Koh Samed

The first thing that you will notice about Koh Samed is its pristine white beach - sparkling and tranquil, a perfect babymoon getaway for you and your spouse. Koh Samed is not popular for a vibrant nightlife, nor is it famous for diving facilities. However it is much preferred by couples for its laid-back life and restive ambience. As a pregnant mom, you would not want to go to a holiday destination that bustles with high energy and excitement. You would rather go to a calm and peaceful destination that brings you comfort and pleasure during your time of hope and expectancy.

The island of Koh Samed is small in size, and is situated in the Rayong Province. It is very convenient to reach this island as it is easily accessible from Bangkok. Both Thais and western tourists favor this island for its calm atmosphere. If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful babymoon, Koh Samed is the perfect choice.

If you happen to visit Koh Samed from May to September, you may experience a little bit of rain; however Koh Samed experiences lesser amount of rainfall compared to other places in Thailand. Instead of being a dampener, the rain will add to the romance of your babymoon, turning everything around you fresher and greener.

Koh Samed is widely known for its rare and beautiful corals that add to the irresistible appeal of the island. Compared to the other island destinations of Thailand, Koh Samed is quieter and has not yet been bogged down by frenzied tourist activities. This might actually suit your requirements as a pregnant mom. A quiet and peaceful babymoon would do you and your spouse much good; you have all the time in the world to laze through the silky white sands and enjoy the lapping waters of the blue sea.

Time is not a concern in Koh Samed - everything is slow, easy and gentle. This is the perfect time for you to relax and enjoy a beach holiday as you nurture the little life inside you.

If Asian temples fascinate you, Koh Samed offers you a great opportunity to visit a few Buddhist temples around the beach. A visit to one of these Buddhist temples is worth the visit, especially to observe the entrancing Thai architecture.

When in Koh Samed, make sure that you don’t miss the breathtaking sunsets. Every evening you can go to different locations to catch a glimpse of the sun going down the sea.

A visit to Diamond Beach or Hat Sai Kaew is also recommended. This beach is one of the most spectacular beaches in Koh Samed. Hat Sai Kaew means “crystal sand beach” - an apt name for a beautiful beach. Pregnant moms will love to take a walk through these soft sands and wet their feet on the shore. You can choose to stay in a bungalow or a villa; make sure that you choose a room that comes with a wonderful view.

Ao Phrao is the most tranquil beach in Koh Samed. Couples out on a quiet babymoon will love this island for its serene ambience, lovely white sand and the blue sea.

Moms-to-be can go for a relaxing yoga session at the Sea Breeze Restaurant at Ao Pay Beach. Here you will find an experienced yoga teacher who will help you relax. However, moms-to-be are advised to first consult with their doctor if any mild form of yoga is safe for their condition. You could also go for special massages suited for pregnant moms, such as a relaxing foot massage.

There are several places that you can also visit for a good massage - Ao Prao Resort, Dhivarin Spa, Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa, and many others.
