Sometimes a good workout is all you need to get your blood pumping. If you have a strict fitness routine or you just need to work some sweat with your favorite equipment, there are several gyms in Koh Samui that you can visit. They have a wide variety of fitness machines as well as weights for different kinds of fitness goals.
Bungee jumping
Scary, heart racing and a source of incredible pre and post jumping high, that is what this thing is. Bungee jumping involves jumping from a great height with a harness tied on one part of your body and allowing nothing but gravity to move you to the end zone.
One of the most exciting activities you can take part of on the island, bungee jumping isn’t for the sissy. This requires guts and the ability to swallow your fear as you jump and freefall. But this isn’t all just about the jump. Bungee jumping also allows you to see the amazing scenery all around you if you are brave enough to open your eyes as you are falling into nothingness. The experience is unlike any other. Samui Bungy jumps allows you to experience a different kind of high as your free fall into a plunge pool (so it does involve water in a way) with only a cord tied to your feet. The company has been doing this for about a decade and is known for keeping their clients safe and living up to their promise of fun and excitement.
Mountain Biking
Many tourists prefer to tour Koh samui with a mountain bike.
This activity has picked up over the past few years and probably the reason why it is so popular is that it combines sightseeing and a workout in one activity. Taking a tour of the island on a bike is relaxing and allows you to explore at an easy pace.
There are organized trips on the island ad you have the option to go a half day tour or a full day tour. You can also organize your own private tour among friends or go solo or as a couple. Biking is a relaxing thing and with Koh Samui’s tropical landscape, it is made more fun and fulfilling.
Badminton
A gamne that is suitable for all ages, badminton has many interesting benefits for the health. It keeps the heart healthy, improves bone and muscle mass and when done regularly, is an effective means to lose weight. You can play just for fun or make it challenging by turning it into a competition. In Koh Samui, you can play this in your rented villa or probably in a court of your chosen hotel or resort.
Tennis
Unlike other sports, tennis does not require a lot of people to play. You can play by twos or fours or you may also “play” solo against a backboard to practice your strokes. Koh Samui tennis Club has tennis training and coaching and offers their facilities for rent as well.
Bow and Arrow
Archery is a confidence-building sport that you can do while here. Whether you have innate archery skills or you are only wanting to do something you haven’t done before, this is an activity that is now gaining momentum, thanks to the series, Arrow. If you want to awaken your inner Robin Hood or say your sleeping Oliver Queen, enroll in an archery class on your holiday in the tropics. The beauty of thios sport is that you can do it on your own. It is a good outlet for stress release and is an exercise to work on your focus and concentration.
Fishing
For those who love to go on the sea for fishing there are a lot of possibilities.
Some want to go for fishing during the day, others during the night.
Just go at one of the ports as pex. Ban Thong Krut where you can rent a boat with captain who will take you out to the sea.
Golf
The Santiburi Samui Country Club was Koh Samui’s first golf course and provides both challenge and charm with a lush tropical setting. The 18-hole championship golf course came to fame when it hosted the 2006 Bangkok Airways Open. Located on a hillside on Koh Samui’s north shore and amidst old coconut gardens, the golf course has a commanding scenic panoramic view of the Gulf of Thailand and Koh Phangan Island.
A seconf golg course on the island is the Royal Samui Golf and Country Club (RSGCC) which was founded in 2006 by a small group of golf enthusiasts with the aim to offer an affordable but enjoyable golfing experience in a relaxed and scenic environment. Clinging to the mountainside above the pristine Chaweng and Lamai beaches, the Royal Samui 9-hole course can’t wait to grow up into the 18-holer that its designers meant it to be. Each hole offers panoramic views of adjacent and neighboring holes with many breathtaking elevation changes.
