What is the best way to get around Koh Samui?
Join a guided tour
Don't want to figure out the semantics of getting from point A to point B? Explore Koh Samui with a guided day tour. You'll get picked up straight from your hotel and whisked away to some of the island's top sights. While it is the more expensive option, it's a hassle-free way to enjoy the island and experience a stress-free holiday.
Songthaews
Songthaews are one of the cheapest ways to get around Koh Samui. This traditional mode of transport is akin to pick-up truck, with a roof covering and two benches on the back. You'll need to flag one down to hop o- board, and prices start at 40-50 THB ($1.92 to $2.40 AUD). While songthaews are mostly used for short distance trips around town, you'll find drivers at Koh Samui Airport (USM) and the ferry terminal.
Motorbike taxis
While motorbike taxis are cheap to hire, it's not the safest option. Always make sure the driver gives you a helmet, and double-check your travel insurance policy before departing on flights to Koh Samui to ensure you are covered in case of an accident.
Rent a car
Having your own set of wheels is one of the most convenient and comfortable ways to explore Koh Samui. When booking your return flights to Koh Samui with Webjet, you have the option to add car hire at check-out. You can choose from a fleet of cars available at Koh Samui Airport (USM), or you can organise a vehicle in town once you're settled in from your flights.
Taxis
You'll find plenty of drivers waiting to meet arriving flights to Koh Samui and at various points around town. Before getting into your taxi, always make sure the driver turns on the meter. If he refuses, you should negotiate a fixed rate or flag down another driver.
