Among the videos on what to do in Koh Samui, this was the most informative one I've seen :) Thank you for making content like this 😊

[@hanzymirs]

Thanks for this awesome video, really helpful. Visiting this island next week and i'll go check out these places ❤

[@francinedacunharodrigues5402]

[@juliaayers111]

Great video Matt, thank you for the info :)

[@TheMattJames]

My pleasure!

[@tdm6723]

I just got to Samui and this video pops into my feed! Thanks for the tips bro 🤙🏼 This helps a lot!

[@TheMattJames]

Happy to help!

[@S_B_K]

Hey Matt, Great video and it provide lots of information about the destination but I wanna correct something, Lord Buddha was born in Nepal not in Indian royal family whereas he died in India, his real name was Siddartha Gautam.

[@cody1429]

I was a little bummed because I wanted to go to Phuket instead of Koh Samui but realized Phuket will be in rain season and Koh Samui would be dry season on my trip. This video made me feel much better about it and more excited for it.

[@richvicious]

what are you talking about, they are only a few hundred miles apart... they share the same seasons.

[@tinasch.2679]

Same here! 😊

[@tinasch.2679]

@@richviciousThat‘s not correct. Rainy season starts in September in Koh Samui 😊

[@marisamorais3150]

@@richviciousthey don’t lol, rainy season in Koh samui is harder is September to november and phuket is july august

[@richvicious]

ok I googled it, and stand corrected, koh samui has 3 distinct seasons, as compared to phuket which has 2, they slightly overlap.

[@cryptosunflower840]

Love your style. And perfect timing…I’m going to Koh Samui in a couple of weeks. Would you mind saying nice places to stay? The place you’re shooting from looks pretty.

[@TheMattJames]

This was filmed at a hotel in Koh Tao! But in my Koh Samui series, I feature of fantastic hotel that you should definitely check out.

[@TheMattJames]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@SergoSS79]

Hey, nice video! I wonder what is the situation with using drones for filming in Samui? Is it allowed?

[@natalymartinez3299]

Hi to do this list of things, how many days do I need in ko Samui?

[@nicolasmaritz]

What is your favourite Thai island? would love to0 do Koh tao next !

[@antonsingarayar154]

I like to visit end August is it better weather in samui

[@l-b7353]

hi, the point of view with the big rock in ko samui, is there fee to enter ? and how much ?

[@Osirisxoffline47]

thank god no Ai 10 top BS cheers coming here next year for a muay thai camp

[@JM32023]

Hi Matt, which side if the island is best to stay? Best beaches. Is the island accessible to go around in a day? Any public transportation or rental car is best option?

[@drewcama2488]

So where is overlap stone located? And Where is the Secret Buddha Garden?

[@leighamartin2549]

Great video Matt,What month was this vlogged in please .. ive heard ko samui and that side of the islands, it rains heavily in November and December . Im planning to come mid nov to mid dec . Is this a good idea ?

[@TheMattJames]

I came in July-sept!

[@haeyoun865]

Hi, was ist das für eine Unterkunft? Wie heißt das Bungalows

[@66Jigsaw]

great videos mate! any issues with using the drone? I'm off to there next Sunday 07/04 🙂

[@TheMattJames]

I had no problems!

[@michaelahumada936]

Great video! But I can’t see the guide that you’re recommending unless it’s called get your guide? Or Viator?

[@TheMattJames]

In the description it’s the second one, private tour

[@user-zz9fg1sc3g]

The Stones ends on weird spots usually because some years ago they been under water.

[@sirllamalot3196]

Yeah it was not due to aliens because no aliens have ever visited earth

[@NitikaRawatt]

Hi Matt, very nice video. .especially the background music is so thoughful! I am going to Visit Koh Samui but I am not confident in driving a two wheeler. Could you help me with ideas on how can I explore the area - is the public transport good? So apps like Grab/Bolt work in Koh Samui? please help

[@TheMattJames]

I put links in the description for tour guides I recommend that can take you around

[@NitikaRawatt]

@@TheMattJames thanks 😊

[@Thaiwithsi]

Hey Matt. Thanks for the super informative info. I’m planning a trip to KS arriving in February. The place you are recording from looks super chilled and my style of accommodation. Can you tell me where that is . 🙏🏽

[@TheMattJames]

This was the haad rin resort in koh Tao, but i stayed at bophut resort in samui which was lovely

[@Thaiwithsi]

Thanks Matt very much appreciated. Keep up with the awesome vlogs. I’m going on a 6 week tour of Thailand to figure out where my sweet spot is to retire in. Im a quiet guy who loves fitness but enjoys the odd night out. Krabi/koh Lana looks like it may be a good spot , if you have any suggestions I would be interested in getting your opinion 🙏🏽

[@TheMattJames]

my next travel series over the upcoming month is shot across krabi and koh lanta, so stay tuned! @@Thaiwithsi

[@Thaiwithsi]

cant wait... @@TheMattJames

[@kartoffel6990]

What’s a „normal“ price to visit Ang Thong National Park? (we are four students that’s why I ask for a cheap option) Thank you guys!

[@TheMattJames]

Hey! I linked a cheaper option in my video description. I think it goes as low as £20 per person

[@Apex1337]

Please 🙏 can you link the secret buddha garden tour guide link ? I couldn't find it . Thanks

[@TheMattJames]

it's in the video description!

[@Apex1337]

Haad tien resort in koh Tao!

wherere did you stay? I like the bungalow behind you :) thanks

haad tien resort!

[@thomasmaly1]

Es macht sicherlich Spaß oben auf dem Jeep zu sitzen. Ich muss aber dazu folgendes sagen. Es ist schon ein paar Jahre her, vor Corana, da kam es zu einem folgenschweren Unfall bei einer ähnlichen Tour (nicht mit Ken) Ein Jeep kippte um und begrub die oben auf dem Jeep sitzenden Touristen unter sich, die leider zu Tode gequetscht wurden. Ich rate deshalb dringend davon ab. Diese Jeep Touren sind echt klasse nur eben nicht auf dem Führerhaus 😢

[@michaelahumada936]

Do you have the actual guide’s contact where he can customise some trips for me?

[@TheMattJames]

Yes, I linked one in the video description I used

[@raymundoriestracrespo1563]

WICH MONTH WAS IT???

[@AnnkurKumar]

Are you talking about bodhi-dharman

[@BigKokka]

I like this indian music

[@Steger13]

Expensive there, modt of the restaurant and hotel are foreigner own.

[@demigorgon9847]

are you welsh?

[@bipulsh4676]

Your video is awesome and informative but with some misinformation. Gautam Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal not in India. Some research before making a video would have been better.

[@andreimihaesi]

Pig Island too! 🐖

[@kelso4962]

That’s Jamaica dummy

[@AH-mt3ik]

Before the Europeans cames ^^ 🤣🤣
