098: Is Koh Samui Overrated? My Honest Take After 5 Days

from One Night in Bangkok · host One Night in Bangkok

After 5 days on Thailand's third-largest island, I came back with some surprising opinions. In this episode I break down everything from the pricey flights and a disappointing "5-star" resort to the beach clubs, the food prices, and a run-in with a Samui taxi driver. I went to Koh Samui expecting a relaxing escape from Bangkok during the rainy season, but the trip turned out more stressful than restful. I cover what Samui gets right and what left me disappointed. Whether you're planning your first trip to Thailand or you've lived here for years, this review will help you decide if Koh Samui is actually worth it for you on your next trip. A lot of people love Samui, so if you think I got it wrong, tell me in the comments. I genuinely want to know what I missed.
