Travel Tips
Samui has a hot climate, so dress in light clothing for excursions. For hiking, it is more convenient to put on sneakers than in beach slates. Have a supply of drinking water, snacks and money in your backpack to buy souvenirs and pay for attractions. Find out what to bring from Thailand.
For temple tours, dress with your shoulders and knees covered. Do not turn your back on the Buddha images or point your finger at them.
The sun is very active in Thailand. To avoid heatstroke, do not go out into direct sunlight during the day. Try to be in the shade of trees and buildings on the tour. In the water, the risk of getting burned increases several times - limit the time for snorkeling. Be sure to use a high protection sun cream. Learn how to sunbathe properly and when to relax on Koh Samui.
Choose excursions to places where it is difficult or impossible to get on your own. Many places on Koh Samui are easy to reach by yourself - by public transport, taxi or motorbike. Go to the Phra Yai Buddhist Temple, see a large gilded Buddha statue, and take a photo on the Ladder of the Dragons. Visit Wat Plai Laem, Guanyin Chinese Temple, Laem Sor Pagoda and other iconic sites on the island.
If you are traveling with children, take your own trip to the Tiger Aquarium and Zoo, visit the Butterfly Garden, and see the animals and birds at Paradise Park.
