There are tons of Koh Samui attractions that
make this island a tourist magnet to vacationers everywhere. The obvious things
that entice people from all over the planet to pay a visit to this tropical
paradise, and come back to visit it again and again, include the white sand beach,
crystal-clear ocean water, sea breeze, outstanding local hospitality and of
course unforgettable sites.
However, similar things can be found at other
popular tourist destinations elsewhere – so what separates this island from its
counterparts within and outside the country? Below are the four biggest reasons
that make this private getaway standout from the rest.
First off, Samui has the perfect balance
between seclusion and convenience – since it can’t be reached by bus, travellers
who go here tend to spend more time. While this islet is more developed as
compared to other locations within region, there are numerous spots that are left
virtually untouched.
For this reason, people can either choose to
stay at a place loaded with various types of accommodations, which are closely
situated near shops, bars, clubs and other commercial establishments; or stay
at a mediocre to premium villa located far from such businesses and noisy
tourists.
The second reason can be considered one of the
biggest Koh Samui attractions: local cuisine. There’s a good reason why Thai
cook books sell very well. Some of the best restaurants in the entire island include
“The Z” and “Beyond the Sea” – they’ve been praised by individuals from all
parts of the world for their mouth-watering, tongue-tantalizing food.
Third reason to stay at this fun-filled island
is the wide range of activities for tourists to do – for those who like to
spend their holidays at a laid-back pace, buying books from local stores, and reading
under the palm shades at the beach, is one thing for these types to do. They
can also choose to go to a spa, and unwind with a massage from experienced
professionals.
As for those who’d like to keep busy during their
visitations, this islet does exceptionally well at catering for that need –
getting on a boat going to Ang Thong Marine Park is a great option. Here, vacationers
can choose to go snorkelling, kayaking, or explore the park’s interior.
Fourth and last reason is the opportunity to
learn something completely new – this island has various schools and
instructors who are more than willing to give lessons in culinary cooking,
yoga, diving, sailing plus wind-surfing.
There are of course, plenty of other Koh Samui attractions,
which make this tourist hotspot an excellent place to visit. The ones listed
here are just some of many reasons why a vacationist should definitely consider
spending a vacation here! Many activities have been described on this blog in
earlier posts, however if you would like to learn more about some other
activities we haven’t yet covered, please let us know.
