What Guests Really Pay for Food & Drink in Koh Samui
A hotel's room rate tells you almost nothing about what a week there costs. Restaurant prices, minibar policy, what's actually included in a half-board plan, what a bottle of water costs on the beach — none of it appears on a booking page, and star ratings don't capture it. Guests, on the other hand, write about it constantly, usually after checkout and usually in detail.
