Always remember to dress appropriately at temple areas. They often have scarfs or gowns for a loan outside temples, but I do recommend bringing long trousers and a light top with sleeves with you. It is not appropriate to show much skin even outside temples, unfortunately, many tourists do not abide by this tradition.
The Buddha statute and all images of it are sacred to the Thai and should never be used as a decoration. Also, do not attempt to take funny pictures with the statutes and never touch them.
I enjoy sightseeing tours, I have even been on one in my own home town. I would recommend taking a tour around Koh Samui on one of these tours. There are plenty of options, unfortunately, I do not yet familiar with many of them. However, a word of a warning; there have been many accidents with unsafe tour companies that have lead to deaths. Be very careful when choosing the company to go with. They say that on average there are two deaths per day due to scooter accidents (the most common form of transportation). The Thai ride scooters without helmets. I wouldn't rent out a scooter unless I was a very experienced driver, also, always wear a helmet.
The JungleClub was absolutely beautiful and had great cocktails and service. It is quite an expensive place, I would like to stay there for my honeymoon, but I do recommend going there even if it is just for the view !
Our course is filled with lovely people from all over the world.
Some local calamari and a traditional Mai Thai
Got the best scenery seat with Lee. You could see most of the island from our table.
They had reserved this adorable table for us. We really wanted to stay there for the whole night.
When we came back we went for a dinner together. I and my New Yorker ordered this tasty filled pineapple. Yum.
