SantiSuk Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Koh Samui the 3rd best island. A matter of personal taste I know but I thought the place sucked - falang island, not proper Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Off topic posts deleted. This is Samui Forum, so please try & keep discussion in line with Op's initial remark, about being voted # 5 island in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wolfe Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Top Islands Overall: Rank '08 Name Score 1 2 Bali 87.41 2 1 Galápagos 86.80 3 10 Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia 86.09 4 4 Kauai 85.90 5 - Mount Desert Island, Maine 85.87 6 3 Maui 85.48 7 - Aeolian Islands, Italy 85.13 8 - Maldives 84.43 9 7 Big Island 83.92 10 - Vancouver Island 83.74 So internationally, we don't even make the top 10. For Asia: Rank '08 Name Score 1 1 Bali 87.41 2 - Maldives 84.43 3 2 Phuket , Thailand 80.93 4 - Cebu , Philippines 79.68 5 - Ko Samui , Thailand 79.29 I can't find any information on the poll regarding numbers of participants or questions or anything. So that makes the whole thing suspect in my book. ...Islands in Maine and NS? Keep in mind this is a US publication. So the people responding are likely to be Yanks.

Birdman Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 right, best islands for Germans or Swedes for example would be a totally other list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
