There are times in life when you absolutely want to do NOTHING and take a break from everything. May be, it is your body or soul that is craving some time off, and we truly understand that. It’s in the human nature. When things get too rushed up, they seek a small break to bring back the things and life on track. Koh Samui holidays serve as the best way to recharge your body and thoughts during such low-key times.
Koh Samui is a laidback gem in Thailand known for its verdant beaches and warm breezes that slow you down and let go of everything that’s disturbing your peace. Whether you are looking for a lazy beach day or simply want to relax your body, with no alarm clocks and stress, your Koh Samui holidays are surely going to be a major hit.
How to Plan a Perfect Lazy Day? A Complete Time Breakdown
Here is your complete guide to planning a lazy day when in Koh Samui, for wholesome experiences.
1. Wake Up without Any Reminder
This feels as good as it sounds. You don’t need to rush up anything. In the morning when you wake up, the very first thing you can do is to enjoy the slow chirping of the birds or the gentle sound of waves that pull you out of the sleep with a rhythmic sound. Also, if you are staying at a beachfront bungalow or a wellness resort, simply pull out the curtains to get lost in the beauty of the nature. It is even better to keep your phone on airplane mode as the world can wait for you. If you want a little more sleep, just stretch your body and do nothing for a while!
2. Embrace a Slow Morning
Take a beautiful slow start of the day by reaching out a nearby cafe for a light breakfast. You may find out many breakfast spots across the beaches and jungles cafes that serve you with fresh fruits, tropical drinks, and tea or coffee of your choice. Watch the waves and nature around, take in every bite slowly, think of everything positive that you can, and just listen to soft-sound of music or the people around. The best breakfast tip is to order any dish that features mango as it is the king of many dishes here.
3. It’s the Beach time Now!
Beaches are highly associated with one’s thoughts of spending a lazy time. The beaches in Thailand are already quite famous, for all good reasons. And when in Koh Samui, once you have had enough of sleep and a good light breakfast, it’s time to lay your towel at some quite corner of the beach for the real peaceful vibes. Many beaches are a major hit for this activity, such as Silver Beach and Lipa Noi. You can even take a refreshing dip inside the beach waters, and then dry off under the sun. What’s next? Just close your eyes to the beautiful sounds around, or you can also give a fine read to a good book. Don’t set any timers and take as much time as you want.
4. Stomach Calls for a Nutrition-Packed Lunch
It’s time for the stomach calls. If you are not in a mood for heavy meals, just grab a coconut shake or some light meal. Options include Pad Thai or fresh Papaya Salad. At the beach, you may find plenty of beachside cafes and food stalls offering wholesome meal that is light on stomach and perfect for a chilling lazy day. Even there are places where you can get homemade Thai food at reasonable prices.
5. Massage and Drink Time
Thailand is highly famous for its healing therapies and massage techniques and how can you miss that fun out on a lazy day! Choose your own vibe from cosy huts to mid and high-range spas. Once your massage is done, it’s time to relax a bit more by sipping your favourite afternoon drink.
6. Sunset Watching
There are many beautiful spots in Koh Samui where you can watch the golden-red skies, or the sight of the sun setting. Plus, you can sip your favourite drink or munch quick Thai snacks sitting from anywhere adjacent to the sun view. Top spots include The Jungle Club and the Nikki Beach.
7. Dinner Time
In case you are feeling all full with golden memories and an overall relaxing day, why not plan a fine dinner with your loved ones. There are many Thai dishes that you would not like missing out, including stir fried noodles, mango sticky rice, and grilled skewers. And if you are looking for more cosy vibes, then you can opt for a beachfront restaurant, watching the day slowly gearing towards a fine end.
8. End Your Day Slowly
It’s time to think of the wrap up. You have had your favourite meal in the dinner, and after a full dose of relaxation and calmness, you can all fresh inside out.
