Ko Samui

Holidaying in an island paradise, with white sandy beaches and calm blue waters flowing as far as the eye can see, makes for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Ko Samui is a little gem in the gulf of Thailand that has only recently gained popularity as one of the best island destinations in south East Asia. Surrounded by pristine waters, Ko Samui has managed to retain much of its natural beauty despite the multitude of hotels, villa resorts and restaurants that have sprouted up along the coastline.

Ko Samui is the third largest island in the gulf and due to its location; it has fairly short rainy seasons compared to surrounding land masses, meaning that you can enjoy longer periods of fun in the sun. The recent development on Ko Samui caters mainly for tourists, providing premium holiday accommodation, world renowned restaurants, rows of shops and Thai spas that make for a relaxing and revigorating holiday amidst the tropical beauty. With the coastline being the epicentre of life and activity in Ko Samui, the beach culture is evident in the cuisine and entertainment and you can expect the best of Thai hospitality and flavour in all your Ko Samui experiences.

Ko Samui offers a range of holiday accommodation for travellers whether you prefer a five star hotel or a luxurious private villa, set on the picturesque beaches or more inland overlooking the lush tropical valleys of the island. Travelling to and from Ko Samui is not dependent on private charters and sea ferries from mainland Thailand, with Samui International Airport catering for flights from Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Ko Samui is one of some eighty islands that make up the Ang Thong National Marine Park with breathtaking views of natural beauty and marine flora and fauna that are a snorkelling paradise. For travellers who prefer more land activities, there are a number of tourist sites, forest hikes and quaint fishing villages throughout Ko Samui.

Ko Samui has maintained much of its distinctively Thai identity combined with natural beauty that may be lacking in more commercially developed tourist spots. Typical of Thailand, Ko Samui has a number of beautiful tropical beaches with the distinctively Asian hospitality that makes this one of the most sought after holiday destinations.
