About Samui69

Samui69 is an independent travel guide to Koh Samui, Thailand. We are not a booking site and we do not sell tours. Our goal is simple: the most accurate, practical page on the internet for every beach, waterfall, temple and hiking trail on the island.

How we research

• On the ground. Places are visited in person; opening hours, entry fees, parking and road conditions are checked on site.
• Cross-referenced. Every article is compared against at least three independent sources before publishing.
• Concrete numbers. Distances in km, prices in Thai baht (with a USD estimate), durations in minutes.
• Kept current. Articles carry their last update date. Seasonal caveats (monsoon, dry-season waterfalls, temple ceremonies) are reviewed every year.

Photos

Many photographs come from the Pexels community and are credited to their photographers in each image's attribution file. Where a photo shows a general Thai scene rather than the exact spot, the caption says so.
