Samui Samui is an idilic tropical paradise and if you want to do nothing more for 2 weeks than lie in exactly the same spot, shaded by palm fronds whilst the sun gently warms your skin and the sea laps gently on the sand then you will certainly not be disappointed. However, if you can be lured from the beach you will find entertainment both in the numerous water sports which are available and the chance of seeing a bit of the local culture.   After all, if so much delicious seafood is available, there must be interesting fishing villages to visit. Also, the interior of the island is primarily a jungle so if getting up a sweat on some of the jungle trails is your thing then you won't be disappointed either.   You may even discover  a waterfall to cool off in.               More About Samui...
