WHY CHOOSE FRENCH

Your Excursion, in Your Language

Finding a French-speaking guide in Koh Samui is not easy. Most tour operators offer excursions in English or Thai only. At Samui Authentic, French is not an afterthought — it's at the heart of everything we do. Our founder notre fondateur built this company specifically to serve French-speaking travellers.

Why does language matter on a boat excursion? Safety first: understanding the captain's instructions in choppy waters, knowing which areas are safe for snorkeling, what to do if you see a jellyfish. But beyond safety, language transforms the experience. Your guide shares the stories behind the islands, the legends of the fishermen, the hidden spots that don't appear in guidebooks.

Our French-Thai team bridges two cultures. notre fondateur lives between France and Thailand, nos capitaines and the captains know every reef and every cave. Together, they offer you the authentic Koh Samui experience — explained with the nuances, humor, and precision that only your native language can provide.

OUR TEAM

A French-Thai Team Since 2020

Samui Authentic team on the beach at Koh Tan
TAT Licensed · 41/00750

Samui Authentic was founded by notre fondateur, a Frenchman who fell in love with Koh Samui and decided to create the excursion experience he wished had existed when he first arrived. Tired of impersonal, overcrowded tours where no one spoke French, he built a team that combines Thai local expertise with French hospitality.

Today, our team includes 4 Thai employees — captains, drivers, and local guides who know every island, every reef, every hidden beach. Combined with notre fondateur's French-speaking guidance, you get the best of both worlds: local knowledge delivered in your language.

We operate under D JOUNS CO., LTD, a fully registered Thai company, with TAT license 41/00750. Our boats are inspected, insured, and equipped to international safety standards. With 171 five-star Google reviews, our track record speaks for itself.

"We were looking for a French-speaking guide and found Samui Authentic. What a discovery! Small group, incredible spots, and a guide who really knows the area. No comparison with the big tour buses."

"Being able to communicate in French made all the difference, especially with our 6-year-old. The team was patient, fun, and incredibly professional. We did two excursions — Koh Tan and the Safari — both were perfect."
