How to travel on the island?

Koh Samui is at 25 km (16 mi) long and 21 km (13 mi) wide, Samui is big enough for serious exploration by the adventurous and fit, but can be circumnavigated in just a couple of hours by motorbike or car. Samui is home to some 50,000 full-time inhabitants, 90% of whom are Buddhist. At Villa BLUE SECRET, we want to ensure your stay is as comfortable and convenient as possible. Our goal is to make your travel experience seamless and enjoyable.

Transports

Songthaew

The Songthaew is a great little invention which is a cross between a taxi and bus service. They are red/maroon in colour and look like your everyday pick-up truck with a roof. The word Songthaew translates into ‘two rows’, as there are two rows of seating and they can hold up to around 8 people.  It is pronounced song-tow (but ‘ow’ as in you have hurt yourself). Price: 200 THB per person to the other side of the island and 50 THB for about 3-5 km.

Scooter

It's absolutely freedom,  driving on a scooter on the ring road of Koh Samui! We only rent with JP Rentals at Choeng Mon. However it is always helpful for both parties, making a little video around your vehicle before driving in the sunset. Don't be afraid all rental companies asking for one passport as a deposit. Jean-Luc and his wife are taking  good care of it.

Taxi

If you need a taxi we can recommand Mr. Noom. However Chris our Super Host will help you with the transport from and backwards to the airport.

Grab App

 Download the app already at home. When you arrive in Thailand your Grab app will detect your location and start to show you local merchants and services. Just note that they are not allowed driving to the airport area.

Car Rental

Rent a car to explore the island. A car as it is much more comfortable. You can rent a vehicle for one or more days. We organize the rental for you. The car will be delivered to the villa by the provider. The payment will be in cash at the handover. The return of the rented vehicle is at the villa.
