Holy shit I got memed so hard.
>Every travel guide describes koh samui as "rustic", "natural", and "romantic"
>Every picture online of Koh Samui shows it as some perfect paradise
>Get here and it's a bunch of abandoned empty store fronts, litter all over the beaches, drunk obnoxious russians, and weed shops on every corner
What island should I go to in the future? I want a laid back not-trashy feeling. A little bit of chill night life would be good, but preferably with less whores and night clubs everywhere
Thailand is a shithole. I don't recommend it. Even the hookers are overpriced and ugly.
Koh Lipe, Koh Khai Nok
thais are some of the worst subhumans on earth
fuck thailand
if you want a good island, i recommend kamchatka or hawaii
>kamchatka
>island
American education
>going to any of the recommended islands and expecting "rustic" and "natural"
If it's on the TOP 10 THAI PARADISE ISLANDS YOU NEED TO SEE CLICK HERE lists, it's going to be packed with tourists. You want Koh Nevermentioned for peace and quiet.
Also, you're not getting nightlife with it. Nighlitfe means tourists means crowds means trash. It's one or the other.
I was just in Thailand and stayed two weeks on an island that fits your criteria, honestly I thought it was paradise. But I'm not going to tell you the name because I don't want it to get ruined like every other Thai island that gets popular.
Obnoxious Russians are all over Asia now, they need to do their patriotic duty and go back to Russia and become drone fodder
Cry more
Ios
Leave Chaweng. Lami and Bo Phut are much less trashy, but still touristy
This. Samui is a big island, it sounds like you the stayed in the tourist ghetto and are complaining it's a tourist ghetto. If you really want a different island you can just take the ferry to Koh Pha Ngan or Koh Tao, but it's not like they aren't packed full of tourists too, just less developed.
you're not gonna find anywhere like that searching online better just travel along the coasts until you find a place than report it back here
You have to go to the eastern side of gulf of thailand, near cambodia. Koh Chang, Koh Mak, Koh Kut. Really nice islands. Not much nightlife though.
Just go to Indonesia, the sheer amount of islands there is staggering. You'll find the perfect place for you.
Faroe Islands
>go to a beach thats not on an island
>no degenerate party animals, just autistic europeans getting some sun
Islands are a meme
