Koh Samui ~ Thailand’s tropical and yet unspoiled paradise Koh Samui is Thailand’s third largest island. 30 years ago, it was still an unknown place with the first ever tourist arriving the island by boat. For the past 20 years, the island receives an overwhelmed attention from tourists coming to experience one of the world’s greatest hideaways. Koh Samui’s best well-known for its white sandy beach, great air quality, fresh ozone, tantalizing seafood freshly caught from the sea, and its friendly people.
Some of the most popular beaches on Koh Samui includes Chaweng beach – the island’s centre hotspot for shopping and night time entertainment with various choices of accommodation ranging from a small inexpensive chalet to five-star luxury hotels. Lamai beach is probably Koh Samui’s second most popular beach area, offering equal charm to Chaweng but less crowded. Other beaches include Bo Phut and Mae Nam beach in the north of Koh Samui where many upscale local residents and expats choose to live and are home to Koh Samui’s one and only golf course, Santiburi Golf Course. |
