A crescent-like white beach surrounded by the blue water shimmering under the sun. As the waves gently sway the water surface, the sea is divided into the distinct colors of light blue to green. This is Samui Island. There are many beaches with clear water and white sand. The scenery is very charming. There are plenty of water sports to choose from. Compared with Phuket, Samui Island has retained a more natural and simple atmosphere. Many celebrities have chosen to spend their honeymoon or holiday here, which demonstrates the charm of the island.Koh Samui · 24.4km from Koh Phangan

The water quality in this area is beautiful and the density of marine fish is high. You can also see the fish swimming in the clear water on the boat. If you want to further explore this beautiful underwater world, there is no other choice but to play scuba diving in the waters of the archipelago. In addition to snorkeling and other water activities, the park also has many natural caves, quiet white sand beaches, coral reefs and various strange rocks. The charming scenery of Antong National Marine Park lies in the beautiful scenery of the park. The vast sea and limestone hills form a beautiful landscape painting. The nearby waters are clean and transparent and rich in marine life. The islands are covered with coral reefs, unique blue saltwater lakes and limestone caves. It is a place that cannot be missed when visiting the islands. The quiet bay is also a good place for diving, swimming and boating. It will definitely take a day to travel around here to experience the pleasant coastal scenery. Visitors can also rent a small boat and roam freely according to their preferences. If you are tired of playing, you can also enjoy food at the tourist service center of Antong National Marine Park. The tourist service center is located on a larger island and can provide tourists with accommodation, catering, ecological introduction and park guidance services. Whether you choose to travel independently or with a guide, the charming scenery here will make people linger. Woniu Island is the location of the National Headquarters. In front of the National Headquarters is a white sandy beach suitable for swimming and canoeing. There are also stalactite caves nearby. The stalactites are shaped like blooming lotuses. The Shanzhong Lake is on Cimu Island. The nearby waters are clean and transparent and rich in marine life. The islands are covered with coral reefs and limestone. In addition, the unique blue saltwater lake and limestone cave are masterpieces of nature, and the geological concave is naturally formed. It is 200 meters wide, 250 meters long, and 7 meters deep. It takes about 15 minutes by boat from the National Headquarters. It is a place not to be missed for island sightseeing. 【Scenery】Good 【Value for money】

Exactly as booked. We booked to feed the elephants and that's what we did, I was just a bit underwhelmed, not sure what I was expecting but maybe to last a little longer. We were offered a complimentary refreshment once finished. Amazing animals, which are clearly loved by the keepers at the sanctuary, my children had a lovely time, so I would certainly recommend this as a family activity whilst on Samui.

This experience will stay with you forever, to be able to share 4 hours with these majestic animals are beyond words, and the information learned throughout your time there is truly enlightening. We really enjoyed making and giving the elephants their vitamin and supplement balls that they need to help keep them healthy and help with there digestive system! what is also apparent from the very moment you arrive, is the respect and care that every employee has for each and every elephant, but most of all for me was the connection felt with the elephants, there left to do whatever they want to do! It’s their choice whether they spend time with you! But they genuinely seemed to enjoy human company! If you’re an animal and nature lover, this is an experience not to be missed!

It is about 20 minutes from the pier. Take a songthaew from the pier for 200 baht per person. When you get there, the beach is mostly rocks. You can't swim in deep water. But the water is very clear and very peaceful. Foreigners like to come and sunbathe during the day. 🥰 You can kayak and snorkel. There are a lot of fish. 🐟🐠🐟
