Emerald Lake, the famous Monkey Rock or the beautiful viewpoint Phu Jun Jaras. Other activities include snorkeling, kayaking and hiking. The place served as inspiration for Alex...
