Koh Samui is all about white beaches, coconut trees, amazing rocks, islands and islets, crazy full moon parties, waterfalls and, of course, eternal summer. An important difference between Samui and other resorts in Thailand is the absence of large waves on the sea all year round. And the rainy season on the island is not as pronounced as on the territory of everything. This is a "bounty" resort where you can endlessly enjoy magnificent views of unspoiled nature, blue sea and white sand.
Koh Samui is the second largest island after the island. Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand in the Pacific Ocean and covers an area of about 230 square kilometers. The distance to the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is about 700 kilometers. To get from Koh Samui to the nearest point on the mainland, you need to overcome about 40 kilometers along the waters of the Gulf of Thailand.

There is everything for vacationers, but it is still worth noting that the infrastructure of the island is not as well developed as, for example, on the island, in and on others. major resorts Thailand. If you choose Koh Samui tour, you are making the right choice. It is worth coming here both for couples in love in search of a romantic getaway, and for families with children.

The climate of Koh Samui compares favorably with the climate of other resorts. The rainy and hot seasons are less pronounced here.

Most rainfall occurs between October and December, but short showers during this time of year are unlikely to spoil your holiday. The average annual air temperature in Koh Samui is 30-31 ° С, water - 27-29 ° С.

The main feature of the island's hotels is the close location of buildings or bungalows to the sea. In addition to five star hotels offering luxury vacation, here you can even live in a small house without water and electricity.
The latter option is suitable for those who want to plunge into the atmosphere of nature untouched by civilization as much as possible.
Beaches
The clean beaches of Koh Samui are covered with white sand and surrounded by coconut trees... In total, there are more than 30 beaches along the perimeter of the island. During your vacation, you can visit several beaches to get to know the island better.
The most beautiful beaches located on the east coast, for example the famous Chaweng, the island's largest and busiest beach and the center of tourist life. Tourists with children will love Bangpo Beach. If you're looking for seclusion, head to the cliff-lined Talingngam Beach coastline.

Both adults and children can find something to do on Koh Samui. If you do not want to spend the whole vacation on the seashore, you can get acquainted with a large number of interesting sights of the island. It will be comfortable for both elderly tourists and young people. For example, young people flock to the neighboring island of Phangan, where huge discos are held under open air: Full Moon Party.

If you want to get a complete picture of Thai food, we advise you to try some of the local dishes prepared on a makashnitsa (scooter equipped for cooking).
Transport
Songthaew is considered public transport on the island. Songteo is a brightly colored truck equipped to carry passengers. But it is worth noting that during the day songteos usually follow a certain set route, while in the evening or at night they operate exclusively as a private taxi. Day and night travel prices are certainly very different. To avoid misunderstandings, be sure to check the cost with the driver before the start of your trip, and not at the place of arrival.
The rest of the transport options to the island will invariably consist of ferry crossing... The closest city on the mainland is Donsak, from the pier where ferries and boats depart daily to Koh Samui. The ferry will take you to the bounty island in an hour and a half. You can get to Donsak by bus from Bangkok.
Another option of how to get from the capital of Thailand to Donsak is to take a train to Surat Thani, and from there take a regular bus to Donsak.
Souvenirs
On Koh Samui, you can buy natural pearls, which will be a great gift for you or your loved ones. Another gift option is natural coconut oil, which is produced on the island.
In fact only made famous 10 years ago, Koh Samui rivals Phuket as the most popular seaside resort Thailand. On the other hand, this perfect island differs from its counterparts quite clearly, maintaining the natural simplicity of a tropical secluded place.
Located in the Gulf of Thailand on the opposite side of Phuket southern peninsula Samui is characterized by quiet beaches of powder-fine sand, deserted little coves, calming waters and hinterlands of coconut plantations and rice fields. Here is a place where you can throw off the burden of problems and relax in the sun without any worries.
Despite easy access and several daily flights from Bangkok and Phuket and a ferry service from Surat Thani, Koh Samui remains a far cry from everything, an island completely in itself, as it has been for centuries.
