• Koh Samui: A Tropical Paradise

Koh Samui is a stunning island in the Gulf of Thailand, known for its limestone cliffs, lush forests, tall coconut palms, and beautiful sandy beaches. The island features hidden coves, fishing villages, and a variety of hotels, all surrounded by unspoiled mountain jungle.

Once a favorite spot for backpackers in the 1970s, Koh Samui has grown to offer excellent infrastructure for visitors. It’s easily accessible with direct flights from Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore, making it a perfect spot to relax after exploring Thailand.

  • Relaxing on Koh Samui’s Beaches

The island has vibrant beaches, and some quieter areas like Lipa Noi on the western shore, ideal for families. Here, the shallow waters and sandy floors are great for swimming, and it boasts some of the best sunsets on the island. You’ll find various hotels, many with attached spas offering treatments and yoga classes. Hotels also provide water sports equipment, including kayaks and jet skis.

  • Snorkeling and Diving

For the best snorkeling, visit the nearby Ang Thong National Marine Park, famous from the movie The Beach. This beautiful park consists of 42 islands featuring limestone cliffs, lush forests, and clear waters. While Koh Samui itself isn’t known for diving, nearby islands like Koh Tao have excellent underwater life, including vibrant coral reefs, turtles, and even whale sharks at certain times of the year.

  • When to Visit Koh Samui island, Thailand

Koh Samui avoids the worst of the monsoon season, with heavy rains mainly from October to mid-December. The best time to visit is from June to August, although this is also the busiest time. Enjoy the tropical charm of Koh Samui any time outside these months!
