Also unlike the islands Phuket, Krabi and Koh Phi Phi, where summer is the rainiest time of the year, Koh Samui enjoys beautiful weather in the summer. It is not recommended to go to Koh Samui between the months of September and November, as those are the rainiest months on that island and its neighbouring islands.

Koh Samui is known for its gorgeous beaches: turquoise waters, soft white sand, and plenty of coconut trees. But those looking for action, activities and adventure will find this island to be the ultimate destination as well. The island itself is full of attractions to rival any big city’s selection. Besides that, you can go on half-day or day-long trips to the neighbouring islands.

For families coming to Koh Samui, I recommend staying at Lamai Beach. It is a wonderful area by the sea with a great selection of hotels, some of them right next to beautiful beaches, shops, markets, restaurants and anything you need, without the over-crowdedness of Chaweng Beach. In any case, however, you can also find great family hotels in Chaweng, right by the sea.

Because one usually frequents the beach of the hotel where they are staying, it is important to pick a hotel that is next to a sandy beach with no rocks. In Koh Samui – both in Lamai and Chaweng – there are some great sandy beaches right next to rocky beaches which are unsuited for swimming. The resorts and hotels are lined along all of the beaches, including the rocky ones, so it is important to make sure while booking your hotel that it is next to the right kind of beach.
Two great hotels with great beaches in Lamai are Thai House Beach Resort, a good hotel at a low price, and the luxurious Pavilion Samui Boutique Resort, which offers rooms and apartments with Jacuzzis or even private pools. A nice family hotel with a lovely beach in Chaweng is Baan Chaweng Beach Resort & Spa. While looking for hotels in Thailand, do not be misled by the use of the word “resort”. Any hotel may call itself a “resort”, even below-average backpacker hostels. On the other hand, there are some amazing high-class resorts to be found in Thailand. It is important for a family travelling in Thailand to choose a nice, comfy hotel, because the difference between a good hotel and a bad hotel is major there. Choosing a bad hotel with a foul-smelling room may ruin your vacation.

I recommend going to Koh Samui for at least a week. Spend two days at the great beaches near your hotel, combined with massages, meals on the beach, and some shopping – the winning combo when it comes to vacationing in Thailand. Spend the remaining time on activities and touring Koh Samui and the neighbouring islands.
There is no need to book the tours long in advance. Book then a day or two ahead of time according to the weather and what you feel like. All tours include pick-up and return to and from the hotel. Most of the tours include free drinks, fruit, and lunch. There is no need to rent a car in Samui, either. The roads are full of bumps and holes and the Thai drive like crazy (and don’t really obey traffic law), so it is better to just let a local driver to make his way for you in the controlled chaos of the island.

Koh Samui’s airport is one of the most beautiful and pleasant airports in the world; a cute little airport seemingly taken out of a fairy tale. Colourful, Disney-esque carriages drive passengers from the plane to the terminal along a road lined with straw-roofed huts, with an atmosphere of exotic holiday in the air. The airport has a beautiful new shopping area and a wide selection of restaurants and coffee shops that could put many big, international airports to shame. I recommend flying to Koh Samui with Bangkok Airways: excellent airplanes, amazing service (including a full meal on a 40-minute flight) and a special lobby in the airports where you will get food, drinks, and free internet, making even the flight days pleasant and fun.
