October 15, 200916 yr Hello, We are heading down to Samui for a week. Has anyone got any recommendations of things to see and do? Do you think it is essential to book all accommodation before arriving or is it quiet at this time of year? We will be looking to stay in budget air-con places. Cheers. PS - whats the weather like today?

PS - whats the weather like today? Weather here is warm & Sunny but over the last few days the occasional heavy downpour once a day. As far as hotels are concerned you will have no problem finding accommodation of any standard, however if I were you I would still book in advance as 'walk in' rates will be probably higher than pre-booking. Our standard visitor attractions are: Namuang Safari Park, Big Buddha (although Plai Laem Temple just round the corner is more impressive), Mummified Monk, Hinta Hinyai Rocks, new TESCO Lotus in Lamai and that's about it.

PS - whats the weather like today? I would recommend the canopy adventure! Really exciting. Going through the tree tops on a zip wire! Your chance to become Tarzan for the day Also i have seen this but never tried it myself.....its a big ball, you go inside it and you get rolled down the hill! Looks imprssive. Maybe someone on here can describe it better or knows if its any good.

October 15, 200916 yr Oh, I thought it was some shooting range where you can have a go on real guns for fun. There is a real shooting range, with real guns & ammunition. Actually two, one opposite Makro, Chaweng (the original one). The other one close to Namuang waterfalls. Just guns. Not like in Cambodia ten years ago with hand grenades and anti-tank missiles. (option to buy a cow for target)
