Koh Samui is the ultimate destination for vacationers who want to recharge and refresh on some pristine beaches. The things to do in Koh Samui range from the usual, such as hopping from one beach to another, to the not-so-usual, such as dropping by snake farms and crocodile farms. Samui, after all, is packed to the brim with activities that can please even the most adventurous tourist.

While a vacation is a golden opportunity to relax, it is also a suitable time to try something you’ve never done before. Koh Samui is no exception in this scenario. The island’s shooting range provides a few hours of new, exciting entertainment. Whether you’re a shooting enthusiast or have never even held a gun in your life, a trip to the shooting range sits on the upper ranks of things to do in Koh Samui.

The shooting range is licensed by the government, so you can put your worries and issues at rest. Safety is a priority at the range. Proof of this are the list of rules and instructions posted on the walls. The staff, who are fully trained professionals, make sure that guests are familiar with the rules and instructions before lessons start. Shooters are also given headsets before the sessions kick off to protect their ears.

Take your pick from the assortment of guns offered in the range. You have the choice to pick up pistols, revolvers, rifles, semi-automatic weapons, among others. Guess you never expected that firing bullets will be on your list of things to do in Koh Samui, but that’s exactly what you’ll be doing. Don’t worry, the fully trained instructors are on standby to make sure everything goes smoothly.

The shooting range uses paper targets. If you have some pent-up emotions that you would like to release, the shooting range is the place to do it! It would cost you around 300 baht but that’s a small price to pay for feeling better, isn’t it? Note that the price can go higher if you consume more bullets or if your firearm of choice is of the heavier variety.

A trip to the shooting range should be on every visitor’s list of things to do in Koh Samui. The range is open daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. It is located on the east coast of Koh Samui, between the Chaweng and Bophut resorts.
