Hello Sarah 😊

I think beach huts are the best places to stay on the islands. They are often very inexpensive, even though they are comfortable enough.

I am not keen on Koh Samui. The whole island seems to be heavily in the process of being torn up to build resorts. I didnt like it much. It is long past its hippy heaven days.

Hello sarah,

I have been to Ko Samui only in 2001 and its wonderful ... I dont know if it has changed alot now ornot,, but as i know it still as a ot spot for tourist. Why dont you go all the way to the south .. the small islands near to phuket, the. I dont remmber all the names, but my self i call it the "KOH FAMILY" hehe. They are near to each other and they are beautiful. I have visited , Koh Moh (or Mak), Koh Phi Phi, and Colanta. I think you should go to them if you have enough time.

good luck. Reply to this
