Koh Samui: Paradise on Earth or a Ruined Vacation? Is It Worth Visiting in 2025-2026?
Koh Samui: Paradise on Earth or a Ruined Vacation? Is it Worth Visiting in 2025–2026? An honest, unvarnished analysis. October 2025 marks the transition to the low season: what's the weather, waves, and seaweed like? How have prices and the island's feel changed after the White Lotus hype? Who will really love Koh Samui this winter?
This is the third part of my moped journey through Thailand. I reached Koh Samui, spent a few days there, talked to locals and expats, and gathered answers to the main question: Is Koh Samui still "the same" or not? And is it worth visiting in the 2025/2026 season?
