Agree with BJ. Didn’t want to comment on Samui as the topic was on Vietnam. But yes, it’s a big premium to pay for just a similar coastline. Samui is good if the top priority for you is privacy and cost isn’t a concern.

Weather in August is supposedly better in Ko Samui than Phuket so this is the driver. Other than flights, prices don’t seem to be eye watering different. Plan is to rent a villa and chill.
