There is a great deal of variation available for activities and things to do on Koh Samui. There is something to do every step of the way, from the wild, rugged interior to the tropical seas surrounding the island. For thrill-seekers, pit yourself between Lamai and Chaweng against the rugged cliff faces or surf the waves on a kiteboard. On a quad bike jungle safari, check out the nearby animals, or take a snorkel and discover the reefs. 
Koh Samui
Be sure to scope out the excellent option of spas for a soothing relaxation if you like more sedate activities on Koh Samui.  Things to do involve taking Thai cooking lessons, you may even enjoy a round or two of golf, a fun sunset cruise or treat people back home to something better than a cheap T-shirt with some shopping. Rest assured that there are a variety of alternatives in the unfortunate case that lazing on the beach becomes too much for you.

Zip-lining and Canopy Adventures

The breathtaking bird's eye views of the dense rainforest of Samui and its surroundings are absolutely unparalleled. To compliment your Samui stay, zipping along from line to line and pretending to be a modern-day Jane or Tarzan is a perfect and special activity. The advantage of Canopy Adventures is that no experience is required since the professional team utilizes high-quality equipment and gear to prepare each rider beforehand.

Boat tour to Ang Thong Marine Park

Ang Thong National Marine Park is a beautiful archipelago of 42 islands situated in the Gulf of Thailand, is reached by boarding a boat that leaves from Koh Samui. The region spans more than 100 square kilometres and consists of forests, jungles and white sandy beaches. While on your journey, there are also caves, waterfalls and lakes to visit. The region itself is safe and is host to a diverse range of rare species. Through renting a tent during your visit, you may opt to camp for the night on one of the islands. Ang Thong was the spot in the novel 'The Beach' where the backpackers set up their underground camp, but the movie was shot on Koh Phi Phi.

Temples

In Koh Samui, Buddhist Temples (Wats) and Chinese Shrines abound. Buddhism is the faith practised by the majority (over 90 per cent of citizens are Buddhist), followed by Islam, Taoism, and Christianity, as in the rest of Thailand. Paradoxically, Chinese merchants and Muslim fisherman became the first-ever settlers on the island. 
Many ancient Buddhist temples and Chinese shrines are located in Koh Samui, including two remarkable religious landmarks: Samui Big Buddha, a huge 15-meter sitting Buddha overlooking the sea on the northeastern shore, and Wat Plai Laem, a majestic temple in the same location with a striking white 18-arm statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Grace and Compassion.

Shopping

In Koh Samui, there are hundreds of bargains to be found when shopping. Although almost every corner of the island has a shop worth exploring, in Chaweng, Lamai and Nathon, the major shopping places are. The most variety is given by Chaweng and Lamai has a fun selection of funky little shops, but typically Nathon has the cheapest offers. 
From watches to trainers to souvenirs, Thailand is renowned for its questionable versions of almost all, and Koh Samui shopping is no different. Generally, those goods may be found in smaller local markets. Most retail stores do sell authentic goods and have set rates, but about anywhere else you can negotiate. Only keep things nice and respectful to obtain a price that everybody is pleased with.
