Day trips in Koh Samui with local guides

Tours with experienced guides of the Samui Island

The second largest island in Thailand, Samui attracts tourists, who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This corner of paradise with snow-white beaches and blue lagoons is more than 40 km away from the land – hence the feeling of greater privacy than in Phuket or Pattaya. Despite the status of a beach resort, Samui has a considerable number of attractions, so there will be no problems with the construction of a tour route. You can visit the attractions of the island on your own, but a much more convenient and economical option will be group tours under the guidance of an English-speaking guide. Visiting the neighboring islands is also recommended by Excurzilla as part of tours – individual tours have a quite high cost.

Choosing conducted tours, you will not only visit all the tourist must-haves of Samui but also learn many interesting things about it. The list of such places includes not only traditional temple complexes for Thailand but also natural attractions, which the picturesque Samui is famous for. In the list of places that you should definitely include in your tour route there is:

• the Khunaram Temple with its famous mummy of a monk;
• Big Buddha – an unspoken symbol of Samui, a 12-meter statue of the Buddha located on the Fan Island;
• the Plai Laem Temple – one of the most beautiful structures that combines classic Thai, Chinese, and Indian styles;
• the Wat Laem Sor;
• the Wat Praderm Temple, which is considered to be the first Buddhist Temple set up on Samui, it is about 230 years old; the locals visit this place on a massive scale only on holidays;
• the Kiri Wongkaram Temple is not popular among tourists, although it is also possible to see the mummy of a monk here;
• Orthodox Christian Temple on Lamai beach and the rocks located opposite it "grandmother and grandfather";
• Namuang, Tarnim, and Siwa Tara waterfalls with the famous stone of love;
• the Magic Garden of the Buddha, which is famous for its numerous stone statues;
