» Samui restaurant guide
Koh Samui is host to a whole spectrum of restaurants ranging from roadside eateries and noodle shops to some of the most exquisite and high end restaurants in the whole of Thailand. At the cheaper end of the scale, the rice and curry shops are amongst the most popular and plenty of these can be found on the Ring Road (Rte 4169). Varieties of curries are laid out in huge pots for customers to choose from and if in any doubt as to where to eat, choose a place that is popular with locals. Up market dining is plentiful on the island with the best restaurants located on the northern beaches of Choeng Mon and Big Buddha beach. Dining on the Rocks is a particularly well known restaurant. Set out to sea on a wooden barge, it serves contemporary dishes with a hint of experimentation.

» Samui night life guide
As one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand, Koh Samui caters for the night life needs of every visitor. Without a doubt the busiest and rowdiest night life is to be seen at Chaweng. Bars, pubs and clubs of all descriptions exist in Chaweng and nearly all of them stay open until 2am whilst some keep going for the remainder of the night. One can choose to sip on delicious cocktails, drink at an Irish pub, drop in at a reggae bar or even wander down soi Green Mango to witness the go-go bars. Whilst Chaweng may hog the limelight for night life, Bo Phut and Lamai are also known to provide ample entertainment for visitors. For the quieter side of night life, the high end resorts all offer a selection of elegant bars at which to sit, relax and enjoy the sunset in peace and quiet.

» Samui beach guide
Koh Samui remains one of Thailand's most visited destinations because of the number of excellent beaches available. Chaweng beach is arguably the most famous and most beautiful beach on the island but it is also its most developed. Squeaky sand and clear waters make this a popular spot suitable for some fantastic photo opportunities. The second largest beach on the island is Lamai but for a more charming experience it is worth heading south of Lamai to Hua Thanon. This beach is much quieter and serves as a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Chaweng and Lamai. The beaches on the northern side of the island are home to some of the most spectacular accommodation whilst the eastern beaches are known to be the most relaxed with some of the cheapest accommodation available. The old fisherman's village, Bo Phut, is definitely worth a visit to see a more traditional Koh Samui beach.

» Samui Shopping guide
Koh Samui is full of shopping options across the island which range from fashionable boutiques to Thai souvenir shops and even health and beauty product shops. Perhaps one of the most enjoyable places to go shopping is the Laem Din Market in Chaweng. This bustling market operates at day and night and is full to the brim with all manner of local produce, some of which is cooked in the market's delicious restaurants. The majority of shops are located in Chaweng and if one is looking for gifts to take home or something traditionally Thai to decorate the house with then dropping in at Dodee Decor is a good idea. Lamai also hosts a number of shops including Suzy Nina which sells delicate fabrics to be used for interior design purposes. Health Mart is another popular shop in Lamai and if you are planning to detox after your holiday, this is the place to shop.
