WHERE TO STAY Koh Samui, Thailand 🇹🇭 - Honest Opinion of Thailand's MOST Beautiful Island 2024

foreign [Music] last week we brought you the area we are staying in Koh Samui but now there's a lot more to Koh Samui than what we've just shown you here in the fisherman Village area yeah we're gonna go check it out and make sure we made the right choice on where we decided to stay there could be other options yeah so we're gonna go check out some of the main beaches and in the end we'll kind of rank them one through however many beaches we visit to see where we would stay if we came back thank you so when you're getting around on Koh Samui the way you're gonna do it in one of the cheapest ways to do it is on these little trucks and you just stop them you just wave them down and then you have to negotiate fresh with you with them they are going to start quite a bit higher than what you ultimately are going to pay from our place two fishermen Village we pay around 20 to 30. but now we're coming all the way over to another Beach you're gonna pay about 75 to 100 each so a little bit more but they're very easy and convenient they're all over the place there's actually one right behind us [Music] now the first Beach that we made our way down to is La Mai beach lamai beach is known as really probably one of the most beautiful beaches on the island we have just gotten here so we can't give a judgment on that one yet no but so far it reminds me of Thailand it's what you think about right when you think of Thailand and we're excited to check this out yeah gorgeous blue towns that is located probably furthest away from kind of the all the areas that you might want to reach on the island so prepare yourself for that if you do choose to stay out in this area [Music] we're in tennis shoes on a beach it's like a tourist thank you so far what we are seeing on this beach is it's a beautiful beach it really is a Long Beach and so if you like to walk on a beach and kind of want it to be quieter because so far what we're seeing is it's a pretty quiet beach now kind of over here in the distance we see a lot of kind of looks like there might be a little beach bars and stuff like that so I think we're gonna head over there and check out and maybe it's a cold weather [Music] what we're noticing here in comparison say to Fisherman's Cove is you have waves here we don't we have our Fishman Village it's more of a bay over in that area so if you'd like to hear the waves and everything that is probably a big plus but also the water is so warm yeah we haven't been around water this warm for a while [Music] small beers 100 baht so you always pay a little bit more when you're on the beach but it's not bad great view this is not horrible great company yeah I've never ever turned down a beer on the beach I've never said yes every time you've never turned down a beer let's just keep it real foreign [Music] than just the beach there's also a small town that we're in here and it's just like a typical small town it's got your bars your restaurants some shopping now it is a little bit delayed on reopening from covet yeah they think it's kind of one of the last places to start picking up again with tourism after covid now I mean we're here and honestly I don't know I kind of like it it's it's still everything is going but it's maybe not as crazy busy so that's maybe a little more down our alley but uh I don't know it's kind of it's tricking a lot of yeah we're gonna do that right now because if you're wondering it's about 92 right now and it's muggy yeah so that's something to note we are here it is March uh it is 90 every day and it is a low of 80. so yeah not a lot of cooling off it's going to be too thirsty a few times today a few times yeah and I still have sand in my shoe so we need to go that's okay it means you're on a beach vacation [Music] thank you thank you thank you [Music] got myself a smoothie made of barley hops yeast water I got an actual smoothie I got a 40 Baht not bad we don't have a smoothie place right next to our place where we're staying so you got to take advantage of this [Music] thank you so we're trying to make our way to the next Beach which is actually just up from lamai Beach called Silver Beach and we kind of thought we would just catch one of the trucks but they do not barter price over here no and you might just say you know just pay the price do it which it's occurred to me a few times just pay what they tell you to pay but all they have to do is stop and let you out they're driving right by anyway yeah they didn't have to stop we'll just jump out but honestly it's just it's not that far and so now we're so close so we're just watching it it's about two miles and how much fun can you have in 92 degree weather an 85 humidity uh than walk yeah if you can't tell on the video here that we're like dripping through it so we need to find our way too deep I either have a bug running down my leg or a drip of sweat welcome to right now he's rubbed up against please [Music] so we made our way here to Silver Beach and it very much lives up to what everybody says is it's probably one of the most beautiful beaches here on Coast mui and the one thing I would say is there's not a lot of options of places to stay here so if you do stay here you're staying at a resort which is probably pretty spending this with that being said somehow it is very busy and if you might have noticed the money we saved on getting a taxi to walk two miles to get