Ko Samui is one of the most popular islands in Thailand, it possesses the characteristic beauty and offers a wide variety of activities. Originally, Koh Samui was used to be the area of coconut plantations, but after being discovered by backpacked travellers, it is noted by them as a peaceful and magnificent paradise some time 20 years ago. Since then, Samui Island began to be a relaxation heaven for the travellers who are looking for spending their valuable holidays in this paradise island.

Koh Samui is strategically located in the Gulf of Thailand, approximately 84 kilometres east of Surat Thani mainland, or approximately 700 kilometres south of Bangkok which is called Coconut Island. It is one of the most famous and popular destinations in southern Thailand with an area of 247 square kilometres, where Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand after Phuket (the largest) and the second largest Koh Chang (of Trat Province). The topography of the island is formed of plains on both sides with a mountain range in the middle and 7 important streams.
