HAve been looking at accomodation for this years holiday.
Have booked flights to Koh Samui, returning from Bangkok 2 weeks later.
Plan to stay 7 nights on Koh Samui. It is our first visit.

Not decided on 2nd weeek yet, but obviously have to make our way up to Bangkok. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Have been looking at Samui Orchid Resort and aquariam in Hat Na Thian.
There are various pictures about this resort on the internet. From what I understand, it was taken over about a year ago. We are looking at booking a 2 bed beach bungalow which look really nice. It is a bit out, but courtesy travel is supplied to Lamai.
It is next door to the aquariam and Tiger Zoo.
Anyone any experience or comments about this resort?
Thanks.

hi Debs
when are you going? I haven't been to the hotel but have looked at the location and would say it would be fine if you want to be away from it all. If you like a bit of nightlife you may find it a bit of pain transport wise. Looks a good place to be during the day though!
What are you looking for in your holiday? If you give us a little more info I'll bet others will jump in with suggestions!

We are going in August (school holidays!).
We are looking for a 2 bedroom villa/apartment.
(there are 4 of us, 2 teenagers).
Not worried about nightlife - just need somewhere to eat each evening.
Want somewhere with a good size pool, not too crowded.
Comments vary greatly. Although more recent comments have been positive.

Also take a look at Mae Nam and Bo Phut to the north. Fishermans Village is next to BoPhut and is a great place for restaurants without being too busy. No nightclubs there but some nice little bars as well. Mae Nam is right next to Bophut. Both are easy to get to Chaweng from although you may not want to be bothered!
You also said you were looking for somewhere else? Hua Hin or Cha Am are within easy distance of Bangkok. Not really great for beaches but plenty of choice for nice hotels with great pools!
