Located 700km south of Bangkok, Koh Samui is located in an archipelago of over 80 islands and is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand.

Historically, Koh Samui was a sleepy paradise inhabited by fishermen and coconut harvesters who enjoyed the tropical rainforests and tranquility of the pale sands and crystalline waters which surround the island.  However, over the years, Koh Samui has combined its natural beauty with modern facilities to become a world-class travel destination offering something for everyone. Koh Samui’s beach resorts at Chaweng and Lamai provide outstanding restaurants serving delicious Thai and international cuisine as well as lively bars and nightclubs.
