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.
