The island of Koh Samui

At just 25 km x 21km Koh Samui is proof that good things do indeed come in small packages. Famous for the warmth of its welcome, fantastic Thai cuisine complemented by fine dining experiences from all corners of the world and a wealth of activities in and on the water and in the jungles of the interior, Koh Samui is a great place to spend a vacation.

Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand off the Surat Thani coast, a short ferry crossing from Donsak. With clear waters coming from the South China Sea there are numerous coral reefs to explore, with some of the best to be found around nearby islands such as Koh Tao, or the marine park of Ang Thong that lies just a short boat-trip away.

On Water:

Being an island means that there is a great variety of water sports available all-round the island. Whether interested in sailing, wind-surfing, sea-kayaking, water skiing, parasailing, snorkelling or scuba diving, Koh Samui has something to offer. Day trips to neighbouring islands such as Koh Phangan, Koh Tao or the nearby Ang Thong Marine National Park offer further water-based excursions. For those wishing to remain near Banyan Villas the coral reefs of Bang Por can be accessed for snorkelling directly from the beach.

On Land:

Koh Samui’s interior is famous for its coconut plantations, being the major industry before tourism reached the island. Samui’s jungle caters for elephant trekking, zip-wiring through the forest canopy and there are many rivers, paths and waterfalls to explore.

More mechanised enjoyment can be had with All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and Go-karting. For those seeking more sedate pursuits there are numerous spas and the Santiburi International Golf-course and Spa is nearby.

Culturally around the island you will find many Buddhist Wats (temples) and shrines, but also elements of Brahman and Animist beliefs. The largest temple on the island is Wat Phra Yai (literally “Big Buddha Temple”), where the centre piece is a huge statue of a seated Buddha that dominates the skyline.

Shopping & Entertainment:

The main tourist centres on the island are Chaeweng and Lamai that both lie to the south of the airport where many restaurants, bars and nightlife can be found. The restaurants of Bophut Fisherman’s village on the north coast a mere 15 minutes away offer cuisine with flavours from around the world, although the local Thai cuisine, and especially seafood are to be recommended.
Nathon, the island’s west coast capital is more traditional but also offers shopping, entertainment and good local flavour from its Thai restaurants.
