Is Koh Samui value for money?
Again, it depends on what you want to compare it with.
Once flight tickets are paid, Thailand offers value for money for services and products produced locally. Koh Samui is no exception.The island offers beaches, activities and events to be entertained for a long holiday. We have often visitors spending a month or more in Koh Samui coming back for more year after year.
However, compering Koh Samui with other locations like Chiang Mai for example, Koh Samui is slightly more expensive. The island, a beautiful beach destination with many luxury resorts, is considered like a “Thai version of Saint Tropez” specially in Bophut and Chaweng Beach with many 5 stars resorts. Chaweng Noi and secluded areas are very popular with many top hotel brands like Four Seasons, Belmond, Ritz-Carlton, Melia, W, and luxury villas with private beach and infinity pool.
Around Lamai Beach the atmosphere is more laid back and affordable. If you are into SPA, you can expend on a Thai Massage anywhere between 300 Baht or 3000 Baht.
