Mary help of Christians Catholic Church
Catholic church
👍👍 Catholic Church. 10:30 English mass on Sunday. In terms of dress code. There is sign asking to take shoes off before entering. Shorts seem to be okay as long as it’s not short shorts. Shoulders should not be bare but if you forget then it’s okay they have scarf and sarong to wrap around for shoulder...

Car rental agency
😠 Not reliable company, you may StayWithoutCar/bike. In my situation it was a bike. I checked availability on their website (I did it about 7-10 days before my arrival on Samui), picked a bike and the dates I needed it and booked, after that they send an email with pending status and information that...

👍 We didn't find a number to call ahead to book, but we were the only ones there when we turned up. Haggled a bit to get the whole family in at a reasonable price - initially the lady didn't seem very happy but then more staff appeared and swung around like monkeys which made the kids laugh and everyo...

Peter Pan Wine Farm
Tourist attraction
🫤 Really odd experience. A strange, unwelcoming man and a very lovely woman, but it’s not cider (we’re from Somerset), it’s apple cider vinegar. Which does come with lots of health benefits! There’s no “farm” or vineyard, it’s a bar in the jungle; a bar that sells big mugs of apple cider vinegar, whic...

Khun Si View point
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Cool place. Free to park scooter with a nice view . 300m walk to the waterfall , unfortunately there wasn’t enough water so it was more a dryfall. The drive from the road to the view point was a little bit gravelly in parts but we was able to do it on a scooter. At the viewpoint you can buy some re...

Tourist attraction
👍👍 The approach is a bit difficult and automatic scooters are actually forbidden, but even with two of us we made it up on a small Honda scoopyi. The path is a bit adventurous but if you drive in nice serpentine lines you can manage it. You should always take a short break every now and then so that th...
