Table of Contents
On our first wonderful holiday in Thailand a few seasons ago and after having enjoyed two full days in Bangkok, we then continued on to the 🏝 Island of Koh Samui.
After painstakingly deciding on what 🌴 tropical destination of the many to choose from in Thailand, we finally chose 🏝 Koh Samui, which is located in the Gulf of Thailand.
Why did we decide on this particular island you ask? ❓
There are a number of great reasons we decided on this island. Do check out my previous post and personal 📸 photos here on …

Choosing where to stay on this island is difficult, as there are so many beautiful distinct locations and all that offer great beaches and resorts to select from.
It really gets down to what your personal preferences are, and your budget as well. The beauty of Thailand itself, is the choices available for travelers are quite diverse. With accommodations ranging from a few dollars a night, to well over one thousand.
The same goes for eating. You can have a wonderful meal from the many food carts for as little as one dollar, to a beautiful full course dining experience served by the finest of executive chefs.
It really is up to you!
For us, after experiencing the magnitude of the 🌆 City of Bangkok, we all wanted to continue our journey and make our way to a tropical destination that was peaceful, relaxing and with lovely 🏖 beaches.
At the same time, we wanted to stay at a place that offered easy access to all the different sites on the Island.
Beautiful Choeng Mon Beach Sunset
As a result of extensive research and reading various traveler’s reviews, we decided on the Honey Cottages located on 🏖 Choeng Mon Beach. This is a much quieter beach setting, situated in a lovely calm bay.
It seemed a perfect fit for our wants, needs and for our travel budget. 🙂
The Island Of Koh Samui – Thailand
Briefly, this island is located in the Gulf of Thailand. The location pretty much parallels with the more familiar resort City of Phuket, which is located on the other side of the mainland.
Samui has a population of approximately 50,000 and is quite large, covering 88 square miles. Tourism has become extremely popular here, with the island experiencing a significant rise in tourists.
Koh Samui has one of the most beautiful privately owned small airports we have ever traveled to. There are numerous daily flights in and out to many surrounding destinations making access to the island very easy.

As a result, it is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand and for good reason.
Samui is simply beautiful, surrounded by up to 60 other Islands and a magnificent 🏞 National Marine Park.
A Family Owned Hotel On the Beach
Checking In at the Front Desk
This beachfront hotel is literally steps from Choeng Mon beach. This beach is a well protected, calm and with a sandy bottom, ideal for those families with small children. If you and your family are looking for a quiet and more laid back part of Koh Samui, then this is an ideal location.
You can travel easily to many other parts of the island via taxi and/or Songtaew (cheaper truck taxis).
There are many restaurants to choose from in Choeng Mon town center, including one located at our chosen hotel. Honey Cottages offers a standard sit down beach front restaurant as well as meals that can be ordered at poolside for your convenience.

Go Fishing With The Owner
Owners Fish Boat Anchored
One other special attraction this hotel has to offer, is that you are able to book a 🎣 fishing excursion with the owner of the resort.
He is an avid fisherman and will take you along on a daily fishing outing, where you can catch your 🐟 fish and have it prepared for you on your return.
There is a small fee involved which includes; drinks, your catch prepared and more!
A nice personal touch added to this resort.
It’s a great addition for those wishing to experience a few hours at sea fishing traditional Thai style, and later enjoying a fresh fish Thai meal.
We enjoyed our stay at this quaint beachfront resort, and when you compare this to what you would normally pay for a similar resort in many other parts of the world, the value for your dollar is amazing!
