There is a great deal of variety when it comes to Koh Samui activities. From the wild, mountainous interior to the tropical seas surrounding the little island, there is something to do at every step. For the thrill-seekers, pit yourself against the rocky cliff faces between Lamai and Chaweng or surf the waves on a kiteboard. Check out the local wildlife on a quad bike jungle safari or grab a snorkel and explore the reefs.

If you want more sedate activities on Koh Samui, be sure to try elephant trekking or check out the excellent selection of spas for a relaxing massage. You can also enjoy a round or two of golf, a relaxing sunset cruise or treat the people back home to something more than a cheap T-shirt by taking Thai cooking classes. In the unlikely event that lounging on the beach becomes too much for you, rest assured that there is a host of options.
