Ko Samui

Ko Samui is a tourist islands off the Thailand mainland, which boasts its own international airport. The island has an area of ​​approximately 300 square kilometers and its population reaches more than 50,000 inhabitants. The island has been inhabited for more than 15 centuries and its first inhabitants were fishermen from the Malay Peninsula and Southern China. Until the beginning of the 1970s, the island had to be explored on foot, a distance of over 15 km from side to side through thick vegetation. Now the island has a road that runs almost along its entirety. Besides tourism, the population is employed in the "copra" coconut oil business, rubber production, fishing and handicraft exports.

Life on the island is quiet during the day but at night it comes alive if you frequent some of his most animated beach areas such as Chaweng. Like many beach paradise islands, Ko Samui has a charm of its own. Some islands are more suitable for swimming and others more suitable for scuba diving. Beaches most visited and which have restaurants and accommodations are Chaweng, Lamai, Maenam, Bo Phut, Big Buddha and Choeng Mon .

End, departure to Europe

Fin, départ vers l'Europe

Après une semaine à Koh Tao, on est partis sur Koh Samui, plage de Chaweng. Beaucoup de touristes, l'ambiance extérieure est spécialement pour nous touristes. Ce n'est pas ce qu'on préfère, car la population change les relations. Koh Tao était plus petite et surtout plus vraie. Bon, Koh Samui a été aussi une belle aventure. On a pu voir un combat de boxe avec des adultes, mais aussi des enfants, assez dur à voir. Il y a eu un combat avec un italien, ça n'a duré que 17 secondes et KO, très impressionnant. La nourriture, un régal, des saveurs inoubliables entre épices et douceurs. À nouveau de la plongée, car après Koh Tao on ne pouvait pas en rester là. On a rencontré l'équipe Discovery Diving, ils ont leur bureau à Chaweng. Superbes plongées avec des beaux fonds, malgré quelques dégâts sur les coraux faute aux tourisme de masse. 2 jours avant notre départ, petits souvenirs, un tattoo, pour mon homme un requin sur le mollet et moi un aussi sur l'épaule pour nous graver le souvenir de nos plongée. dernier jour, on a fait un magnifique tour en bateau avec papa Samui, de nouveau de belles rencontres avec de la bonne humeur. Fin, départ vers l'Europe
After one week Koh Tao, we left on Koh Samui, Chaweng Beach. Many tourists, the atmosphere is extrieure specially for us tourists. This is not what prefers, because the population exchange relationships. Koh Tao was smaller and especially more true. Bon, Koh Samui t's a nice adventure. Got to see a boxing match with adults, but also children, quite hard to see. There was a fight with an Italian, has a hard KO 17 seconds, very impressive. Food, rgal, unforgettable flavors from spices and sweets. again plunges as after Koh Tao we could not stay there. We met the team Discovery Diving, they have their Chaweng office. Superb dive with beautiful backgrounds, despite some dgts on corals lack of mass tourism. 2 days before our departure, small souvenirs, a tattoo for my man a shark on the calf and also me on the shoulder to burn us the memory of our dives. last day, it was a beautiful boat ride with dad Samui, again beautiful meetings with good humor. End, departure to Europe

Cute ms in Thailand

El más lindo en Tailandia

Si me dan a elegir me quedo con Samui. Esuve en Phuket, Phi Phi, pero Kho Samui fue sin duda en donde mejor lo pasé. Quizá por el clima, las actividaes, no se... pero me gustó muchísimo. Las playas son realmente hermosas. Para el que quiere noche, fiestas también hay! y mucho! El el hotel en el que estábamos alquilamos unas motos y salimos a pasear en ellas, llegamos a unas cataratas hermosas! Recomendable 100x100
If given a choice I prefer Samui. Esuve in Phuket, Phi Phi, Kho Samui but was definitely where I spent better. Perhaps climate, actividaes, I know ... but not like very much. The beaches are really beautiful. For those who want night parties there too! and lots! The hotel where we were rented some bikes and went for a walk in them, we come to a beautiful falls!

A corner inolvidaable

Un rincon inolvidaable

Hace 20 años descubrí una isla pequeña en el sur de Tailandia, koh samui. Esta isla me cautivo de tal manera que siempre que tenia oportunidad en España me escapaba por aquí. Ahora tal y como esta la situación en España he decidido establecerme aquí. Por fin he conseguido montar un pequeño negocio de agencia de viajes y alquiler de motos para recorrer la isla. Si necesitas información sobre esta preciosa isla , no dudes en ponerte en contacto.

A memorable trip

Un viaggio memorabile

Per chi ama la tranquillità e lo star bene io consiglio l'isola di Ko Samui nel golfo del Siam. Troverete cordialità e persone gentili un'infinità di posticini dove pranzare o cenare, il mio consiglio è di prenotare il volo solamente e poi optare per un BB.
For those who love peace and feeling good I recommend the island of Ko Samui in the Gulf of Siam. You will find friendly and kind people countless niches where lunch or dinner, my advice is to book the flight and only then opt for a BB.

Por casualidad mientras recorría la isla en moto, me topé con esta bonita isla que parece para una postal.
By chance while recorria the island on a bike, I came across this nice looking for a postcard.

One of the biggest islands of Thailand

Una delle isole più grandi della Tailandia

Excellent
Ci si arriva comodamente in aereo e dall aeroporto ci si sposta con piccole navette o taxi. E' suddivisa in più zone ciascune con le proprie caratteristiche e attrazioni e metà dell'isola è ancora selvaggia. Locali in abbondanza e bancarelle di cibo ottimo! Vale la pena prendersi del tempo per girarla a piedi e addentrandosi nei vicoletti e godendosi le lunghe spiagge
One of the biggest islands of Thailand. You can get there easily by plane and from the airport you can move with small shuttles or taxis. It is divided into several zones each with its own characteristics and attractions and half of the island is still wild. Plenty of venues and great food stalls! It is worth taking the time to walk around it and going into the alleys and enjoying the long beaches
