Initially, Koh Samui was not on our list of places we wanted to visit in Thailand…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the second biggest island in Thailand, Koh Samui is one of the most developed and visited holiday destinations of the country. The island has its own airport and is quite busy. Initially, it was not on our list of places to visit in Thailand.\u00a0But after two relaxed and laid back weeks on Koh Tao<\/a>, we headed to Mae Nam\u00a0Beach<\/a> on Koh Samui, to meet up with our good friends to celebrate Sixten’s and my birthday.<\/p>\n We were staying with our friends at their house, that had space enough for 10 persons. The house was located\u00a0in the quiet and relaxed back streets of Mae Nam, next to local\u00a0houses and other villas rented\u00a0out to foreigners.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Staying at a house with good friends, made the trip to Koh Samui really nice. So my first tip about Koh Samui will be to find a house in the quiet backstreets of Mae Nam.<\/p>\n From our friends’\u00a0house, it was 10 minutes walk to the busy main road of Mae Nam and all kinds of good restaurants, street food possibilities and shopping. We loved the local street food places, with dumpling soup and the food stand just outside Tesco express<\/a>, where we tried different chicken sticks, fresh papaya salad,sticky rice, and Grilled Catfish.<\/p>\n
