...I had just spent a week in Koh Pha-Ngan and I think it is because of that fact, that I’m not saying that Koh Samui is not worth going to. For me, Koh Samui was too crowded and lacked the simple island charm that Pha-Ngan possess. I’m sure there’s places in Samui that you can go to “get away from it all,” but why go through all the effort when you can simply take a short ferry ride and truly get away from it all in Pha-Ngan.

Don’t get me wrong, if you end up in Koh Samui, I’m sure you’ll have a good time. I just think you’ll end up having a better and more memorable time in Koh Pha-Ngan.
