I stayed on Koh Samui for about 5 months back in 1987. It was still unspoiled in many places but it was changing fast. They were building the airport at the time. I remember riding a motorbike down the runway at full speed when there was nobody around!

I recently spent 2 months in Samui, I stayed in Bangrak. I loved seeing you film the island, it brought me back so many memories!😍

I just came back from Ko Samui last week, and after living in Thailand for the past ten years, this was the first I didn’t enjoy visiting the island. The “quiet streets” were packed with traffic, and the main roads were occupied by speeding van drivers trying to overtake on the wrong side of the road, making it dangerous and a nightmare to get around the island. I lost count of how many accidents I saw 😢

[THAIRIFICMIKE]

Oh yeah it’s great to see Samui back in high season action and full of life! Thanks Chris for showing everyone around the place I’m grateful to call home.

I actually preferred Koh Samui during 2020 😅 It was so peaceful

Such a heart warming video of my favourite island in Thailand ….from music to the narration….bang on …the video did something to my heart …

I randomly picked Bangrak area on agoda last June for my first visit, wasn’t very busy but a great vibe, stayed at The Shore. Went over to fishermen’s village one night and it was overpriced vapid instagramer selfie land 😂 On the other hand going up to the standing Buddha on top of the mountain at sunset was a highlight, also one of those big waterfalls by the Ferry side of the island has a 2-3 mile hike to it so not a single person was there 😊

It's been changing since about 1980.When I first went there, a bungalow on the beach was the same price as a beer. You had to go to the post office to make a telephone call off the island. There was 1 bank and NO ATMs, every foreigner on the island had to go to that same bank to get money, the bank is actually still there and it looks the same. It's still fun, just different.
