Great post! We went to South East Asia for our honeymoon back in December 2011. Originally we were only supposed to go to Thailand but due to the floods in the area at the time, we re-arranged our trip and instead decided to explore other South East Asian countries including Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Southern Thailand, including Koh Samui! We stayed at a beautiful modern newly built top-notch resort in Bophut РMantra Samui Resort. Everything about this resort was fabulous: the rooms were so spacious and clean with a romantic Thai d̩cor, the staff was extremely friendly and so helpful, we even took a picture with the whole staff on our last day there because we fell in love with all of them! The resort restaurant was first-class with lots of variety but the definite highlight was their wood fired pizza. They were to die for! We would encourage anyone going to Koh Samui to stay at this resort and on your first day take the tour of the island offered by the resort, which includes all of the sites mentioned in this list and few that were missed (the Na Muang waterfall is an absolute must see!). Tours like this are a great opportunity to explore the island and figure out what kind of activities you would like to do for the rest of your stay. Other recommendations for Koh Samui: visit the Big Buddha, go to Muai Thai boxing match, walk on the Chaweng beach and hit up some nights clubs in Chaweng!
