Absolutely phenomenal Italian food! We highly recommend the lamb, but honestly, we've never had a bad meal here.

Samons is about 700 metres from your Home away from Home and has what we believe to be the best pizza on the island! Their menu is French continental and everything is reasonably priced.

Simply the best freshly made baguettes on the island! It's a great place to sit on the covered patio and people watch as it's in the heart of Fisherman's village.

Probably the best budget Thai seafood restaurant on the island. Located on Bangpor beach, this "hole-in-the-wall" style restaurant doesn't look very special from the outside, but the food is fantastic and super affordable. The staff are usually pretty surly, but who cares... cheap, yet awesome Thai seafood awaits you! This place is also great for taking pictures of the ocean with authentic Thai Longtail boats in the background. It's an Instagram user's dream come true... and did I mention the food is fantastic! This is one of Amorn's favourite restaurants.

Authentic Thai food that is always busy. Amorn and Chris go here a lot as our favourite server (whom Chris calls "Big Mama") ensures her staff are always on the ball and there's almost no waiting. The amount of people they can pump through this place is jaw-dropping at their busiest times. The food is inexpensive and the flavours are authentic Thai. It's on the main ring road so don't expect much of a view, but who cares when the food and service is top notch!

Of all the mediterranean restaurants on the island, this on is by far the best! Fantastic hummus and freshly made pita bread are but a few of the highlights of this restaurant. Chris gets take-away from here all the time! (Lamb kebabs, yellow rice and Israeli salad... sometimes the lamb spring rolls too) It's a bit of an effort to get to, but if you decide to go to a Muay Thai fight one night, this place is literally next door to Chaweng Stadium and makes a great stop pre-fight.

Sightseeing

Considered by locals to be the best beach for families with small children. It's less than half a kilometre from your Home away from Home.

Lots of great restaurants, shopping and the weekly night market make Fisherman's village a must see for visitors to Koh Samui.

The jungle club has perhaps the best views on the island... this is a great place to have a cold beer and watch the sunset. They offer a shuttle from the bottom of the hill for those who fear driving up the steep road (for an extra fee).

If you want to party, people watch, drink alcoholic bevies while listening to non-stop trance music, this is your place. It's in the heart of Chaweng Beach and is pretty much party central.

Activities

Shaded beneath many coconut trees, Samui Disc Golf is a fun, yet inexpensive way to spend a day with the whole family. There's a clubhouse and drinks can be purchased at a reasonable price... They also have food sales as the owner Nigel, has a catering business as well. We highly recommend this activity!

If you're looking for a gym on Koh Samui, then look no further than Superpro Samui, as they have it all! Amorn and Chris have spent many an hour working out here, (but we're a bit lazy now in our old-age ;-) ) doing Muay Thai, Crossfit or just lifting weights in the gym. The GM's name is Robbie and he and his wife Kwang run a tight ship at this gym. Most of the trainers are also fighters at the local May Thai stadiums so if you get to know them, going to see them actually fight (and usually win) really personalizes this activity. We're happy to give you more info about this activity.
