| You don't have to spend a fortune to have a great time in Samui |
You need not blow away your lifetime savings when visiting
the ShaSa Resort in Koh Samui. Some sensible budgeting will help
you to enjoy this popular destination’s pristine beaches and experience the quaint
Thai culture without costing you an arm and a leg. Here are a few tips on how
to save money in a trip to Koh Samui:
Manage travel funds well
Determine the bank fees which you may be charged if you use
your bank ATM card during your trip. The bank fees imposed on such transactions
are often substantial, and it could be a more cost-effective alternative to go
for travelers checks instead.
Cut corners
on local transportation
It is definitely more convenient and faster to fly in from
Bangkok to Koh Samui. However, the air fare can be prohibitive for tourists on
a limited budget. The less expensive choice is to use a combination of overland
and sea travel facilities to the island. Bus and rail transports are available
in Bangkok to the jump-off ports to Koh Samui. Going by these transport modes,
you can choose from first-class or economy choices, which can further reduce
the amount of money you’ll spend on a holiday on the island. Moreover, the
land-sea trip itself can serve as a highlight to vacationing in Koh Samui.
Choose the
beach resorts
Great value can be found in lodging and accommodations at Koh
Samui beach resorts, and their rates are very reasonable. You can even opt for
the less expensive non-aircon rooms in some of these establishments. The tropical
climate in the island is surely warm, but with a choice of a room with good
ventilation and a fan, a cool and comfortable stay can be assured. The ShaSa resort is great place to stay if you want have a relaxing stay in Koh Samui,
Be sensible
on travel accessories
Don’t invest in costly hiking boots; light and inexpensive
footwear will do for your Koh Samui visit. Also, go digital in documenting your
island vacation. Films and color slides are more expensive to process.
Likewise, forego sleeping bags if you intend to have some overnight outdoor
activities in your visit. Join organized treks or tours which already provide
the equipment, such as tents, sheets, and beddings for such activity.
