Our Ultimate Koh Samui Travel Guide
Thailand holds a special place in the heart of Lotus and Luna—after all, it’s where all of our products are thoughtfully handcrafted by talented artisans. With every piece we create, we celebrate the beauty, culture, and spirit of this incredible country.
One of Thailand’s most breathtaking destinations is Koh Samui, a tropical paradise known for its crystal-clear waters, lush jungles, and laid-back island vibes. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both, Koh Samui offers an unforgettable escape. Join us as we dive into the best places to stay, eat, and explore on this dreamy island!

Seek Adventure & Culture
Big Buddha of Koh Samui
Perched on a small rocky island connected by a causeway, the Big Buddha stands an impressive 12 meters tall, gleaming in gold against the tropical sky. This revered landmark is not only a stunning sight but also a place of deep spiritual significance for locals and visitors alike. As you climb the steps to the statue, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, making it a perfect spot for peaceful reflection and incredible photos.
Na Muang Waterfall
Nestled within Koh Samui’s lush jungle, Na Muang Waterfall is a natural wonder that feels like a hidden paradise. The waterfall actually consists of two cascades—Na Muang 1, which forms a refreshing pool at its base, and Na Muang 2, a more secluded, higher-tiered fall that requires a short but rewarding hike. The cool, clear waters are perfect for a swim, and the surrounding jungle offers a serene escape from the island’s bustling beaches.
Silver Beach
Tucked between Lamai and Chaweng, Silver Beach is a postcard-perfect stretch of powdery white sand and turquoise waters. Unlike some of the island’s busier beaches, this secluded cove offers a tranquil escape where you can relax under swaying palm trees or snorkel among vibrant marine life. Whether you’re looking to lounge in the sun, enjoy a beachfront meal, or take a dip in the calm, crystal-clear sea, Silver Beach is a must-visit for those seeking Koh Samui’s most breathtaking coastal beauty.



Indulge in Thailand's Cuisine
Fisherman’s Village
For a perfect blend of oceanfront dining and lively island charm, Fisherman’s Village is a must-visit. This historic area, once home to a thriving fishing community, is now a vibrant hub of beachfront restaurants, trendy cafés, and bustling night markets. Whether you're craving fresh seafood, Thai delicacies, or international flavors, you'll find plenty of options with stunning sunset views. On Fridays, the village comes alive with its famous night market, where you can sample street food, shop for local crafts, and soak in the lively island atmosphere.
Cafe KOB
For a laid-back café experience with incredible coffee, breakfast and homemade treats, cafe KOB is the place. This charming spot, known for its welcoming atmosphere and beautifully presented drinks, is the perfect place to start your day or take a mid-day break. From rich, locally sourced coffee to fresh juices and light bites, everything here is made with care. There are multiple on the island, which makes cafe KOB a great place to stop in whether on the go or if you want to stay a while!
Sawasdee Cup
A true hidden gem, Sawasdee Cup is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious dinner with a breathtaking sunset view right on the beach. This cozy, beachfront restaurant offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The menu features a variety of flavorful Thai dishes, but we highly recommend trying the pineapple fried rice and the green curry —both packed with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. With the sound of gentle waves and a golden sky as your backdrop, dining at Sawasdee Cup is an unforgettable Koh Samui experience.



Relax & Restore

We were lucky enough to have a photoshoot here, capturing its breathtaking ocean views, serene atmosphere, and elegant design.

From its stylish beachfront villas to its inviting, laid-back ambiance, Cielo Resort offers an unforgettable escape where relaxation and sophistication go hand in hand.
