Getting married next September and looking into honeymoon destinations...various destinatations are in the mix and Thailand keeps popping back up!
Looking through there are so many hotels and I dont know where to start!
Can anyone reccomend anywhere/hotel in particular - we are in our late twentys, not too fussy, dont want to be right in middle of things but equally only 10mins away by car from some nightlife?
ps - any other honeymoon suggestions welcome!!

Honeymoon - Where to go in Thailand........Hi Spreadborough,
September is rain season in Thailand, so you might want to consider it...
Since your topic is in the Ko Samui forum, I will give you an hotel on Ko Samui Island that seems to be a good choice for couples on their honeymoon and it meets your criteria for being 10 minutes away from Chaweng Beach where all the nightlife happens.
So take a look at the Sala Samui

Honeymoon - Where to go in Thailand........Ko samui is a fantastic place for a honeymoon - we did it twice! We stayed at the imperial boathouse on chongmon beach which is only a 5 min taxi ride from the main area of Chaeweng. Chongmon is a quite beach on the North east area of the island and have loads of places to eat on the beach so its very romantic and all the sites are easily accesable.
Strongly agree staying around Choeng Mon is ideal for you, we have stayed at both Sala Samui and Tongsai Bay and both are terrific hotels.
Regards
Robert
Another suggestion:
Why not take a roundtrip to see the highlights of Sri Lanka, in combination with a relaxing beach holiday at the Maldives, which seems to be a perfect honeymoon destination?
We visited Sri Lanka a few years ago. It was great, but I regret that we didn`t go to the Maldives as well, when we were that close.
Hello,
If you%26#39;re on a honeymoon I would imagine you%26#39;re looking for a bit of romantic seclusion - chaweng is definitely not this! The beach and town get very busy. I would recommend going somewhere a bit different like Koh Lanta or Railay. They%26#39;ve got a completely different feel to them. Parts of Samui can feel like spain, especially Chaweng. There are some great hotels on Koh Lanta. Have a look at the Pimilai and Sri Lanta.
Ko Chang is also good, although is fairly quiet as its off the beaten track. You could even do a multi centre holiday as many people do. Spend a week on one island then head off somewhere else for the second week.
Phi Phi is always worth a visit although it does get very busy in peak season. Its also nice to put some money back into the island after the devastation caused by the tsunami.
I about the weather not be great the time you%26#39;re thinking of going. Early December is good for sunshine and rates are still in the mid range.
Hope this helps

But then again Koh Lanta is on the west side which is pretty wet in September-Check out Koh Tao!
The better places are having honeymoon packages. Everything is on a much smaller scale but there%26#39;s still enough nightlife and especially the average age on the island is younger than Samui.
For easy access to nightlife check out Koh Tao Cabana or Anankhira.
For a special treat charter a sailing yacht for a Champagne sunset or do some diving-Koh Tao has far clearer waters than Samui.
Hi,
September is low season in Samui, but I have been there a few times at that time of year and the weather was fantastic, however I also been there in October and the whole Island was flooded!
If you do decide on Samui then like a previous poster suggested you won%26#39;t go wrong with the Boat House in Chongmeon. IMO best area, beach etc in Samui and only 10mins by car/bike to Chaweng.
