hoxman Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Can someone recommend a good picnic location on the island? Maybe some favorite beach area or ??? Don't want a long hike to get to it, but do prefer some seclusion, not right in front of a resort. We want to get away for this upcoming Mother's Day for a picnic lunch. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I don't know Koh Samui, but look for a beach with trees and facing the dominant winds. 2 reasons: wind from the sea will cool down the place a bit and also wind will keep moskito activities down - trees: shadow.

Gulfsailor Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Food court at Tesco or BigC. Ever since Central opened these places are nearly deserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Food court Tesco still bustling as usual, and BigC is still same same quiet as it has always been.With their prices, Central aren't gonna make much difference for the type of people who likes to eat and shop at Tesco.There are some really spectacular secluded places, but requires a 1 km or so trek, so I won't mention it.But there are some OK one between Choeng Mon and Chaweng. When you head from Choeng Mon, and suddenly there should be an area with a 7-11 and some houses, there will be a small road heading for the ocean. There is like a steel beam blocking the road, but you should be able to take a motorbike or walk anyway. It's about 200 walk and you'll get a small private beach all for yourself.

Popular Post samuijimmy Posted August 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2014 There really is a ton of places you can find nice quiet beaches with out a bunch of people or resorts... with out a long walk. This is Ban Por beach, there are several access points.... never see big crowds there... Ban Tai beach is nice too, rarely many people there, although now bit of a walk, from parking area....(nice sand for kids) Several nice beaches south of Thaling Ngam watch for signs for Conrad, but there are several roads that end up with quiet beaches 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjj Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Paradise Park Farm. IMO one of the most relaxing places on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The most relaxing place for me would be a place in stunning nature, easily accessible and without any others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
