Gorgeous Koh Samui

It was only about 40 years ago that the first group of hippie-backpackers navigating on a coconut boat reached the shore of Koh Samui. For years the island remained its authentic atmosphere and there were only some bungalows providing accommodation to the trickle of foreign visitors.

However, things rapidly changed when in the beginning of the 1990s, boats fully-loaded with tourists started to arrive, and since that time Koh Samet’s popularity as a travel destination only increased and today it is even Thailand’s second most favoured holiday island after Phuket.
Samet Island is blessed with unbeatable natural beauty, which includes: paradisiacal lagoons, dazzling underwater scenery, waving coconut trees, refreshing waterfalls and inviting sparkling blue waters. Koh Samui online tourist resource

Due to Samui having become one of the country’s most popular international holiday destinations Lamai and Chaweng are unfortunately as overcrowded likewise the most commercial beaches on the Spanish Costa-del-Sol. However, Koh Samet may be a great destination for those looking for relaxation and tranquility as this boutique island still offers some peaceful and laid-back beach areas.
