BOTH ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL.............
SAMUI WOULD BE MY CHIOCE..........
A VERY NICE PLACE TO RELAX AND HAVE A NICE PEACEFUL TIME.........
KRABI WOULD BE CHEAPER THOUGH........BUT NOT AS NICE..
WELL THATS MY OPINION.........IJ

Thanks for you quick reply.
I've been to Samui already and doesn't like Samui for two reasons the accomodation(concrete walls between the hotels not engouh space and the hotels facilities lack of fitness club and big swimming pool ) and the sea lice we found in the beach.
Do you anything about Krabi?Is there any big difference betw Samui and Krabi ?
Cheers

krabi is very small and there is not that much to do really unless you like to go on boat trips. the beach is beautiful though and it has a little night life. not very good if you want to stay for a week. better to go for 2-3 nights. sumui is much more lively and has a younger crowed as we all know. there is good night life in my opinion, and there is lot's to do, there a more BG'S in sumui too, the beachs in sumui are better then krabi but more busy. when it comes to hotels i don't really know to much as we always rent out the bungalows, which are very basic anyway. i think if you wanna stay more then 2-3 nights then go to sumui, or go to both.

Thanks Louis.
It's a good idea but during that period Samui would be very crowded and the prices will go higher. Will think about it.
Nightlife is not our main purpose. OUr preference:subathing,relaxing,sightseeing and shopping.

aussie dollar · #10 12-02-2006, 16:58

what about kata and karon bit queiter than patong and beaches pretty good ?

Isabellla · #11 12-02-2006, 17:39

Already stayes in Phuket and I prefer Phuket rather than Samui.
And what about Koh Lanta instead of Samui?

fzbkk · #12 14-02-2006, 21:19

I visited Krabi and the main beach was crap! I personally would not like to swim there and didn't. I assume the islands off Krabi are much better.

**edit**

I stayed in the main tourist area, and im talking about Ao Nang Beach. Guess You need to venture further a field to find the good ones.

How can I do for going from Bangkok to Ko Samui ?

and the cost of the flight ?

Thanksssssss

ld321 · #14 29-03-2006, 21:57

Gogo bars on Kho Samui ?

LivinLOS · #15 29-03-2006, 22:11

Bangkok air fly that route.. How about you look on the BKK air website for the dates your thinking of..

Yes there are 2 gogo's on Samui.. Bit over priced and not up to bkk or pattaya standards.. One at the left hand entrance to Soi Green Mango and one farther down into the soi and round the loop.

ld321 · #16 30-03-2006, 12:57

Thanks Livin !

May be it's better to bring the girls with from BKK ?

LivinLOS · #17 30-03-2006, 13:08

Theres plenty of BG down in both Lamai (my prefered area) or Chaweng.. But they are not in general as high a standard of looks as bkk and patts but they are usually very friendly and more GFE type experience I feel..

For the lookers there seems like quite a bit of competition and the tourists there tend to the younger side also.. Hard to say as I have never been to Samui without wife or GF..

All in all like Samui but I am not a fan of Chaweng.. Some great little spots round the island though..

Hi Isabellla, I know your asking about Koh Samui & Krabi
but you may want to check out Koh Chang thats a very beautiful island to!
Go here and check out my video of Koh Chang and pictures : http://www.agwebdesigns.com/Thailand/Home.htm:)

Isabellla · #19 16-07-2006, 15:17

Thanks awg.
I gave Bali a try but I can tell you what a disappointment.

Woul def. go back to Thailand without any doubt.
Now I am between Krabi and Phuket

awg · #20 16-07-2006, 15:23

Isabellla, Koh Chang is in Thailand LOL just off Trat!

Isabellla · #21 18-07-2006, 21:35

Of course I know where is Trat.
The hotels and the place is not our choice.
Would prefer Phuket and the connection flights time is not the best. (two days only for travelling).
