Looking for the perfect tropical holiday? Koh Samui is one of the best destinations for you then, and here's a basic guide on how to plan your tour. When it comes to planning, packing plays an important part. So, how to pack for your Koh Samui holiday? What to pack? What are the top essentials? Let's find out!
Thailand is a dream destination for many travellers and Koh Samui is one of the best island-escapes there. Sunny vibes, sandy shores and shades of beautifully grown palm trees will surely make any traveller fall in love with this magical destination- Koh Samui and this is guaranteed.
If you plan a Koh Samui holiday escape, first plan your dates and then the perfect beach resort in Koh Samui for you. If you are travelling with your partner, your family or even with a bunch of friends, you may consider choosing a property such as Santiburi Koh Samui as they have world-class hospitality services.
Note- If you have kids with you for the tour, Koh Samui is still a great destination with a lot of kid-friendly activities.
No matter when you go to Koh Samui, it will be sunny and bright throughout. So, sunscreen is a must for your Koh Samui tour. Take a good one with a higher SPF value, so that you can stay protected throughout your holiday. Also, take a hat and sunglasses with you, to stay extra covered.
Wondering what if your skin still gets burnt? Well, this is why you will have to take a good lotion also with you.
Note- If you are a traveller who doesn't normally pack a lot of liquids when travelling to a new destination, and takes whatever the creams and lotions from where you step into, keep in mind that you can hardly do this in Koh Samui. Sun protection creams and lotions in Koh Samui can be very expensive, and sometimes their SPF values also are less. So, the wise decision is to take them with you when you go.
Not to make you afraid- but you will need to take a bug spray with you when you travel to Koh Samui. Koh Samui has different sorts of bug sprays (herbal as well as non-herbal) and you may take one from there too. But to save your time and effort, it's always better to take one with you.
As mentioned before, Koh Samui is all about sunny and beach vibes, so you know what clothes to pack! You may wear bikinis on the beach, and this may not be frowned upon. When visiting other places of attraction, make sure you wear some decent clothes. Take a sarong with you for the safe side, and you may sometimes need it when visiting temples in Koh Samui.
Pack some breathable and lightweight clothes, so that you can spend your Koh Samui holiday freely and happily.
Note- Don't forget to pack one jersey as well! Some hotels and restaurants tend to be too cool sometimes, so you will not be able to do anything for that, rather than having your jersey on!
Take your shoes (don't forget your slippers!) and your towels as well. If you are on medication, make sure you take all your pills and then your prescriptions too. Even if you are not on daily medications, take a first-aid kit with you because you never know when you will need it.
Pack additional batteries for your camera (since you have a lot to capture when in Koh Samui) and the phone/laptop/camera chargers too.
