  Excellent experience. Got to see the top must see attractions condensed into one trip. Our driver Nay was lovely, polite and attentive and our guide Yai was lovely, pleasant, humorous and knowledgeable. Very enjoyable experience for myself and my family. I would recommend Happy Samu to family and friends. Good job

• 5Must Do!

  We had an amazing time on the half day tour. Our guide Yai made the whole trip. He was super knowledgeable and also very funny! Our driver Peter arrived at our resort on time and he was super hospitable the entire day. And Yai’s assistant Boss (😉) was great. Highly recommend this tour to get in all of the major sightseeing attractions in half a day!

About Koh Samui

Koh Samui is a Thai island in the Gulf of Thailand, with coconut palms, white beaches, a giant golden Buddha and a base for nearby marine parks.

Koh Samui, one of Thailand's largest islands, is ringed by coconut palms and beaches, with a hilly jungle interior. Chaweng has the longest stretch of white sand and the liveliest nightlife, Lamai is quieter, and Bophut's Fisherman's Village keeps old wooden shophouses by the shore. On a small islet joined to the north-east shore by a causeway, the 12-metre seated Big Buddha looks across the water.

Top-ranked sights in Koh Samui: Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk), Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai), Na Muang Waterfall.
