Best excursions in and around Samui

The are many excursions you can take in and around the island of Koh Samui no matter your interests or tastes. Ang Thong National Marine Park is one of the most popular places to visit and it is where the film, The Beach, was set but not filmed, so you can guess what a tropical paradise it is.

Visiting the Big Buddha in Bang Rak is another amazing scene to see and no matter what the weather is like on the island it always appears to be in the sunlight, even on an overcast day. The various wild animal places attracts some naive people who think its fun to watch animals perform tricks, but each to there own.

For those that like snorkeling then there is no better place to head than Koh Tao. You can both opt to stay here for a few days or take a day trip for around 2,000 baht and see some brightly coloured fish in crystal clear waters. Food and refreshments are provided on the journeys, but don’t forget the sun block, you can easily get burnt.
