1. Koh Phangan
If you love snorkelling and sightseeing, take a guided tour to Koh Phangan and experience the secluded coves and beaches on the east coast.
If you go during the full moon, don't miss the chance to join the full moon glow in the dark party, only at Had Rid Beach!
2. Chaweng Nightlife
Apart from the full moon party in Koh Phangan, Chaweng also hogs Samui spotlight with funky pubs, clubs and shows. But if you're not up for dance and music, Chaweng has massage parlours that offer cheap Thai massage as well as manicure and pedicure service.

3. Lamai Night market
Lamai nightlife leans more towards live music and sexy foam parties. What I like about Lamai is the night market where you can buy very cheap items like sunglasses, T-shirts and souvenirs.
4. Na Muang Waterfall
The best trekking site at Koh Samui is Namuang Waterfall where you can ride an elephant and enjoy the scenery. If you are adventurous, go for a thrilling ride at the ATV park 10 minutes' away.
5. Local Coconut Village

Have you ever heard of Monkey Academy that trains local pig-tailed monkeys to pick ripe coconuts from the trees? Here in Koh Samui, you can see the monkeys being trained. Later, you can relax under the tree and have a fresh coconut drink.
