I am travelling to Koh Samui for a week, end of dec/beginning of jan....solo traveller (was supposed to be on vacation from today, still wanna make it on my own and use the ticket) i'm after any advice anyone can give me really! Where is best to stay? not too expensive but not a backpackers’ place too, friendly (possibly to meet some like-minded people), by the beach. I would like to try a dive course out there, some tours around islands. Heading to koh phangan first for countdown fool moon party, 2 nights more than enough over there? less? better to stay on Samui?
Any suggestion on a hotel on Samui from “veterans†?
Thank you
