Not many people associate the idyllic island of Koh Samui with fishing trips but with beautiful seas teaming with exotic sea life, game fishing is a popular past time with locals and tourists alike.

Several fishing tours are available for day trips with all equipment provided and often an on-board lunch for those who would like to spend the entire day out at sea.

Popular catches are Barracuda, Cobia, Shark, Mackeral, Sailfish, Snapper, Grouper, Trevally and More…

Most trips include transportation to the dock from your resort and depart from TK Tour pier at Thong Krut

As well as swimming in the stunning ocean, there are a large number of sporting activities for children, starting with the carefully designed mini-golf course in Choeng Mon, which is one of the only certified courses in Thailand.

Nearby is one of Samui’s popular new hybrid games, football-golf: a novelty game where you tee off with your foot, the idea being to get a football round a quite difficult obstacle course.

Also, at Tesco Lotus, near Chaweng, is a bowling alley, which is air-conditioned to give visitors a few hours break from the sunshine.

On the same complex there is also a cinema, which shows a constantly changing selection of movies for children and adults. In addition, a small play area for the kids and lots of fast food options can be found here.

If your child is a lover of nature, Koh Samui is perfect for them, with the beautiful sights of the Ang Thong National Marine Park (about an hour west of Samui by speedboat), a snake and crocodile zoo and the opportunity to ride elephants, they will never be bored for a minute!

It’s bold. It’s chic. It’s luxurious. It’s brand new… And it’s already becoming one of the best spas on the island

You’ll notice from the grand entrance and main reception that there’s a decidedly natural feel to the whole place; lots of wood, many plants, and several water features.

The whole spa is contemporary yet definitely Oriental in style.

Thai and foot massages take place in three ground floor suites, whilst all the other treatments are provided in one of the four double or two single suites on the first floor. And all of these also have private Jacuzzis and steam rooms.
