Koh Samui is a tropical island in the Gulf of Thailand, part of Surat Thani province and reached from the mainland by air or ferry. It is a well-established island destination, known for its palm-fringed beaches, its coconut groves, and a range of resorts from simple bungalows to luxury properties.
What a visit offers
- Beaches: Much of the island's coastline is lined with palms, making it a natural base for lazing in the sun, swimming, and watching the sea change through the day.
- Resorts: Accommodation ranges from quiet, small-scale stays to high-end resorts, so visitors can match a trip to their budget and comfort.
- The Big Buddha: The island's best-known landmark is its large Buddha statue, a striking sight and a place many visitors come to see.
- Nightlife: Alongside its quieter spots, Koh Samui has a lively evening scene, with bars and places to eat and socialise after dark.
Planning your trip
Koh Samui suits travellers who want a relaxed beach holiday with easy access to both calm and lively evenings. Because the island is compact in places and spread out in others, it helps to think about where you will stay before you arrive, since distances between beaches and town areas can vary.
