The 9 Best Samui Extra Plus Hotels (Alternative Local State Quarantine)
What’s Samui Plus? The first phase of Koh Samui’s reopening to fully vaccinated international tourists from low- and medium-risk countries, without full hotel-room quarantine, beginning July 15, 2021. Join my email list to get updates on this and everything else Thailand/COVID .
Subscribe to updatesHow to book your Samui Extra Plus hotel? For your first week of Samui Plus, you’ll stay in either a Samui Extra Plus hotel (below) or a Samui Extra Plus villa. These must be booked directly and booking details are provided below. For your second week of Samui Plus, you can stay in a wider choice of hotels with SHA Plus+ certification. Booking SHA Plus+ hotels is possible through any ‘normal’ way you’d book a hotel – e.g. Booking.com, or a similar site. You must note in your reservation that it’s a “Samui Plus booking. You’ll then receive a “SHABA” booking confirmation, which you’ll need to get your Certificate of Entry (COE) – explained step-by-step here.

Last week, I offered you 45 best Phuket Sandbox (SHA Plus+) hotels. This week, we’re collectively wrapping our heads around the Samui Plus route to alternative quarantine in Thailand. Make sure you’re on my email list you’ll be sure to get updates as they’re announced.
For what it’s worth, I would WAY rather spend a week in any of these quarantine hotels than in a hotel room in Bangkok. As with the Bangkok ASQ hotels, you can find the hotels below listed in order of their Booking.com review rating.
