Koh Samui is Thailand’s self-styled Boutique Island, with its lovely beaches and laid back atmosphere. Koh Samui (occasionally spelled Ko Samui) is an island of natural beauty and charm, a place where you can have your holiday anyway you like it, kicked back and relaxed or active and fast paced.
Beautiful white sand beaches, clean, clear warm water; lush tropical gardens and gentle ocean breezes await you at this ideal holiday destination. If you love the beach, this is the place for you.
With it’s ‘coconut’ feel, it offers plenty of activities, including diving, sailing, day trips to marine parks, full moon partying on nearby Koh Pha Ngan, spas and of course satisfying HOTEL resorts, dining and nightlife.
The weather is almost always beautiful. Blue sky days and a nice ocean breeze are the norm. For the purists, late December to the end of March is the ideal tropical island weather experience. Some like it hot! If so, April to June is the time to really bake. Some like it wet! Try mid-October to early December.
It's just a short 80 minute flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui or you can also travel by bus or train.
