Just back in Samui to avoid Ramadan in Indonesia.
Drove through Chaweng yesterday and it’s become more commercial than ever. I’d be inclined to have a look at what’s on offer in Lamai during low season. Nicer, more relaxed vibe. Friends tell me it’s unusually quiet even for low season.
Try going direct to the hotel websites. A switched on GM May be looking to fill empty rooms at bargain prices.
I prefer the quiet familiarity of Bangrak and Big Buddha beaches. Try secret Garden. Beach front resort with a small family pool. Drinks are expensive but the foods good. A nice fresh fish and seafood market on hand to supply all the seafood restaurants your missus will love.
PM me if you do make it here. First beers on me.
