Koh Samui is ranked No.3 in The New York Times’ 41 places to go in 2011. White sand beaches, abundant coral reefs and seas of palm trees make the island a preferable destination among travelers...all Tours and Activities in Koh Samui recommended by World Travel!
3. Koh Samui, Thailand
A toned-down version of Phuket, heavy on wellness and food.
As Thailand’s third-largest island, Koh Samui isn’t exactly off the radar. But the 95-square-mile tropical gem in the southern Gulf of Thailand, whose white sand beaches, abundant coral reefs and seas of palm trees were once a backpackers’ secret, has emerged as the stylish luxury alternative to crowded Phuket. Last month’s much-anticipated opening of the W Retreat Koh Samui on a private beach along the island’s northern shore was the chic hotel brand’s premiere in Southeast Asia. July saw the arrival of the 78 pool-villas at the Banyan Tree Samui and its bay-facing spa, which includes the island’s first hydrotherapy facility. It is burnishing Koh Samui’s reputation as one of Thailand’s top wellness destinations, along with the yoga and detox center at the Moroccan-inspired boutique resort Absolute Sanctuary, which turns three in April.Local restaurants have kept pace, luring international chefs who are transforming Koh Samui into an eating destination as well. Newcomers include H-Bistro at the Hansar Samui resort, where the French-Mediterranean and Thai menu was conceived by a former private chef to the Jordanian royal family, and Orgasmic by Chef Wally, which serves innovative cocktails and dishes like cocoa butter Hokkaido scallops and freshly caught white snapper with pecan-celery mash. The local scene goes into full swing at the weekly Sunday Sessions under the soaring thatched roofs at loungey Beach Republic, whose brunch, seafood barbecue and sunset D.J.’s are quickly becoming famous.

Koh Samui: Top Rated Tours Voted and Recommended by World Travel!
Ang Thong National Marine Park Snorkeling Adventure from Koh Samui5 reviews...Really enjoyed this tour, saw some beautiful sites. Tour guides were very good; because I was on my own they took lots of nice pictures for me. Free soft drinks and water on the speedboat. Boat can get pretty bumpy and on the way back everyone got absolutely soaked!

Koh Samui Airport Shared Arrival Transfer8 reviews...I booked 6 shared arrival and departures for my trip to Thailand. Everyone of them was excellent. The guide not only escorted me to the airport for departure but also ensured the booking in procedure went smoothly. On 4 of the 6 journeys I had the transport to myself. As well as the transport, the company arranged by Viator looked after me during my stay - offering trips and general advice. I would recommend them and, if travelling to the area again, I would certainly make them my first choice.

SSea Kayaking at Ang Thong National Marine Park from Koh Samui4 reviews...Wonderful day away from the resorts. As a family of 5 we were well catered for and all instructions were very clear. Kayaking is a good work out for the upper body as well.
