Koh Samui is the third-largest island in Thailand. It is a place where white-sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and rustling palm trees, nuzzle against a backdrop of lush, green hills and cloudless blue skies. This island paradise started out as a backpacker’s dream, but has become increasingly upscale over time.
On-shore, the island abounds with activities and unforgettable experiences. Try a gentle hike to one of the many shimmering waterfalls, or explore the Secret Buddha Garden, with its fascinating sculptures and views. There are also several temples on the island - Wat Khunaram Koh Samui even has the dubious attraction of a real, mummified monk.
There’s no shortage of shops and markets on Koh Samui, but you’ll need to be prepared to barter if you venture outside of established stores. Thai silk makes a wonderful souvenir, as do the hand carved wood crafts. Fisherman’s pants and hilariously worded t-shirts also belong to the many souvenir options.

Koh Samui has been said to be one of the safest places you could travel to in Thailand. However, although it is a fairly safe place to visit, you should still maintain vigilance and use common sense as you would in any other unfamiliar city or country.
From idyllic luxury resorts to rustic beach bungalows hidden between tropical jungle, Koh Samui abounds with island accommodation suited to every budget.
Getting around Koh Samui is best done on a rented scooter, or a bicycle if you’re feeling energetic. If you prefer more than two wheels, you can rent a car, or use the buses and songthaews that run at regular intervals in busy areas. There are a number of car hire dealerships located at the airport.
