Koh Samui, Thailand's second-largest island, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern amenities. The island is known for its palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush mountainous rainforest. Visitors can explore the iconic 12-metre tall Big Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yai or visit the stunning Na Muang waterfalls. Chaweng Beach attracts tourists with its vibrant nightlife and shopping, while Lamai Beach offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Every April, the island celebrates Songkran (Thai New Year) with water fights and traditional ceremonies, and in October, hosts the colourful Loy Krathong festival. Koh Samui is mainly accessible by ferry from the mainland port of Donsak. Once on the island, travellers can easily take boats to nearby destinations like Koh Phangan, famous for its Full Moon Parties, or Koh Tao, known for its excellent diving spots. The island serves as a great base for exploring Thailand's beautiful Gulf islands.
