Koh Samui
Palm-lined beaches, wellness retreats and waterfall hikes on the Gulf's favourite island.
Koh Samui balances resort comfort with island character. Chaweng and Lamai are the classic beach bases; Bophut's Fisherman's Village adds boutique charm; the south stays quiet. Tour the Ang Thong marine park by kayak, cool off at Na Muang waterfall, and eat at the Friday night market in Bophut. Samui's weather runs on its own calendar — the driest months are February to June.
