Koh Samui

One of the most popular travel destinations in Thailand is Koh Samui, known as the land of the coconut trees for good reason, as they dominate the landscape against the background of lush green tropical vegetation, Koh Samui is an emerald island set into a turquoise sea. Koh Samui is 25 kilometres across at its widest point and is the third largest island of Thailand following Phuket and Koh Chang.

The main beaches of Koh Samui are Chaweng, Lamai, Maenam, Bophut and Big Buddha and are known worldwide. Thousands of European holiday makers travel to Koh Samui for their little peace of paradise. Koh Samui was first visited in numbers by backpackers on the Thailand travel trail, but development on the island moved the backpackers out and the holiday makers in, with hotels and resorts springing up on the island though not ruining it like many European destinations, and world class spa facilities, accommodation, restaurants and bars now have a firm hold on Koh Samui's holiday trade.

Koh Samui is an ideal holiday whether you want a relaxing time on the beach sipping cocktails or an active time trekking and trying out its many water sports. Of course if your idea of active is walking from one bar to the next and your only exercise is lifting a few beers then Koh Samui will not fail to disappoint with a great nightlife scene with promises live music bars, beer bars full of friendly Thai girls, and discos with international DJs. A Koh Samui holiday is one that suits all tastes.
