    I have just returned from Thailand .Im now in Australia.I spent a week in Koh Samui. I did not go to Phuket as i have heard its so busy and too touristy.I normally go to Indonesia for my holidays.Koh Samui was so lovely and Thai people are just so respectful.Thai people are such a pleasure to be around .I stayed at Mae Nam right on the beach.It was so beautiful.Definitely recommend Koh Samui for a lovely holiday

    Really good subject, Chai, Phuket vs Samui. I get that question a lot but have the closest I've made it to Phuket is Koh Lipe, so I'm not qualified to answer. But I do like Samui and Koh Phangan from a couple visits, more Koh Phangan. As the one girl said, very "hippy" in a good way. Great pop ups of the island with the pins to show locations. Stay champ!

    Spent heaps of time in phuket , a week at samui , Two different places. Samui was boring to me. Yes patong is busy but it has a heart beat. Beaches are average now, not world class. Water's to dirty to dive , waterfalls only good thing. Patong you can do whatever whenever. And it doesn't get the island storms daily. Every day it rained at 2pm-5pm very heavy samui . And the taxi rip off prices , The island is so spread out for what it is.
