Full description
This suggested itinerary includes many highlights for you to see while visiting Koh Samui. Your first stop could be the Lady Monk temple or the famous Big Buddha temple on the north end of the island. After that, you can go to the Chaweng viewpoint to enjoy the stunning views of the bays around Chaweng. A little further down south, you can find the Grandfather and Grandmother rock (also called Hin Ta & Hin Yai). Then you will go to a rubber plantation where you can see the rubber trees and the way the rubber is extracted from them. Further to the south of the island, you will visit the Mummified Monk and its surrounding temple area. You will also go to Namuang waterfall where you can go for a swim! You can also stop by some nice beach side restaurants for lunch or dinner to have a little break. The driver will pick you up from your accommodation anywhere on the island, bring you to the places you desire and will drop you off when the tour is finished.

We hired a car to go around samui ourselves. The driver went to a different location and we had to wait an hour for him to come to our hotel. Hence, we started an hour later. The driver was courteous and in his limited English took us to see some nice temples, the waterfall, the rocks, mummified monk etc. He also suggested a nice place for lunch-Sabienglae Restaurant in Lamai. All in all, it was a nice ride and we could see some interesting places at our own pace.

Mr. Koh was fantastic! Professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and so thoughtful about Our experience in Samui. He made excellent recommendations and was totally accommodating with our desired itinerary. He took us to places we would have never learned about on our own. His car is clean and he was super attentive to our grumbly teenagers! He took pictures for us too. We had the best time and would highly recommend! #mrkoh #drivesamui

He is early with his pick up. Very helpful by telling us how to get around the sites, volunteer to take pictures for us at various stops. He would warn us about sites which may not be too welcoming (with mosquitos) and suggested even better sites for us (Namueang Waterfall). He is cordial and easy to communicate (English is pretty good).
