where to stay in Koh Samui?

Hi there

I am travelling for 5 months round South East Asia and at the end of my travels - the last two weeks in August my friend is coming out to meet me and she wants us to book a hotel this week in Koh Samui which is what I am going to do.

Can anyone recommend a cheap hostel type place for me, my boyfriend and my friend? we are in our mid twenties and looking for somewhere cheap.

thanks!

Hi Amy,

There aren%26#39;t any hostels here as such, but there%26#39;s still cheap bungalow style accommodation. Try Matlang, Your Place or Al%26#39;s Bungalows to start. You%26#39;ll pay about 400 -500 Baht per night for a fan room with cold water (about $10-$15).

There are plenty of cheap rooms available too, they%26#39;re better found once you get here, get chatting to the locals in bars etc.. and they always know someone who has a very cheap place to stay. In August though pre book your first few days at least as it will be very busy here. Check out this website for more info;

Let me know if you have any more q%26#39;s.

Ah! Matlang! Happy memories! Used to stay there late eighties early nineties religiously, and whilst it is now quite cramped due to development, the position at the north end of Chaweng can%26#39;t be beaten and the place still has its original charm and original prices!

ah thats great thanks for the info I will look into it.

Am so excited about going now!
