Samui Oyster Farms

The island of Koh Samui is just one of many that belong to Thailand. It is home to a few amazing beaches (Lamai and Chaweng Beach being the two most popular), has an active night scene, and a plethora of cultural sights to visit. While visiting this island one should make sure to stop by the Samui Aquarium and Tiger Zoo Ko Samui, Wat Khunaram Ko Samui, Samui Butterful Garden/Insect Museum and the Secret Buddha Garden. Those who want to take a trip out of the island can try visiting Koh Pha Ngan, Khao Lok, Pattaya, or Surat Thani.

The most interesting thing to see in Surat Thani are the oyster farms. The Surat Thanii region is famous for producing oysters that are above average in size and one can find many small oyster farms in the area. These farms are usually found lining the estuaries of the Tha Thong River and the Kradae Canal. Oysters grow naturally in the brackish waters that are typically found in estuaries. It is possible for one to visit these farms and see how they operate. One can also hire a boat to watch the oysters being harvested.

Samui is undoubtedly one of the best vacation spots in Thailand and has excellent infrastructure due to its popularity. While the island has well-made roads, especially when compared to the other islands, the public transport system is not as well developed. Instead one has to mainly rely on taxis and songthaews (minivans that take many passengers)- one should always remember to negotiate a price before getting in. Another option of getting around is by renting a motorbike.

When it comes to lodgings, one has plenty of choices. Travellers who only want to experience the very best in luxury accommodation can try a hotel in Samui like the Anantara Lawana Resort & Spa Koh Samui. The Koh Samui resort is located on a pristine stretch of the Chaweng Beach and offers elegantly decorated rooms complete with all the best modern amenities. Finding good bars and restaurants will not be a difficulty in Samui. There are plenty of good places, especially in the touristy areas.
