Safety
Thailand is generally considered a safe country and for tourists, Ko Samui is very safe place with no open violence in the streets. There is probably criminality, but it is unlikely that you will encounter it. The worst that could happen to you is probably that you get pickpocketed or that a tout tries to take you to a shopping center. These people often wait in front of temples or museums and tell you that they are closed. Guess what they suggest you should do instead? Right, visit a jewellery shop - or a handicraft store... Just ignore them. If the temple happens to be really closed, you can come back and get a taxi or a songthaew then. Always refuse when somebody offers you a free tour at tourist attractions As everywhere, of course, it is better to avoid carrying large amounts of cash; credit cards or traveller`s cheques are preferable.

You'll be fine. I bet you'll meet people in the first day anyway. I travelled on my own for a year and a half and always met other travellers to hang out with. Samui is a bit of a package holiday destination. I'd head to one of the smaller islands if you're after getting away from it all. I liked Koh Tao...

Only been to Samui with my other half, had a great time, we stopped at the Imperial Boathouse - very good hotel, just a short taxi ride into the town - I don't think I could travel anywhere on my own these days!!

there are various coastline motels in koh samui. yet for honeymoon, i prefer to advise you to Bang Rak coastline. "Rak" in Thai is recommend "Love". :) At Bang Rak coastline, i prefer to advise "Samui Pier coastline front motel", fees from $37. relax on white sandy beaches, getting pampered with thai hospitality, jointly as sipping on cocktails looking on the main alluring sunset on Samui. merely 5 minutes removed from the airport and ten minutes force to the favored Chaweng coastline, neighbour the commonplace vast Buddha Pier, the place you are able to seize a boat or ferry to Koh Phangan, Kho Tao, Angthong national Marine Park as nicely as all the different island charm. The motel provides their travelers with an array of centers and centers alongside with diving, fishing, island excursions, finished moon occasion charters and island safaris. study greater Koh Samui inn comments at:
