Regular readers will know I am not really one for the Thai ex-pat beach scene. Most of my colleagues can't wait for the end of term to get sand in their feet. I really like the beach for a morning and then I'm bored. However, its covid and options to travel are somewhat limited. Also, lots of top hotels have cracking deals on so we can stay somewhere nice and not break the bank.
However, I have to say Koh Samui was really nice. A few days reading by the pool, walking along the beach and lots more too. There is a lot to see here away from the sea front... We made the trip across the island to the secret garden. The work of a sculptor who has, amongst a stream and waterfall sculpted a massive array of statues from Thai mythology.... A really nice hour or so wandering about. It's a bit of trek to get there but it is lovely and shaded and so cool once you do.
