Koh
Samui, Thailand's third largest island, is 496 km south of Bangkok
Part of the province of Surathani, it has developed in
recent years into one of the most sought after holiday
destinations in South East Asia. This is not surprising since it
has maintained its own charm despite construction and increasing
numbers of holiday makers.
Deserted
beaches and a glamorous nightlife co-exist next to each other same
as local glass noodle soup and lobster "Thermion". Even
though most activities are geared toward the younger audience,
nevertheless there are many options for couples and families. All
facilities are available for water sports
fanatics and sun seekers. Canoeing, sailing, diving, para-sailing
and much more...
There
are more than the well known beaches of Chaweng
, Lamai .Bophut and Maenam there are many other bays
accessible from the ring-road which stretches approximately 50 km
around the island. The interior of the island consists of
accessible tropical rain forest and offers the possibilities for
trekking tours, jeep safaris, elephant safaris or a refreshing
bath under one of the many waterfalls.
How
to getting there
The
major access to the island is still by sea, with a large car ferry
running continuously from Don Sak to the west coast and
passenger craft running between Surat Thani and Na Thon.
Buses carry passengers over the ferry, allowing uninterrupted
travel between Samui and Bangkok, or Samui
and Hat Yai.
