About Koh Samui

Koh Samui is the Gulf of Thailand's most popular island — a coconut-palm-fringed paradise balancing luxury resorts on Chaweng's white-sand crescent with the natural beauty of Ang Thong Marine Park. The island is well-connected (direct international flights) and has excellent infrastructure. Neighbouring Ko Pha-ngan offers the famous Full Moon Party and quieter beaches for those who look further.

Highlights

  • Chaweng Beach sunrise and beach clubs
  • Ang Thong Marine National Park boat trip
  • Big Buddha temple at Nathon
  • Namuang Waterfalls jungle hike
  • Koh Nang Yuan snorkelling day trip
  • Night market at Fisherman's Village
