How to get to Koh Samui from Phuket?

ADB has a car + boat coupon service, which is mainly cheap and convenient, but the time is definitely longer than the plane. Sumei is a tourist area with no low-cost airlines.

What is the best season to visit Koh Samui?

From November to April, Koh Samui has warm waters and cozy sunshine, which is especially attractive and is the best time to travel here. In fact, the temperature in the subtropical region is not fluctuating throughout the year, and the sea breeze is cool and pleasant. It is worth noting that rainfall and typhoon will rain in most days from July to September. It is also a typhoon season. Before deciding to go to Samui, we should pay special attention to the tropical ocean storm. Also pay attention to the weather changes on the island, if there is a strong wind, cancel the diving, sea and other water entertainment projects.

1) It seems that there is no. Krabi Town has a shuttle bus to Surat Thani. The land cannot reach Samui directly. Suratani has a boat to sail to Koh Samui.

Q: How to get to Koh Samui from Nanjing?

I suggest you fly to Xi'an in Nanjing and then fly from Xi'an to Samui Island (Tibet Airlines). The flight is more than one o'clock in the morning at 9:00 am.

Samui Island

M67***48

Koh Samui is one of the two most popular islands in Thailand. The following are characteristics: 1. The scenery and natural landscape are more quiet and original, and the island is small in size. There are large coconut groves, white sand beaches and clearer sea water, suitable for tourists who like a quiet environment. Surrounding islands such as Pakan Island and Koh Tao are popular places to dive and view nature. Famous attractions: Big Buddha Temple, Namon Falls, Antong National Ocean Park. 2. The best time to travel in the climate and tourist season: February to August, the weather is relatively dry and the sea water visibility is high. There is a rainy season from October to January, but the rainfall is not large and you can still travel. 3. Activity and entertainment are suitable for diving, snorkeling, yoga, meditation and quiet leisure activities. Nightlife is low-key, mainly concentrated near Chaweng Beach. Suitable for couples and family tourists.---4. Accommodation and transportation Koh Samui accommodation options are mostly boutique hotels and resorts, with a quiet and natural blend. Transportation on the island is dominated by motorcycles and taxis. Phuket has a wide range of hotels, from affordable homestays to luxury resorts. There is a relatively complete road network on the island, which is convenient for taxis, car rentals and sudden cars. ---5. The atmosphere of Koh Samui is more leisurely and quiet, suitable for tourists who like niche travel. The number of tourists is relatively small and the degree of commercialization is low. Phuket is more lively and international, suitable for tourists who like vitality and diverse experiences. Commercialization is heavy and tourists are rich in variety. --- Summary suggestion if you like the tranquil natural environment and original ecological scenery, want to stay away from the hustle and bustle, Koh Samui is more suitable for you. Phuket is a better choice if you prefer lively, rich activities and convenient amenities. What travel experience do you prefer? Recommended further refinement!

Lamai Beach is some distance away from Samui Airport. It is much less crowded than the most popular Chaweng Beach and is quieter, but there are also far fewer activities to enjoy and the sand feels a little coarser.
