Brian…you’re not alone! My husband has never turned down a beer either……beach or no beach. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. What a great video! Loved tha you compared the different beaches. We only have about 10 weeks to go to start our world travels and I’m so excited. I’m so grateful for RU-vidrs like y’all that put a lot of our worries and fears to rest. I hope someday we can meet up and have a drink together. Safe travels!

You guys should of gone to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, overall they have better beaches and Koh Phangan is very unique for its Yoga, alternative lifestyles and great varied restaurants 😊. You need to rent a motorbike though for total freedom to explore!

We stay at Silver Beach each time we visit Samui and stay at Crystalbay Resort not the Yatch club as the resort has the better end of the beach.

@michaelferguson6273 Год назад

I agree, it’s my favourite place to stay in Koh Samui

@ryminsta Год назад

I've not long come back from Samui. Spent a good few days at Silver beach resort. It was very reasonably priced to get all that beach, nice cold pool and brilliant staff. Plan to go back early next year

@bolton737 Год назад

I’m with you on chewang beach, stayed there a few years ago did not like it thought it was dirty compared to other beaches on the island. Our first choice is always Lamai stayed several times over the years. Next time take a look at the far southern end of the beach there is a little boutique hotel called Beluga it does a great breakfast and is a fantastic location, also there is a bar on the rocks too. Keep the vids coming 👍

@BrianandCarrie Год назад

Thank you for the recommendation, it sounds like our kind of place. Overall, we really enjoyed Koh Samui and would return and consider someplace different from Fisherman Village, just not Chewang Beach!! Thank you for watching and commenting!! Cheers!!🍻

We stayed at Chaweng Beach in February this year. At Chaweng Garden Resort. Absolutely loved it, loved the beach and the resort. Not upmarket or expensive, but right in the centre of everything. Easy to get to Lamai and Fishermen’s Village. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else, absolutely beautiful beach. We stayed at Lamai a few years ago, the beach isn’t anywhere near as beautiful. Hopefully we’ll be back in Chaweng next year.

nice video, thanks. I tend to agree with you, I stayed in Lamai this past February, 2023. It was quiter than Chaweng, which is what I wanted. Visited lots of places, and Fisherman's Village was great - would stay there next time. I did also stay at that white resorty place at the end of Crystal Bay (silver Beach) as welll. It was great and not so expensive. About $120AUD/ night I think.

@robertmcfarlane4151 Год назад

Another great video with quality content. Excellent information. I have to admit that this is what I expected when you spoke about going to Thailand, the white sand beaches and the clear blue water. Interesting the lack of crowds. The heat sounds intense too for March. All good to know. Surprising to see in these beach videos no swimming happening. With that heat I would admit that videos would have me soaked with wet hair. Stay safe. Enjoy your time. Jaws isn't coming to get you Carrie!

@BrianandCarrie Год назад

Hi, Robert. Koh Samui is still recovering from covid which is good for those of us that are traveling now but the locals are looking forward for tourism to return back to the way it was! You'll be happy to know that we did go snorkeling today!!! 😀 As always, thanks for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

@thepepemia Год назад

We were there in December and the island was very busy . All the flights for December were fully booked , tbh it was too busy . Chaweng was mobbed . So I’m suprise it is so quiet again as other arts of Thailand are busy but it will depend on when you travel .

@Stuhinton89 Год назад

Stayed in Chaweng & fisherman's but Koh samui in general is just my favourite place!

@CyndieGawain 6 месяцев назад

Lamai food is more reasonably priced than fishermans. Beach at lamai often has more trash which is a negative. Also has some pretty strong waves sometimes making it difficult to swim. Sand on most of lamai is more hard packed which makes easier for those of us who like to walk the beach. Only a small part of fishermans beach is good for walking in my opinion. Some is too soft and gravel. I would pick lamai over fishermans for cost of food and walkability of beach

Well we have been on Koh Samui and are staying in fisherman’s village which was influenced by your video. We toured around the island yesterday on a Motorbike we’ve hired and after seeing most other places I think that this is the best place to stay on the island. Lamai would be my other choice.

@BrianandCarrie Год назад

We would agree! We really liked Fisherman's Village, but Lamai is a great choice as well. We had motorbike skills! 😀 It would have made our experience even better.

@StuWNZ Год назад

@BrianandCarrie There are plenty cool places to stay though with nice beaches like Maenam Beach for example, but for dinner options, night markets and any other excitement for us Fisherman's village ticks the boxes. There's no noisy clubs though ans is quiet at night. We are staying at Eden Bungaloes which is on the main street too. Thanks again.

@gchow6009 Год назад

First time watching your video. You answered almost all my questions about Koh Samui. We’re planning to visit Koh samui in Jan 2024 with another family. We’re not into bars nor drinking. We enjoy the water, walking and hiking activities or family friendly activities. Would you highly recommend Fisherman village for us? We also plan to hire a driver since there will be 6 of us. Do you think it’s necessary to do so or the public transportation is sufficient and easy to get around? Btw, I share Carrie’s sentiment about Jaws. 40 years later, it still messes my mind!

@BrianandCarrie Год назад

We would absolutely suggest staying in Fisherman Village and renting a car. Public transportation is fine for us but much less hassle with a family. The cost can add up with 6 of you as well. Carrie did manage to go snorkeling yesterday!! No scary sharks!! 🤣 Thank you for watching and safe travels!

@MarilynHladysh Год назад

Love all your videos. One question about your accommodations in Koh Samui - It sounded like you liked where you stayed but in the posted link you indicate you would only recommend if you have transportation. I was thinking the 15-20min walk to Fishermans village or the cost of the red truck to get there was reasonable. Can you elaborate on the need for your own transportation? Thanks!

@BrianandCarrie Год назад

The 15-20-minute walk is not really a problem for us to explore for the day, although the road has no sidewalks and is busy. If you have mobility issues it would be a problem. We also had to rely on the 7-11 for our groceries and caring bags home wasn't the easiest. Getting a ride every time would have added up over the month. There are nice grocery stores on the island so having transportation would have been nice. Other than that, we did like the place.

@golfinginthailand Год назад

The biggest problem with Koh Samui is beach access. You almost always have to go through a resort or restaurant. Most small places will let you through but they expect your business. Don't expect to use their "facilities" for free if you don't. The local Thais are very angry that they have almost no way to their beaches. That's why Pattaya, Bang Saen, Hua Hin etc get their thumbs up. Poorer beaches but they can use them. I did love the Fisherman's Village area for shopping and food. Great job there.

They will allow you to go through (as I mentioned above) but you aren't allowed to use their washrooms. Parking is very tight and won't allow many cars there. You may not find a table at the restaurant due to the high usage. I still loved this area more than others and we returned at least three times in the 7 days we stayed in Koh Samui.

You will have a fantastic time!! That resort looks like a lot of fun, and a great choice of location. Thank you for watching and safe travels! Cheers!!🍻

What resources do you use for places to stay ? I would like to do 3-6 mos.

@BrianandCarrie 11 месяцев назад

We always use Airbnb for our 1-2 month stays. You may find a much better deal going more local for that long of a stretch.

Why (almost) nobody reviews the other side of Koh Samui??

Using public transportation like we do can sometimes make it difficult and expensive to move around as often as we would like to. Hopefully you can find someone that will cover what you are looking for. Thank you for watching. Cheers 🍻

best place in Samui is the ferry terminal as you leave to go anywhere else compared to 2000 its a horror story compared to 1980 its your worst nightmare large scale tourism has totally ruined it
