Snorkeling and Scuba Diving in Koh Samui
Gliding through the warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand, viewing the exotic marine & coral life, and riding the speedboats before diving in the clear waters offer aquatic freedom in the wondrous underwater world like no other activity. This makes snorkeling and scuba diving the best things to do in Koh Samui.
Where to try: Snorkeling tours to Koh Tan, Koh Nang Yuan, Koh Phangan, and Angthong National Marine Park are offered from Koh Samui. Clear waters off the Chaweng beach and the Coral Cove are best suited for scuba diving.
Kitesurfing in Koh Samui
Kitesurfing, or kiteboarding as it is more commonly known, is one of the most adventurous things to do in Koh Samui. The kitesurfing spots in Koh Samui offer flat and shallow waters to surf safely. The absence of jellyfish, rocks, waves, jet skis, and speed boats make the conditions just ideal for this sport.
Where to try: Hua Thanon and Nathon
Sea Kayaking
Kayaking is one of the best things to do in Koh Samui for couples, solo travelers, friends, and families. Among the most popular water sports in Koh Samui, kayaking offers a chance to explore the crystal clear waters, surrounding islands, secluded beaches, and overhanging coves.
Where to try: A number of Kayaking tours are offered from Koh Samui. But the kayaking tours to Angthong National Marine Park, Koh Mudsum, and Koh Tan are most popular.
Swimming at Namuang Waterfalls
Koh Samui is blessed with some beautiful waterfalls. These include the Wanorn Waterfall near Lipa Noi and Hin Lad Waterfall near Nathon. But the two Namuang waterfalls are most famous. Swimming at the cool and fresh waters of the natural pools of the Namuang waterfalls is one of the most relaxing things to do in Koh Samui – for couples, solo travelers, and even families.
Elephant Trekking
Elephant – a symbol of strength and royalty – is the national animal of Thailand. The island of Koh Samui has a vast stretch of tropical forest in its centre. A journey through the forest on an elephant back takes you through exotic flora & fauna, refreshing waterfalls, and verdant forests.
Off Roading to a mountain top

Shopping at the night markets
Shopping in Koh Samui goes beyond the chic malls. Yes, the Central Festival Mall in Chaweng and other malls in Koh Samui are of the highest standards. But the Lamai Night Walking Street and Chaweng Night Market make shopping in Koh Samui a unique experience.
Unlike the other temples, Wat Khunaram is famous for the mummified monk that is kept on display here. The mummified body of Loung Pordaeng is kept in a glass casket in the temple. Visiting the mummified monk is a unique experience offered at this tourist attraction of Koh Samui.
