    Villa Tanamera is the place where I stayed before to settle in Samui. I was with my parents and my 8 y. old brother. It is a small resort on the beach with very beautiful villas where you can have services of a resort and the privacy of a house.
    Staff is helpful and you will for sure like the quiteness of this place. It is situated on Bang Raak / Big Buddha's beach not far from big buddha temple and between the two Bug buddha's piers.
    What I liked here is that you're not far from Chaweng and from Bophut.
    There is absolutely nobody on the beach because there is not a direct acess to the beach for restaurants or any seller's disturbance.
    Sunny days over there make's you feel like in paradise.
    The only thing which would be a black point is the fact that you can hear the planes arrive on samui. (on the first day I was afraid but it actually doesn't bothered me anymore; There is something in that place that makes you feel at home...

  • 2. Samui Ocean Sports
    Samui Ocean Sports, Koh Samui, Surat Thani Province

    We made a sunset cruise on Crazy horse boat: Woaw!! Really nice people : Kunta the captain had a lot of things to tell and as it was a cruise boat my family and I had the time to enjoy time together. My brother was feeling like famous sailors and would have gone to any place in the world.
    For my parents, enjoying a beer and a barbecue on the sea with a sunset was something really appreiable... Don't you think?
    If we choose this company, this is because the boats were right in front of the resort we were staying in...

  • 3. Billabong Surf Club
    Billabong Beach Club, Koh Samui, Surat Thani Province

    Good place. It's an aussie bar situated in Bophut Fisherman's village.
    Not the perfect place for my brother who was starting to boring , but on a selfish way, I never ate a better chili con carne!!!

  • 4. Dr. Frogs Bar & Grill
    Dr. Frogs Bar & Grill, Chaweng, Koh Samui

    Ok. Sometimes dinner time arrive and the only thing you have in mind is a big steak... This is the place!!! Actually this is not the only advantage of this place: It has an amazing see view over the see.
    It is quite expansive but the manager was the kind of restaurant's manager i am waiting for: never there until the moment you need him, able to do ihs very best to provide you what you need. Actually a lot of farang locals go there for having a drink. (there was some really beautiful girl... Sorry to have been there with my family :D :D)

  • 5. Namuang Waterfalls

    This is Waterfalls situated in west of Lamai.
    In that place you have a crocodile farm, elephant treks, and.... Waterfalls!!!
    There is three stages for this waterfalls, depending on your wealth and the number of beers you took the day before :D.
    After a climbing (it is not so easy to get there and I recommend you to take care of your children when going up). But the reward once you are up is so great: Stunning view, ability to swim in the waterfalls and have a kind of feeling of what can be the jungle (Without snakes ;)...)
    My family and I come from france so seeing the face of my brother when he was on the elephant is absolutely the best reward I could ever wonder by coming on this Island.
    When we came back he was so tired that he has been strait away to his bed which is also good when you know him!!! :D :D :D

  • 6. Lamai Beach
    Lamai Beach, Koh Samui

    I don't like Lamai so much because there is " girl's bars eveywhere. but its beach is the one I prefer becausethe sand is great and there is depth when you go swimming.
    You can order a drink in any restaurant and benefit of a sofa seat which makes your stay on this beach even more nice.
    Mum's enjoyed the Thai women which offers you different nails and feet treatments..
    Beware of the dogs there, some of them are not my best souvenir

  • 7. Reggae pub
    Reggae pub, Chaweng, Koh Samui

    Ok, this is a place where I have been without my family: I don't like discotheques with my mother :D
    They have a live a band and this is clearly a samui institution : try it!
