Koh Samui Hidden Gems that NO ONE Mentions 🇹🇭 (Best Island in Thailand)

[@WushuTaz]

Always appreciate you bringing attention to Samui's local businesses. Can't wait to see the rest of this travel series!

[@dominichill1492]

The Island of Koh Samui is so beautiful. Also it looks so peaceful and beautiful out in Koh Samui. Merry Christmas to the both of you Flora and Note. I have loved every single video you both have made in 2023.

[@FloraandNote]

Merry Christmas to you too, Dominic 🥰🎄✨ Thank you for supporting us all year long! Wish you a fantastic 2024 full of joy and adventure!

​@@FloraandNote What about living there?

[@MosesJSaldanha]

So good to see you guys back home ❤

[@FloraandNote]

We might be heading to your home next year 😉

[@SamFournier]

I miss Koh Samui! This video brought back so many good memories for me. It is definitely the best part of the island, I love the relaxed vibe and the owners of Coco Sea Resort are the kindest. ❤ The last place you went to was where I had my first meal on the island too.

[@FloraandNote]

We thought of you guys while staying there too! And was also reminded of the time we saw a snake together hahaha

[@shawnmark7899]

So happy to see your Samui videos again!! Best island ever! Look forward to more of your road trip videos in Thailand with Rocket!

[@ronbeaubien]

If you don't like the look of Crocs, there are also Teva Hurricane sandals which are nice and they are more fashionable. They were originally designed by a Grand Canyon river guide in 1984 and you can even swim in their sandals without fear of losing one.

[@FloraandNote]

Interesting! I’ll have to look those up.

[@RobRodin]

My last trip to Thailand I visited Koh Samui for the first time, only because you two introduced this wonderful Island to us all. I know you guys love it because you had the biggest smiles on your faces throughout the whole video. I can't wait to get back to this Island paradise. Thanks again for sharing this place with us.🌈

[@FloraandNote]

We're so glad to hear you loved it too!

[@chaw294]

Wow, what a great start to your Thailand series....a lovely stay at Koh Samui. It's such a beautiful island. Oh gosh, that seafood meal is indeed yummilicious and the price is a "surprise"...my initial guess is the same as Flora, 2000 bahts plus 😂😅 As always, epic footages and excellent drone shots. Great video and thanks a bunch for sharing. Merry Christmas, Flora & Note.

[@FloraandNote]

Thanks Chaw! Stay tuned for our new episode this evening :)

[@hengluanting8698]

Im truly inspired to go Samui again!! Been to Bangkok recently after C-period & falling in love again with Thailand. Thanks for the clip & hope to cover as many places in your Samui videao🙏🙏

[@FloraandNote]

Hope you’ll make it to Samui next year 😊

[@saiboggs231]

Looks so relaxing. The crabs looked so fresh. Glad you are home. Thanks for sharing.

[@leeleng1458]

A very refreshing video right after your adventure s in Japan. Dinner looks so good especially by the seaside. You guys are enjoying life,keep going!

[@FloraandNote]

Japan was beautiful to explore but we were missing the sabai sabai lifestyle in Thailand :)

[@LivingLikeLionel]

Wow!! those crab is making me hungry!! Yummy!! And the price!!!! I'll visit Koh Samui someday! :) oh what happened to the bloppers at the end of every video? lol Miss those. Have a wonderflo week ahead!

[@FloraandNote]

We'll keep working hard and hope we get there soon!

[@sgraham005]

Note & Flora as a Samui Resident thanks for the great recommendations! I hope you guys have a good start to your newest journey. May Rocket run as good as he/she looks!

[@FloraandNote]

[@FloraandNote]

Happy holidays to you, Gator Jake!

[@drewcorry5056]

Merry Christmas Flora and Note. Outstanding Island. Cheers with liquid breakfast. I would have nearly choked if Flora would have said OK. I saw woody from toy story movies. Absolutely love swimming and beaches. Yummy fried egg and pork. Yum coconut. Beach front that you can hear the waves crashing down from your room and looks awesome. I love to walk. Absolutely love crab and squid. Absolutely loved watching Flora’s face reaction eating the yummy crab. I am craving crab. WOW what a $$ and I would go everyday. Absolutely Loved Every Second

[@FloraandNote]

Hope you're enjoying the holidays, Drew! Thank you for your support all year long!

