 Koh Samui

Koh Samui or Samui Island (in Thai language "Koh" means "Island") is in general considered as the second most beautiful tourism spot in Thailand. But those who want to enjoy the natural beauties with serene environment Koh Samui is simply the best place for them. Koh Samui has lovely clean beaches with magical blue-green colored water and an idyllic atmosphere. Over the years it has attracted many foreigners, especially from Europe. It's interesting that many foreign travellers who came to Koh Samui just for a vacation, couldn't avoid falling in love of its beauty and are now permenet residents.

Koh Samui is loacted 295 miles or 475 kms south of Bangkok. There are many ways to get to Koh Samui. The easiest but the costliest way is to fly. There are direct flights from Bangkok and Phuket to Koh Samui. Or you can take a comfortable train journey. For this you will have to go to Hualumphong Railway Station. Another way is to use an ecstatic 11-hour bus ride from Bangkok to Surat Thani. For this you will have to go to Southern Bus Station. From Hualumphong Bus number 7 goes to Southern Bus Station. At Surat Thani, you will have to take a ferry for a two-hour ride to the island.

A must see while in Koh Samui is Grandfather and Grandmother rocks.These rocks are not far from Lamai beach, are well known for their slight resemblance to certain features of both the male and female anatomy.

Ther are many activities like diving among reefs off neighboring islands. You can also take the daylong cruise from the Na Thon pier to the Ang Thong National Marine Park. The park is a series of beautiful tropical isles with interesting rock formations and coral reefs. Or rent a bicycle or motorcycle for touring (a paved road circles the island). Or even follow one of the hiking paths that lead inland to waterfalls.

There is a Full Moon Party once a month and also half moon parties now on the near by island of Koh Phangan. This is one of the biggest beach parties in Thailand and by now quite legendary. But beware use only lisenced boats and also don't buy drugs at the party as many tourists have found out quite often undercover police.
