Island Activities
Football Golf – one of our personal favourites and a different take on the popular game Football golf is guaranteed to amuse footballers, non footballers, golfers and non golfers from all over the world. Excellent fun and run by friendly Tom from Liverpool in the UK, this is one activity that you will not want to miss while you are on the island.
Santi Buri – For Golf pros and enthusiasts this stunning course takes you to the dizzy heights of the mountains that not only offers you stunning views of both this and the surrounding islands but world class golfing on an exciting and challenging course. 
Bungee Jump – when you are looking for a bit of adrenalin this jump takes you 50 meters high above a 5 meters deep plunge pool and your experience can be recorded on video. If you are still not suitably shaken then try the rocket man experience, you can always come back here for a stiff drink to calm your nerves afterwards!
Canopy Adventures Thailand – See the jungles of Samui from a slightly different angle, swinging along a cable above the canopy. This fun adventure is completely safe, there is no experience required and the highly trained guides will ensure you have an excellent experience as glide peacefully between 6 platforms taking in the spectacular view. Enjoy the refreshing waterfalls before and after your experience to complete this unique and thrilling adventure, then head back to your friendly hosts at the Full Moon Bungalows for some sunset cocktails or beers right on the beach 
Go karts – suitable for both the experienced and beginners this fun activity is available from 9am to 9pm and is guaranteed to thrill and excite. Instruction and helmets are provided; all you have to do is jump in and have fun.
Monkey Theatre – In the western world it may be true that dogs are a mans best friends but in coconut farm laden Samui it’s the monkey. Once the main industry on Koh Samui coconut farms still operate here and gathering these tropical fruits is made a lot easier by Samuis industrious monkeys. Enjoy demonstrations of how the monkeys are trained and how they work at Samuis own Monkey Theatre and training school
Horse Riding – explore Koh Samui from another angle, on horseback. European standard horses that are calm and well trained, provide a unique way to enjoy both the rain forest and the beaches. All equipment is provided and the ranch caters for both experienced and inexperienced riders
Shooting Range – When you want to let of a bit of steam on vacation then a trip to the shooting range is one way to release some of that pent up western frustration. Reasonably priced the shooting range provides fully trained instructors, a wide range of guns to choose from and live ammunition
WMC Muay Thai Camp – Thailand’s national sport is as popular to learn these days as it is to watch. WMC Koh Samui offers a training camp in Lamai that has everything you need for an introduction to this sport and a truly unforgettable experience and a perfectly good excuse to kick the daylights out of annoying holiday companions!
Samui Judo – if Muay Thai is not your thing then why not have a bash at Karate. Geoff pickup has been practicing this martial art for 14 years and been teaching full time for the last three. One hour self defense classes are available and are a great introduction to Goju Ryu
Sitca – if you are looking for a slightly less aggressive activity then perhaps learning the art of oriental cooking is more up your street. Several cookery schools on the island offer a unique insight into this delicious cuisine as well as the opportunity to share what you have learned with your fiends who are welcome to come along and indulge in the gastronomic delights you have concocted after the course, we can provide buckets for vomity nights in your rooms if you can’t get the hang of it!
ATV- if cooking is a little mundane and you don’t feel like walking or mountain biking then why not explore Koh Samui’s wild and wonderful interior on an ATV. Great fun and with some stunning views to be admired this is a great way to spend an afternoon when you just can’t face another day on the beach.
Temples – Koh Samui is home to lots and lots of temples and each one has something different to offer. The Big Buddha temple as not only a stunning temple where you can be blessed but a bustling little market full of ancient and non ancient Thai artifacts, but some wonderful cafes and an in house fortune teller! The well preserved body of Loung Por Ruam, the mummified monk is to be found at The Kunaram temple. He has amazed locals and tourists alike for the last 30 years he has been in residence at the temple by mysteriously refusing to deteriorate from one year to the next. As well as visiting the temples during the day, be sure to visit in the evening when they are hosting a temple party. Almost like a western fairground the temple parties offer bargain stalls and the more than a bit interesting Thai Bingo!
