Samui Hotels by Go-Thailand.com
|
This beautiful tropical island has been charming its
visitors ever since the first tourists arrived in 1971.
Those who experience Samui are rewarded with an idyllic
tropical retreat with little traffic, white-sand
beaches, a sapphire-blue sea, an abundance of
tantalising Thai cuisine and an unusually warm and
friendly people.
Koh Samui's natural attractions include the coral
beds at Laem Sed and Tong Takien, the Hin Lat and Na
Muang waterfalls and the phallic rock formations at the
southern end of Lamai bay.
And beyond the main island are many others well worth
exploring - Koh Phangan (world famous for its monthly
Full Moon Parties), Koh Tao (one of the best diving
locations in Thailand) and Ang Thong National Marine
Park (a compact archipelago of small and virtually
untouched islands which are best explored by sea kayak).
Samui's weather patterns are a little different from
the rest of Thailand. In April through September, when
most of the country has its monsoon, Samui stays fairly
dry, but from October to December, it's wet in Samui and
drier elsewhere. The driest season of all, though, is
January through March.
