Cyan Spa
The really unique aspect of Cyan Spa is its beachfront location. Set in a traditional Thai-style building, the floor-to-ceiling windows at the back of it look out over the calm waters between Bophut Beach and Koh Phangan. There is an impressive choice of treatments available and, while prices are a little higher than the average (a traditional Thai massage is 450 baht for one hour), the skill of the staff and the quality of the facilities do justify it. The pedicures and manicures are said to be a little disappointing, but the massages are rated as among the best in the area.

Tattoo
There are many tattooists on Samui offering work of varying quality. Although most tend to offer reasonable standards of health and hygiene, its worthwhile making a thorough (sober) assessment of the studio before going under the needle.
Thailand's infamous monks tattoos, which supposedly give the recipient magical powers, are available occasionally at Big Buddha temple - though recent reports suggest that they are a number of health risks associated with this practice, so extreme caution should be exercised.
