Heaven Garden

If you are looking for a unique tourist destination to visit during your Koh Samui holiday then you might be interested in making the trek up to Heaven Garden. Heaven Garden is an art gallery of sorts set in an absolutely stunning natural atmosphere amongst the gorgeous greenery and vegetation of Koh Samui's hills and valleys. Heaven Garden was created by Nim Thongsuk, a Thai of local Samui descent who desired to create a little piece of beauty to be enjoyed by all amongst the natural landscape of beautiful Koh Samui. One can view art in many shapes and forms at Heaven Garden and appreciate both man-made art and the natural beauty of the landscape all at once. It is recommended to wear good walking shoes to this site as the climb can be somewhat challenging at times. Furthermore, there is plenty to see here and it takes some time to reach the site so be sure to allow yourself enough time to enjoy all that Nim Tongsuk has prepared and arranged for your viewing pleasure at Heaven Garden.

Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks (South of Lamai Beach)

If you want to make sure you don't miss out on one of the 'must sees' at Koh Samui be sure to schedule some time to stop by the famous Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks. The Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks are a pair of stones, that over the years, have been shaped and changed by the water and the wind to resemble the images of the male and female sex organs. One can climb on to the rocks and take plenty of pictures with Grandfather and Grandmother. This tourist destination may not be the most cultural experience but is quite fun nonetheless and the area where the Grandfather and Grandmother rocks are located is quite beautiful in its own right with great rock formations overlooking the pristine blue seas. Furthermore, there are plenty of small souvenir shops along the road leading to the Grandfather and Grandmother rocks where one can pick up some quality little treasures to take home as momentos of their Koh Samui holiday.

Touring the Waterfalls

The island of Koh Samui features of a network of river systems that in places, due to rough topography, form waterfalls. These locations of serene beauty are often secluded in the higher altitude areas of the island, where the pristine and verdant rainforests remain unspoiled by human development and interference. A hike up to one of the many stunning waterfalls on Koh Samui is a perfect way to spend a day developing an appreciation for the natural fauna and flora of the island. Na Muang 1 and 2 are regarded as the island's most beautiful and hence, most popular waterfalls, which present fascinating rock formations, beautiful surrounding vegetation and the opportunity to perhaps engage in a bit of forest bird-watching. Wang Saotong is another waterfall of interest - one of Samui's taller ones too - as is the Hin Lad Waterfall; both of which are well worth the 1-2 kilometer trek into the jungle to enjoy!

Magic Alambic Rum Distillery and Garden Bar (Namuang)

The Magic Alambic Rum Distillery and Garden Bar in Koh Samui was established in 2003 by the Gabrel family. The Gabrel's are a French family who wanted to spice up their retirement by bringing one of their hobbies, making rum, to beautiful Koh Samui. The Magic Alambic Rum Distillery and Garden Bar has since flourished and produces a spirit that is loved by many and is made completely from Thailand's own fresh fruits and sugar cane. If you are looking for a cool beverage to complement the sunset on one of Koh Samui's beautiful beaches, you need not look any further than The Magic Alambic Rum Distillery and Garden Bar. The family owned Magic Alambic Rum Distillery and Garden Bar is a small company producing only a limited amount of product each year which is sought after by tourists and locals alike. If you're looking for a little liquid relaxation from a very smooth and high quality beverage, then the Magic Alambic Rum Distillery and Garden Bar is the place for you.

Lipa Noi

If you are looking for a true opportunity to relax and unwind on your Koh Samui holiday and aspire to find a place away from all the hustle and bustle of Koh Samui's vibrant nightlife then a short trip to nearby Lipa Noi Island might be right up your alley. Lipa Noi can be easily accessed from Koh Samui's main pier. Once you arrive on Lipa Noi you will soon realize that is going to be easier than ever to relax and take it easy in a quiet and pristine beach atmosphere as there isn't a bustling party or night scene on Lipa Noi. Lipa Noi is quite remote and not a destination for those looking to party or socialize. All that one will find at Lipa Noi is a few quality bungalow operations and restaurants, clear blue seas, expansive white beaches and plenty of time to relax in tropical paradise. If relaxation is what you desire, Lipa Noi is an ideal destination.

Ang Thong National Marine Park

If there's only one other activity you get up to while on Koh Samui - other than lying like a stranded whale on its pristine beaches - it's a visit to the stunning Ang Thong National Marine Park. This nature reserve consists of an archipelago of islands scattered like emeralds along the western boundary of the deep blue Gulf of Thailand, approximately 31km west of the islands of Samui. Here the National Parks Department of Thailand has fought long and hard to preserve the verdant tropical rainforests of the islands, the fine white sand beaches and the complex coral reef systems that lie beneath the turquoise waters. With the underlying geology of the area consisting of soft limestone, visitors flock to the Ang Thong National Marine Park to explore the networks of caves and other interesting rock formations. The park is a haven for swimming, hiking, bird-watching and other outdoor activities and is an absolute must-see for those with a love of fresh air and un-rivalled natural beauty.

Bangrak Bay

Bang Rak Bay and Bang Rak Beach are located on the very northeastern side of Koh Samui and provide visitors with a wide variety of amenities spanning from luxury to affordable options. The beach at Bang Rak Bay is very popular amongst tourists due to the fact that the waters remain calm for most of the year and are great for swimming and snorkeling. The white sand beaches are inviting as well and are fortunately not as frequented by vendors as those on the other side of Koh Samui offering sunbathers a more relaxing and quiet atmosphere. There is plenty to do when the sun goes down and a wide variety of dining options as well. No matter whether you are looking for fine dining or some food stalls with cheap treats, you can find what you are looking for in Bang Rak Bay. Furthermore, Bang Rak Bay has a pier by which one can take a trip to the nearby full moon party or visit the National Marine Park. Whatever you are looking for in your Koh Samui holiday, Bang Rak Bay can most likely accommodate you.

Koh Som or Orange Island

Located just a stone's throw away from the very northeastern tip of beautiful Koh Samui's Bang Rak Beach lies the enchanting and charming island of Koh Som. Both Thais and travelers alike who have had the opportunity to visit this beautiful gem of an island will agree that dropping by Koh Som for a daytime adventure or longer periods of stay in one of the island's quaint bungalows can be the perfect way to escape the sometimes fast pace of everyday life as Koh Som is nothing short of what many would consider an island that caters to pure relaxation and serenity. Whether it is snorkeling, hiking, taking a dip in the clear blue sea, or lounging in a hammock with your favorite book, this stunningly beautiful island and its palm tree laced surroundings will be sure to please. Making arrangements for a quick and easy boat ride to reach Koh Som can be done so from Plai Laem Pier.
