Koh Samui is a cosmopolitan hotspot, which attracts people from all walks of life. From the pulsating night scene around Chaweng Beach to the timeless charm of its fishing village at Bophut, the island offers a mélange of opportunities to relax to your heart’s content.
Best Time to Visit
Late December to April is considered the best time to visit Koh Samui when the island is bathed in the warm sunshine. Expect rains from October to November, during which you might get excellent rates in hotels.
Getting There
Koh Samui luckily has its own airport which makes it easier to get there. One can simply fly into Koh Samui International Airport from Bangkok.
Where to Stay
Koh Samui is located right next to Chaweng Beach around which many a Koh Samui luxury resort can be found. If you’re thinking of having an excellent time at Koh Samui’s exciting nightlife, it’d be convenient to take lodgings at nearby resorts such as Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort.
Attractions
From island hopping at Ang Thong National Marine Park to visiting the Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks, Koh Samui offers something more than its famous palm-fringed beaches to its visitors. The majestic Wat Plai Laem Temple is a colourful place that you must visit. Lie on the beach at Fisherman’s village at night to gaze at the flickering lights of the boats out at the sea.