[@YunaSamui]

Love you guys 👍 wonderful video again. Merry Christmas 🎉

[@alias7859]

I will definitely try to stay at that place when I am there. Thank you for the great tip. What happened to your cat?

[@FloraandNote]

Glad to hear it! Our cat passed away last August. We were able to stay with her until the end and she passed peacefully 🌈

[@sianbiker90]

I love the view from the drone.

[@XECUTA2]

I was in kohl Samui last year we went to Bang Por seafood wasn’t so busy at the time but the food is amazing. We tried their coconuts shrimp pastes dish for the first time

[@geek_out]

Hi Flora and Note, thanks for the informative guide to ko samui! can you show us Pattaya please?

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya. Flora and Note. Beautiful intro. Koh Samui is Gorgeous. Your food looked delicious. What a gorgeous place to eat. Great massage. Lovely place to stay. My son and daughter-in-law spent 3 weeks on their honeymoon in Koh Samui. Your food looked delicious. Great food guide. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderflo weekend.

[@FloraandNote]

You mentioned our food looked delicious twice! You must visit Samui and go try the food there 😂

[@hiteshmanna593]

Very natural couple and details🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️😔

[@IanChav]

Happy you guys are back in Samui, and you brought Rocket. I'm sure all your friends are happy too. Love you guys so much, Merry Christmas!!!

[@katewainwright]

I've never seen shots look so wholesome 😂 the whole video was cute and peaceful 🥰

[@odex]

Thanks to this video, we're giving Samui another chance in June. We last visited 15 years ago and stayed in Chaweng, which we didn't really like. This time, we'll be coming by car and staying at Bang Por Beach. We'll be sure to check out the places you've recommended! :)

[@FloraandNote]

Definitely. Make sure to check out Maenam and Baan Tai beaches too 😊

[@alho9231]

I remember when a 1 hour traditional Thai massage in Chaweng was 200 Baht! Crikey how prices have gone up...

[@billydong9640]

There is no better feeling that to get back to “Home”.. wishing both of you Flora & Note a Blessed and Best of the Season🍾🎉🙏

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you so much, Billy!

[@barbaracharlette7239]

So happy to have found you two through Paddy! We are loving your videos!

[@anissamillar8671]

I was at Koh Samui around the same time. Celebrated Christmas there but the current was strong. We Googled for better beach and was taken to Lipa Noi but when we got there, water was still a little choppy. I don't really watch KZbin etc when I travel so maybe I should cos then I'll know about this area and could finally enjoy the calm water. 7 days in Samui and we ended up driving to Krabi after 1 week in Samui cos we found out the water was much calmer there even though we prefer Samui. Oh well 😄😄😄

[@koisaechao1]

I am planning a trip to Thailand this year, this video makes me want to go sooner.

[@christopherlaw9184]

Let’s gooooo….. We will be there for our first visit in March/April 🎉 Thank you Flora & Note

[@FloraandNote]

Very nice! Hope you'll fall in love with Samui just like us :)

I love watching your videos so much you are such an engaging couple. Bring so much to your channel. Me and my wife are on countdown coming to Thailand for three weeks on the 10th of February Starting in Koh samui and doing 6 other islands in southern Thailand. We can’t wait! ❤

[@FloraandNote]

That sounds amazing! February in Samui is wonderful.. beautiful sunsets everyday 😍

[@jerry15thailand]

Perfect Island for ordinary and general Thailand Tourists but not for individual and real "Island Feeling Searchers and Lovers" . For this you are 20 Years too late, especially in the peak season - but wish you a good Time there and enjoy it 🙏

[@torsten1762]

Yes more of these kind of videos and samui will become full and fuller of tourists...and everybody wonders where the "real thai feeling" is...

[@user-ic2ef7ku9e]

I love you videos of KS!

Thank you! We miss Samui so much..time to go back soon.

Hi Flora, where did you get your top coverage? Love this video.

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

For water TEVA sandals .... so much more beautiful than rubber shoes and much longer lasting

[@1ivandang]

great video ❤❤❤❤❤ how many days would be an ideal to visit the island (Koh Samui)???

