Adivise About Moving To Kok Samui

Featured Replies

I have heard a lot of good (and bad) things about this beautiful island. So i am thinking of moving there.. But the information on this forum gives me second thought. ...

Is it really so dangerous there and whant about drugs? Also, a friend if mine who has recently been there told me that virtually every foreneigner on Koh Samui has tattoos!! What is that about. Will I be accepted without? What about the general atmosphere or is it all about R&R and Bars etc..

Oh yes, they do a tatoo-check at the pier. No Tatoo, No honey..or it was...

I reckon you've never been to Samui before.

So the old advice : Go to samui and rent for 6 months, than you have a base to make up your mind OBJECTIVELY. Simple and efficent.

Good luck

Opinions vary! Visit for yourself and judge.

It, in my experience, is not dangerous. I have never come across drugs when there.

I'm a farang and have no tatoo, neither has my farang wife!

Samui has something for everyone. Very quiet in some places, just quiet in others, a bit wild here and there, and madness in other places. It depends on what you like/want.

As already said, visit for an extended period and make up your own mind. Good luck.
