Koh Samui is a regular recipient of TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice awards. Since we started paying attention in 2010, the island has received high praise each year. How does Samui stack up?
2010… A sweep – we’d say. Look where it popped up, in all sorts of categories:
- #2 – Best for Relaxation & Spa, Asia
- #6 – Best for Beach & Sun, Asia
- #7 – Best for Romance, Asia
- We should also mention Koh Samui’s mainland neighbour, Surat Thani, which won #10 – Best Outdoor & Adventure, Asia
2011…Amidst a very pretty pack:
- #4 – Best Beaches, Asia
2012…and, this year, holding its own in a brand new category:
- #10, Best for Food & Wine, Asia
- Nearby island Koh Tao also claimed #11 for Best Destination, Asia
It’s easy to tack a visit to Surat Thani on to your holiday; its beautiful national parks are definitely on our to-do list. The same goes for Koh Tao, a few hours’ boat ride away, where top diving spots await.