here I bought this the sun hat and uh he's all protected you'll be seeing this hat in upcoming videos for obvious reasons of course I gotta protect the head yeah but this is a beautiful beach it is yeah and I think that it's just one of those that most people come to for the day it's a packet bag come down have something drink there's definitely restaurants right here on the the sand so yeah it's a nice place to spend the day and they probably have cold beverages of your choice and so we're gonna find that it is busy so we'll see how it goes [Music] so it is about 200 baht to get a paddle board which actually would be kind of cool down here because it's a really nice shallow area all throughout this Bay we've been seeing them bring down paddle boards for people so it's kind of cool an option so keep that in mind what about sharks ever since I was young and I watched Jaws way too young I just kind of feel like Jaws is looking for me so if I go in the water he'll find me one thing when you do find your way to Silver Beach is there is not a direct entrance that you're going to see like to go into the beach right and you're not going to see the beach from the road so you just go into there's the three Resort entrances and you just go through one of the resorts pick Resort and go in you can buy a drink on the way in on some of them on others you cannot we got a truck going by here that's all right now the resort that you walk into that we walked into looks really cool that's beautiful I have no idea how much it costs to go there or stay there but I would consider it yeah I think it's out of our budget [Music] budget shooters it's down there what do you point at oh the swimming massage that's what I need I don't know how much that is [Music] so now we have found our way over to chaoang Beach and this is really probably one of the more popular areas where people stay it is near the airport like it's really on the back side of it there is a gorgeous Beach here and a lot of resorts a lot of resorts a lot of places you can go pay to get in and that sounds like you don't really want to do that but I'm intrigued by it it costs 12 to 15 dollars for the day you get a chair you get a pool you get the beach and they got a bar that you've got to buy some drinks if you want to still have to pay for the drink gotta pay free drinks but Hey listen we might be doing that before we leave it looks pretty nice so here one of the advantages that we see right away just when we're coming into the town is there's a lot of restaurants a lot of bars a lot of just access to shopping there's a little Mall here and I think it might be one of the main malls here on the on the island um so I kind of can see the draw but we're gonna walk around and check it out foreign [Music] is very beautiful I would say one of the downsides that I notice right away is that you kind of have to enter right at the beach access for the public access and so far we're finding one spot so unless you are staying at a resort and then you can kind of walk down to all those places I don't know to me that's kind of a downside because we don't stay at a resort we're here for a month right however if you are only here for a week and you stay at one of these resorts might be a way to go it's a beautiful beach it's gorgeous so back to where we started and we're back home it's been a long day it was a long day it was a great day but it is very hot so uh one advantage to having a pool wherever you're staying yeah I'm jumping into out here pretty soon now you come to Thailand you're looking for the beaches and all of these beaches are fantastic you can't go wrong with any one of them they're all family friendly yeah however which would you pick so I kind of want to put him into a ranking of maybe one through four and so I personally I love the location where we are staying I love Fisherman's Village we love the night market and just I don't know it just kind of has that that feeling that we're looking for it it's cute it's quaint it's clean that's what I like the most about it um I would agree with Carry On All Points I like those Resorts they were awfully nice if I was coming for a week if I could afford it I might grab one of those Resorts and just walk out to the beach every day yeah but for our money for what we're doing stand for a month at a time I think Fisherman's Village and right War stands the way to go yeah now I think that each of them have kind of a positive and negatives to them um I would I would point out that just like we found that if you go all the way out to Lanai and you want to stay there I actually put Lanai in my second place category but it is on the other side and so you're paying a lot to get anywhere you want to go if you don't have a car you might feel a little isolated there uh yeah you know Silver Beach would probably be my second favorite spot that little uh Hotel um a boutique hotel yeah I would love to stay there but we like it where we're at right so Wang honestly would be my last choice so I I had a hard time understanding the draw of why people might just be the convenience of location but I did not care for that location at all correct I'd agree with that okay we're wrapping this one up if you've not seen our Fisherman's Village video watch that one right now all right cheers yeah and the difference when the difference is from our place uh just like the other ones is it has a wave so yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [Music]
