About this Thailand Tour
Palm-lined beaches and marine parks
On Thailand's Gulf coast, Koh Samui trades the Andaman crowds for palm-lined beaches and a laid-back island rhythm. Over six days you relax on Chaweng, tour the island's Big Buddha and waterfalls, sail the emerald lagoons of Ang Thong Marine Park, and snorkel the clear water around Koh Tao.
Samui's season runs opposite to the Andaman, making it a great choice when Phuket and Krabi are wet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you book
Samui is on Thailand's Gulf coast, so it is quieter, greener and its best weather falls at a different time of year. It suits travellers wanting relaxed, palm-lined beaches over a busy island scene.
Ang Thong is a protected archipelago of 42 limestone islands near Samui, famous for its hidden Emerald Lagoon, kayaking and viewpoints. It inspired the novel The Beach and is a highlight boat day.
Excellent - Koh Tao and the neighbouring Koh Nang Yuan have some of the clearest water and richest coral in the Gulf, making them a top snorkelling and beginner-diving destination.
Samui's driest, sunniest months are roughly December to August, which is the opposite of the Andaman coast. It is a great choice when Phuket and Krabi are in their monsoon.
Samui has its own airport, usually reached via a short domestic flight from Bangkok. We arrange the routing and transfers so the island hop is smooth.
Very much - Samui has gorgeous beach resorts, sunset spots and spas. We can upgrade to a romantic pool-villa resort and add couple touches on request.
Yes, though they are on opposite coasts, so it involves a flight. We can plan a combined Andaman-plus-Gulf trip if you have 8 or more days.
Yes - the boats provide life jackets and the beaches are gentle. The kayaking and short hikes are optional, so families can go at their own pace.
