Koh Samui

Just one hours flight from Bangkok, off the east coast of Thailand lies this beautiful island. Many people say this charming private airport is one of the nicest in the world, and helps to put the tourists in a holiday mood as soon as they arrive. Most hotels are situated on Chaweng and Lamai beach. There are many shopping facilities here, and many restaurants. Bophut beach has become very trendy as it is quieter than other beaches. The local fishing village, which is easily accessible on foot from this beach and the hotels, has remained nearly unchanged. It is worthwhile going for an evening stroll here, to enjoy the sunset and to soak up the atmosphere, and then go for a meal in a romantic seaside restaurant. Livelier than some of the other Thai resorts, Koh Samui is an ideal island for active relaxation
