Gulf of Thailand Travel Guide

Relax on one of Koh Samui’s most beautiful beaches, enjoy a massage in one of the many resorts and explore the surrounding picturesque fishing villages and temples.

Nothing says holiday like spending a lazy day at Chaweng Beach, a popular beach in Bophut. Visit the spas and top-notch restaurants in this family-friendly area.

Jutting out from the west coast of the island, this busy pier is the main entry and exit point for visitors to Koh Samui.

This beach is part of the more upmarket and exclusive northeastern coast of Koh Samui with secluded resorts with private beaches.

If you want to catch a glimpse of Koh Samui before tourism development, visit this wonderfully well-kept street of 19th-century Chinese shop-houses and French architecture.

Explore a more traditional way of life in one of Koh Samui’s oldest villages. Find Chinese teahouses, funky bars, and a distinctly Mediterranean feel.

Lie on or under the arched palm trees and rent kayaks to go out on the brilliant blue-green ocean water in this popular bay.
