A crescent-like white beach surrounded by the blue water shimmering under the sun. As the waves gently sway the water surface, the sea is divided into the distinct colors of light blue to green. This is Samui Island. There are many beaches with clear water and white sand. The scenery is very charming. There are plenty of water sports to choose from. Compared with Phuket, Samui Island has retained a more natural and simple atmosphere. Many celebrities have chosen to spend their honeymoon or holiday here, which demonstrates the charm of the island.

The atmosphere is very good. Suitable for walking, jogging, exercising. There are many exercise machines made of stainless steel, not rusty. It is the best outdoor exercise set I have ever seen.

The pier is very lively. There are people dancing in the square in the evening, and there is also a night market selling various Thai snacks. You can enjoy the snacks while appreciating the river view. The pier also provides night boats to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan Islands. I hope to have the opportunity to take a ride next time.

Exactly as booked. We booked to feed the elephants and that's what we did, I was just a bit underwhelmed, not sure what I was expecting but maybe to last a little longer. We were offered a complimentary refreshment once finished. Amazing animals, which are clearly loved by the keepers at the sanctuary, my children had a lovely time, so I would certainly recommend this as a family activity whilst on Samui.

The atmosphere is nice and shady. You can walk, exercise, watch flowers, the sunset, feed the fish, and feel refreshed in the evening.
