Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand, and one of the most beautiful. The island is situated in the Gulf of Thailand approximately 700km south of Bangkok and approximately 80 km east of the South Thailand coast. The island has been incredibly popular with visitors to Thailand for many years, and many people rent villas, stay in resorts or simple bamboo huts during their holiday on Koh Samui.
As Koh Samui is a large island, there is something for everyone with commercial beaches, as well as more laid back and quiet beaches. There are also beaches that cater for the backpacker crowd. Koh Samui is the classic paradise island with palm fringed beaches and beautiful crystal clear blue waters.
The main and most commercial beach is known as Chaweng Beach. At seven kilometers long it is the longest beach on the island, with white powdery sand and clear blue waters.

The beach also has excellent nightlife on the main walking street just in from the beach.
