BEST TIME TO VISIT KOH SAMUI

Koh Samui (Ko Samui) or commonly known as Samui Island with total area of approximately 228.7 km², is Thailand’s second largest island after Phuket. It is located in the Gulf of Thailand about 770 km South of Bangkok and about 340 km from Phuket. With yearly about 2.7 to 3 million tourists, Koh Samui is probably the 2nd most popular island (After Phuket) to visit in Thailand because it has wonderful nature, white beaches, clear seas, waterfalls, spectacular viewpoints, beautiful temples, and many activities for tourists to enjoy. The island has an airport and a vast array of accommodation options, which makes it a great place for travelling.

There were not even any roads on the island until the early 1970’s. However, once foreign visitors discovered this island gem, lush with tropical forest, fringed with palm tree lined stretches of golden sand, and surrounded by pellucid, aquamarine water, development quickly followed. Today the beaches of Chaweng and Lamai are bustling beach towns with fabulous beach resorts, internationally acclaimed restaurants, and world-class nightclubs.
