Ko Samui อำเภอเกาะสมุย

The Gulf of Thailand's largest and most celebrated resort island, Ko Samui sits off the northeast coast of Thailand's Surat Thani Province. Long an isolated, rural island with a subsistence economy, it has soared in popularity since the 1990s, with its beaches of Chaweng, Lamai and Bo Phut now lined with countless hotels, restaurants, bungalows and souvenir shops.
