Koh Samui - the final verdict

Overall I wasn't a big fan of Koh Samui. Granted I liked the airport (although Bangkok Airways own it which is why its so expensive to fly into as they have the monopoly on it) and I also ended up loving shambolic Shambala because it was very laidback, had an empty beach where I could hula in the morning and their rice soup (Kao Tom Gai) was the best yet.

I also loved my spa treatment, the waterfalls, Bo Phut and my noodle man. However the island felt too touristy, lots of ex pats, sex tourists, pole dance bars and it was hard to meet people.

When I arrive at the port to catch the boat to Koh Tao I see and meet loads of people - where had they all been hiding?
