In reply to Sara. Samui is huge and full of tourists Sara. We only stayed a couple of nights, didn't like it, but you could no doubt find nicer, quieter parts if you looked more. We prefer Ko Phangan.

Hi, I’m really loving your blog. Your life is exactly one I would love to live with my son but unfortunately I don’t have savings or an opportunity to save for a life without a steady income. (I’d love some idea on how you actually manage this life financially if you wouldn’t mind!) and secondly my husband is conventional and even home schooling at home is way out of the question. Major bummer for me as I was a free spirited travelling lover before I got weighed down! But anyway, my question is about the differences with Samui and Samet, I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand particularly on Ko Samet. But also Bangkok, Ko Lanta, Phi Phi etc. I was thinking about revisiting the country but trying a new island and I did think of Samui as I’ve never been. What are the major differences between Ko Samet and Ko Samui? Ideally I want us all to have a lovely chilled relaxing beach holiday but with the option of some activities should we want them. Even love it’s one of my true loves, the island of Samet doesn’t offer enough in the way of activities that I think my husband and 2 year old son would want/need.

In reply to christy. Hi Christy, if you get two bottom berths they are wider and you could sleep with a kid each. We did it with a 2 and 6 year old. The 6 year old had her own top bunk but the 2 year old shared with me.

In reply to christy. I don't think so Christy, I've never seen one in Thailand. Not anyone can walk through, I think only people from that carriage. At that age I'd have them sharing a bottom bunk with me and my husband.
