What your week looks like
Your own pool villa, your own boat to Ang Thong, and an evening at the island's beach clubs. One person plans it all.
Most all-inclusive Koh Samui holidays are a hotel, a flight and a buffet. Ours is the whole trip: the villa, the boat day, the cars at every pickup and your table at the beach club, built around your dates. What could your week look like? Ask Tanner.
When to go
February to April is the driest, with a calm sea, and it stays good through August. October to December is the wet season, and November is the wettest month.
Samui's rain comes later than Phuket's, so when the Andaman side is rough in September, Samui is the better island.

Five days, done right
Four to five days is the sweet spot: a pool party, a boat day, a beach club, an evening in Chaweng, and one slow morning.
Stay a week for a second boat day, or the Full Moon on Koh Phangan if your dates line up. Tanner fits it in.
Day 1
- Plan:
- The van from Samui airport to the villa, the pool and a barbecue
Day 2
- Plan:
- Your own catamaran to Ang Thong Marine Park (closed 1 Nov to 15 Dec 2026, so Koh Tan and Pig Island then), swimming and lunch on board
Day 3
- Plan:
- A daybed at a beach club, then Chaweng in the evening
Day 4
- Plan:
- A slow villa day, a massage, a chef's dinner by the pool
Day 5
- Plan:
- A late breakfast and the car to the airport

What the week costs
Each piece has its own price, VAT inside, for the whole group unless it says each.
- The villa: from ฿18,500 a day for the whole villa.
- Your own catamaran: up to 12, quoted to your plan, with the DJ and the bar on top.
- A motor yacht: for up to 15. Tanner prices it for your date.
- The party: a DJ at ฿8,000 a day and an open bar at ฿1,500 a person.
- The cars: a luxury van for up to 4 from ฿6,500 for 10 hours, or a party van for up to 10.
- Extras: a photographer at ฿10,000 a day, close protection at ฿9,000 for an 8-hour shift.
Flights, park fees, the spa, beach-club spend and tips sit outside.
Hold your dates. The week comes back as one plan, priced in full.
Where to stay
Chaweng Noi for the nightlife, or Bophut and Choeng Mon for the airport, Fisherman's Village and the boats to Koh Phangan.
Chaweng Noi puts you on the beach with Chaweng's clubs close by. Bophut and Choeng Mon are quieter, near the airport and the north-coast piers. Our villas are chosen for a party, with the music ending between midnight and 6am, depending on the villa.
See Koh Samui pool villas and where to stay in Koh Samui. Pick your side of the island, and Tanner shortlists the villas there.
The boat day
Ang Thong Marine Park is closed from 1 November to 15 December 2026, so in that window the boat goes to Koh Tan and Pig Island. The rest of the year: limestone islands, a viewpoint and calm water, on your own catamaran with lunch on board.
Ang Thong is 42 limestone islands about 30 km northwest of Samui, 45 to 60 minutes by speedboat. In 2026 the park is closed from 1 November to 15 December under the national parks department's seasonal notice, and the entry fee is paid per guest on the day. Insider tip: the Pha Chan Charat viewpoint is a 500 m trail with a 25 to 45 minute climb, so pack shoes, not flip-flops.
See Koh Samui yachts for the boats. Hold yours early: the dry months go first.

Where the island parties
Chaweng, with the clubs and late bars along Chaweng Beach Road. Lamai is quieter, with live music.
CLUB SEEN is the big beach club and No. 52 in DJ Mag's Top 100 Clubs 2026, open 11am to 11pm while works go on (CLUB SEEN's own site, Nov 2026). ARKbar is the beach party on Chaweng Beach, Chaweng has the clubs and late bars in one walk, and Fisherman's Village in Bophut is the place for dinner.
Ask Tanner for the best table in Chaweng.
The Full Moon from Samui
Koh Phangan is 20 to 30 minutes across the water by fast boat, and your own boat from Bophut or Choeng Mon takes the group across and back.
The 2026 dates left are 24 November and 24 December, with the New Year's Eve countdown on 31 December. Villas near the north-coast piers go first.
See the Full Moon Party guide and Koh Samui to Koh Phangan. Pick your Full Moon date, and Tanner holds a villa near the piers.
Getting there
Bangkok to Samui is about 1 hour 10 minutes by air, and our car meets the group at arrivals, close to Bophut and Choeng Mon. Plenty of groups pair the two: Bangkok's rooftops and clubs first, then the flight down, so the trip ends in a pool, not in traffic.
Travellers from 60 countries get 30 days visa-free from 15 September 2026, TAT News says, and everyone fills in the free TDAC arrival card online in the three days before landing.
See Bangkok to Koh Samui and Samui airport transfers, or Bangkok nightlife for the first half. Your car is at arrivals. Tanner has the timing.

Beyond the parties
A spa afternoon at the villa, a beach morning, or a half day at an elephant sanctuary with no riding.
Chaweng, Lamai and the quieter north coast are the beaches to know; see Koh Samui beaches and things to do in Koh Samui. Celebrating? See Koh Samui bachelor parties, and add a slow day to the week. Plan it with Tanner.

Questions
Before you book Samui
When is the best time to go to Koh Samui?
February to April, the driest months, with a calm sea for boat days. October to December is the wet season, and November is the wettest month, so most groups skip it.
How much does a Koh Samui holiday cost?
A party week for 12 with the villa, a boat day, the cars and the evenings starts from about ฿300,000 before flights. Tanner quotes your week as one price the same day.
Is Koh Samui really worth it?
For a group that wants a beach villa, a boat day and the Full Moon next door, yes. For the biggest clubs, Bangkok or Phuket is better, and many groups do both in one trip.
Which month should we avoid on Koh Samui?
November, the wettest month. In 2026, Ang Thong Marine Park is also closed from 1 November to 15 December under the national parks department's notice, so the boat day is off for most of it.
Where should we avoid on Koh Samui?
Skip a hotel right on Chaweng Beach Road if the group wants to sleep: the clubs and late bars there stay loud until close. Stay on Chaweng Noi or in Bophut instead.
How do you get to Koh Samui from Bangkok?
Fly. Bangkok Airways runs from Suvarnabhumi in about 1 hour 10 minutes, and our car meets the group at arrivals. Tanner lines up the flights and the van.
What currency is used on Koh Samui?
The Thai baht. Carry some cash for markets, songthaews and the park fee; the villa, the boat and the cars are paid with the plan.
Do you sell Koh Samui holiday packages?
No fixed packages. Tanner builds each trip around your group, your dates and your budget, then prices the whole week for your group.
How many days on Koh Samui is enough?
Four to five days for a group party trip: a pool day, a boat day, a beach club and an evening in Chaweng. Stay a week for a second boat day or a Full Moon date.
Do I need a visa for Koh Samui?
Travellers from 60 countries get 30 days visa-free from 15 September 2026. Everyone fills in the free TDAC arrival card online in the three days before landing.
Tanner's offer
The villa, the boat, the cars and the evenings, on one plan, the same day.
