Koh Samui
80 kilometers out from the mainland of Southern Thailand
lies the beautiful tropical island of Koh Samui. Set amongst innumerable
smaller islands of the Angthong Archipelago and the Angthong Marine
National Park, Koh Samui is the largest and most populated of the
islands in this region.
Samui had a local population of some35,000 Thai people. The island
folk are kind-hearted, smiling, happy people who seem to have not
a worry in the world. Who would, living on such a paradise island?
Their lifestyle is idyllic to say the least.
Until the advent of tourism in the late 70's, fishing and coconut
farming were virtually the only sources of income on Koh Samui.
Both these industries remain today, with Samui exporting thousands
of tons of coconuts to the mainland each year. You still see the
coconut pickers, huskers and copra burners at work today, the sweet
smell of coconut woodhusk smoke permeating the air in places.
The most popular beaches on Samui are Chaweng, Lamai and Maenam.
Sporting accommodation from simple thatch roof bungalows to full
5-Star luxury, these places are none-the-less never overcrowded
or too busy. In addition to the popular beaches are another 23 individual
beaches, some much more removed and quieter. The choice is yours
alone.
Weather on Samui is generally very, very agreeable with a temperature
of around 25 degrees C. in the cool season (from November to February)
to highs of 35 degrees plus in the hot dry season (from March to
June). Although humid at times, the heat is never oppressive, cooled
Samui is by the gentle sea breezes from The Gulf of Thailand