[@FloraandNote]

We say, at least 5 days! You can explore the market, beaches, and make sure to do a boat tour in Ang Thong National Park 😊

[@ruthbrockAU]

We love your videos. We are now permanently residing on Koh Samui from the US and its paradise. What is the brand of the vodka you guys had? Sounds delicious.

[@FloraandNote]

It was White Rabbit vodka!

[@ruthbrockAU]

I’ll have to purchase some and thank you!

[@FloraandNote]

Before we left Ayutthaya our guesthouse recommended us to go on the sunset temple boat tour and wow... it was amazing (and very affordable too maybe 350 Baht per person?). Make sure to add that to your list if you visit Ayutthaya :)

[@ginaperks1720]

You inspired me. Have just booked to stay at Coco Sea…. ! Wanted somewhere less touristy …..Last time I was on Ko Samui was before the tourists had found it…only backpackers 😁 I had a hut on Lamai beach for 50 cents per night! A few changes since then 🤣😉

[@FloraandNote]

Hope you'll like it there! There's also two lovely cafes around there - Lay Lagom and WannGram :)

[@kcl2862]

You should buy some land and build your own. It’s an income future.

[@FloraandNote]

That’s the dream! Still saving up for that.

[@sharronjones5653]

What is the name of the bungalows at first of video, please? Loved watching your video. Thank you.

[@FloraandNote]

It’s called CocoSea Bang Por… it’s a bit hard to find on Google Map but I listed the booking.com page in the video description.

[@aureliomega3268]

Hello Flora and Note, I plan to be in Koh Samui beginning of June 2024. I see the forecast and looks like there is going to be lot of rain. Do you think that is still possible to enjoy the beaches/snorkeling with rain? Thanks for your input! Aurelio.

[@FloraandNote]

Hi Aurelio, it’s really hard to say. Usually it’s hot during June/July but doesn’t rain too much, at least not all day.

[@antcullimore3550]

Flora - your crocs look fine 😀

[@nathanh3317]

Everyone slates crocs until they try them! We call ours "adventure flip flops" 😂

[@FloraandNote]

We've been converted now haha

Hey would you recommend Bang Por to first timers. Also is it easy to navigate with no Thai speaking person. We are headed to Koh Samui in March

[@FloraandNote]

Yeah it’s definitely okay for first timers. It helps if you can ride a scooter to get around because it is a bit further to the busy markets and tourist places.

[@TheLogozz]

Hey guys! Thanks for your guide on Samui.You seem to be folks that know where to get a good gym workout at Samui? I know of Koh Fit, but they don't seem to have any air-conned weight lifting space (only cardio). Are e any more options, other than hotel gyms? Also, do you know what resort has the best gym? Cheers from the cold nordics (but thinking about doing something about it...)

[@FloraandNote]

We used to go to Success Gym in Chaweng but during high season it could get crowded. Maybe try Star Gym? It’s also in Chaweng.

[@TheLogozz]

THAT'S what I'm talking about! They both seem good - many thanks! Is early March usually very crowded on Samui?@@FloraandNote

[@johnnyexplorestheworld4729]

nice jeep and video :)

[@NIO777]

That is amazing price $8000 Baht or $309 Canadian They will book fast for sure. New Sub i smashed the Like Button watching from London Ontario Canada.. Been to Thailand once 2 weeks in May 2011 it was incredible Bangkok so big and beautiful Temples and The Beach in Pattaya Rabbit resort Jomtien area. Fantastic trip i will always remember. Your visit with on the ocean front spot the color outside very same as i painted my apartment kitchen Benjamin Moore Meridian Blue Aura paint and Behr Kitchen cabinet white.. I call it Cap Cod look as they paint homes in the USA on the ocean. Great location and video i feel relaxed after watching it with the music and sound of the waves.. cheers and yes i'll have a double on you. You Offered LOL😂🥃🥃

[@FloraandNote]

Sounds like it's time to re-visit Thailand!

[@JustMakeBalls]

Wondering how dengue fever and mosquitoes are in Koh Samui? I’ll be there in a few weeks and mosquitoes love me.

[@FloraandNote]

We don't think mosquitoes that bad in Koh Samui unless you're going into the jungle. But we always carry mosquito repellent with us 😊
