Koh Samui, a perfect island experience, even for Jews traditionalists.

Koh Samui offers a great experience that combines attractions and relaxation for everyone. Whether you are with friends, family or couple traveling on the island, you can easily find the right entertainment for you, without sacrificing tradition.

Koh Samui is the second largest island in Thailand after Phuket. The island is located in southeast Thailand and has 63,000 residents, many of whom are involved in the island's highly developed tourism industry. There are several ways to get to the island from Bangkok or Phuket. You can get by train and shuttle, or bus and ferry but leave all of these. Pay a little more money and go on an hour's flight from Bangkok or Phuket and save yourself the hassle of traveling by public transport, forcing you to rub shoulders with the local population.

Koh Samui Beaches

When talking about Koh Samui, talk about beaches. There are beaches that are more suitable for attractions and action and there are beaches that are more suitable for quiet and tranquility. I'll give you some order so you can choose the beach that suits you best.

In addition, the water on the beach is quiet and low to a relatively large distance into the sea, so the beach is ideal for washing children.

Lamai Beach - This beach is a beach that began to develop first on the island, when tourists began arriving. It is the second largest beach after Chaweng Beach. Blamay has a wide variety of water sports for its variety and diving. The water in the area is deeper than Chaweng so the beach is less ideal for swimming children.

The place has local tropical vegetation and you can see and caress a wide variety of animals such as peacocks, reindeer, ponies, monkey goats, reptiles and many types of birds.

Lots of beaches, lots of attractions, I have not forgotten the tradition

In Koh Samui there is a Chabad House that offers a wide range of services for those who want to observe the tradition, and there is a synagogue where all the prayers can be recited at the times of prayer, Chabad House, so you will not have to go there on Shabbat.

Kosher food is also important and at the Chabad House you also have a pizzeria, a dairy restaurant and a meat restaurant, all kosher, all tasty and high quality at reasonable prices for every pocket. Shabbat, so that those who come after you can also enjoy Shabbat meals. There is also a ritual bath for women. In order to immerse in the mikvah, it is necessary to determine in advance.

Below the Chabad House there is the tourist center which is under Israeli ownership, and it is highly recommended to close all the tours through this center, even if they cost a few more shekels. Better than Jews.

In Koh Samui, as in Thailand, it is hot and there is plenty of moisture. Take light clothes from pleasant fabrics that will allow you to maintain modesty without over-brewing and sweating.
