Hi mate.great content.1 question.Be in samui in a few weeks.cant decide between amari,regent or la vida on chaweng.Any ugly construction around that area?thank you..
Like your videos. good info. helped me choose some hotels with my gf for next February. Wondering about the trucks you can just kind of hop on and off. We used those a lot in pattaya last year. very cheap. Are they common around Samui? Do they go from one beach to the next (fisherman village - chewang - lamai)? average cost?
The best way is private taxi. You can get one as soon as you land and grab your bags they have a stand there. The cheapest away is shared taxi you will see the same counter just ask for shared taxi . Very easy from airport . They scream out TAXI !! It’s the first place as soon as you walk out with your bags
How easy is it to rent bikes/scooters instead? How long does it take to go for instance from Chaweng to Fisherman’s village and how is it riding on the scooters at night? Is it dangerous or comfortable?!
@@anchalthapa2493 in a shirt answer it will take about 15-20 with scooter Chaweng to fisherman’s. Is it safe to drive at night?? Hmmmm got to drive slow careful and alway look in all directions non stop !

Is there grab on koh samui? It wasnt before and taxis were expensive. Like phuket where taxi maffia is in control. Hope samui has grab so its normal prices
@@planetpapas9329 thx. Thats good. And the prices like u showed arent that expensive so its. I always get around on motorbike but with family i prefer a more safer taxi to cruise around
We go often, as Chris says it really is a barter game. We often stay at Mercure (south end of Samui) and if we’re feeling lazy get a tuk tuk to the Ark Bar end which for a driver goes around the back of the lake and Central, regular price is 100 for 2 people. Saves a 25 min walk so don’t mind 🙂 From the same place to Fishermans, 150-200 per person depending on time of night, if it’s early in the day you’ll get a better deal
Nice one planet papas mate 🎉 great information 💯

Is there grab on koh samui?
It wasnt before and taxis were expensive. Like phuket where taxi maffia is in control. Hope samui has grab so its normal prices
@@DarkoFitCoach you can take grabs but not when you land. They are not allowed. Can use grab all over the island and take you TO the airport
@@planetpapas9329 thx. Thats good. And the prices like u showed arent that expensive so its. I always get around on motorbike but with family i prefer a more safer taxi to cruise around
@@DarkoFitCoach always safer when someone else drives in Thailand ! Lol
Ooff that is a bit more expensive than I thought and since there are three of us will be even more!
By memory there is a counter there that sells seats in share bus that drops you off at hotels in Chaweng and Lamai.

@@ianwallace16 that’s the shared piece I posted as well yes
@@toddyoung913 also alway bargain with them ! Never take that price . And I said if there are more then 4 bargain even more
@@donnawatson3228 that’s it !! You bargain your way around these are the prices they gave me face to face but even. I know you talk them down ! 🙏🏼👍🏻
Are you expected to tip as well ?
@@clapetsch no depends if you do or not. They accept tips but not the usa way .
How much does it cost to subscribe to planet papas ….. noooooothing

@@fusion7healing very close !
Grab or Bolt ?
@@richardnguyen3691 they have that choice but not allowed in the airport for pick up ! Anywhere else is good
They should lose their licence. They have no right to charge without metre.
@@mappyman8271 always ask for the meter !
no grab?
@@p.m.8316 they are not allowed at the airport for pick up only drop off and around Z
