Start your honeymoon by exploring Koh Samui Island, the second largest island in Thailand, and its stunning natural beauty. Visit the Secret Buddha Garden, also known as Tarnim Magic Garden, a peaceful and serene garden hidden in the hills of Koh Samui. You can also visit the Big Buddha, a 12-meter tall statue of Buddha, located on a small island connected to Koh Samui by a small causeway.
Today, visit Na Muang Waterfall, a natural wonder on the island. Surround yourself with lush greenery and have a refreshing swim in one of the waterfall pools. Then, visit Wat Plai Laem, a beautiful temple with a large statue of Guanyin, the goddess of compassion, and a striking blue-and-white exterior. Finish the day with a romantic sunset dinner at the beach.
Today, take a boat tour to explore one of the most beautiful marine parks in Thailand, Mu Ko Ang Thong. Enjoy snorkeling in turquoise waters, kayaking to hidden lagoons and caves, and sunbathing on pristine beaches. Don't miss the Emerald Lake, a beautiful saltwater blue-green crater lake.
Today, hop on a boat tour to explore nearby islands such as Koh Tao and Koh Phangan. Explore their stunning beaches, go cliff jumping, and take a dip in the crystal-clear waters. Return to Koh Samui for a relaxing day at the beach, enjoying the sun, sand, and sea.
End your honeymoon with a memorable experience by taking a Thai cooking class. Learn how to cook traditional Thai dishes with fresh herbs and ingredients, and impress your loved one. End the day with a romantic sunset cruise and enjoy the twinkling lights of Koh Samui at night.
Most places on Koh Samui can be reached by rented scooters, taxis, or private cars. Renting a scooter would cost around 200-300 THB per day, while hiring a taxi or private car would cost around 800-1500 THB per day. For island tours like Mu Ko Ang Thong and island hopping, tour operators provide pick-up services from your hotel.
If you have more time, you can explore the north of Koh Samui, which has charming fishing villages, local markets, and scenic viewpoints. If you have less time, skip the island hopping tour and spend more time relaxing on Koh Samui's beaches. Also, don't forget to pack your sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and comfortable walking shoes.
Koh Samui International Airport (USM) is the airport serving Koh Samui Island, located about 2 km north of the main city center. It operates flights to and from major international and domestic destinations, including Bangkok, Phuket, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
