Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand, which I will try to tell you about today.
Koh Samui, Thailand - the dignity of a local grandfather is before you
Dear readers, I am starting a long series of posts about the island of Koh Samui. From this article you can learn a little about the island, as well as its main advantages and disadvantages.
About Samui
Koh Samui- this is one of the most developed and favorable islands for life, after the island of Phuket. It is located in the Gulf of Thailand, which makes it a little safer than Phuket (in terms of Tsunami). Despite the fact that it is smaller than the island of Koh Chang, its infrastructure is much more developed, so living here is much easier and cheaper.
No matter how strange it may sound (after all, civilization has already reached here), the nature of the island is impressive. There are many waterfalls, beautiful beaches, wild jungles and other interesting places.

I got my first impression of the island from this view, look at the photo below.
I was pleasantly surprised, as I thought (due to false information from the Internet) that the beaches and sea here are no different from Pattaya. The joy was that everything turned out differently. I went ashore in a positive mood, not only because of the beautiful view, but also because of the weather, which I was also very lucky with.
What I really liked were the local people of the island. They turned out to be responsive and friendly, almost the same as the northern Thais. Although, usually, southern Thais are tougher, callous, apparently religion plays a role, but here, this is completely refuted (I compare it with Phuket and Krabi). Interestingly, I didn’t see a single mosque here, because there were a lot of temples and monks, which is not typical for the south.
Season on Koh Samui - when is the best time to go?
According to forecasts of analysts and experts, as well as experienced tourists and long-livers of Thailand, it is believed that the most favorable time to visit Koh Samui is:
- April
- August
- September
- October
I was here in October, the weather was acceptable, during almost 2 weeks of being here, it rained only 1, maximum 2 times, lasting no more than thirty minutes.
IMPORTANT! On Koh Samui, more often than in other places (according to rumors), people hook up "Dengue fever" And "Malaria", so don’t be lazy to buy mosquito repellent cream and use it.
I also want to note that your impression of the island depends entirely on weather conditions; if it’s hot all week and the sun is shining brightly, then the sea will be azure and beautiful. If it’s cloudy, then, unfortunately, you won’t see this beauty.
For comparison, look at the photos above, and now at these:

If you do not have the opportunity to print it, then on the island you will find many free maps, both Russian and English. They are usually found in hotels, SPA salons, cafes and restaurants.
Samui has snow-white beaches, coconut palms, amazing rocks, islands and islets, crazy full moon parties, waterfalls and, of course, eternal summer. An important difference between Samui and other resorts in Thailand is the absence of large waves on the sea all year round. And the rainy season on the island is not as pronounced as on the entire territory. This is a “bounty” resort where you can endlessly enjoy gorgeous views of pristine nature, blue sea and white sand.
Koh Samui is the second largest island after Koh Samui. Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand of the Pacific Ocean and covers an area of about 230 square kilometers. The distance to the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is about 700 kilometers. To get from Samui to the nearest point of the mainland, you need to cover about 40 kilometers through the waters of the Gulf of Thailand.
Tours to Koh Samui
Prices for tours for 2 people for 7 nights with departure from Moscow are given.
There is everything for vacationers here, but it is still worth noting that the infrastructure of the island is not as well developed as, for example, on the island, in and in other major resorts in Thailand. If you choose a tour to Koh Samui, you are making the right choice. Both couples in love looking for a romantic getaway and families with children should come here.
Weather
The climate of Koh Samui compares favorably with the climate of other resorts. The rainy season and the hot season are not so pronounced here. It is important to note that holidays on Samui will be comfortable not only in winter, but also in summer. There are no big waves and muddy seas on Koh Samui all year round. The greatest amount of precipitation falls from October to December, but short showers at this time of year are unlikely to ruin your holiday. The average annual air temperature on Samui is 30-31 °C, water temperature is 27-29 °C.
Hotels
The main feature of the island's hotels is the close location of the buildings or bungalows to the sea. In addition to five-star hotels offering luxurious holidays, you can even stay here in a small house without water or electricity.
The last option is suitable for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of nature untouched by civilization.
Beaches
The clean beaches of Koh Samui are covered with white sand and surrounded by coconut palms. In total, there are more than 30 beaches along the perimeter of the island. During your vacation, you can visit several beaches to get to know the island better.
The most beautiful beaches are located on the east coast, such as the famous Chaweng, the island's largest and busiest beach and the center of tourist life. Tourists with children will love Bangpo Beach. If you are looking for solitude, head to the deserted coastline of Talingngam Beach surrounded by rocks.
Interesting entertainment is available on the island's tourist beaches: kayaking, jet skiing, banana boat riding.
On the territory of little-visited beaches, any infrastructure may simply be absent. Only you, the clear sea and the gentle sun above your head!
Attractions
On Koh Samui there is something to do for both adults and children. If you don’t want to spend your entire vacation on the seashore, you can get acquainted with a large number of interesting sights of the island. Both older tourists and young people will feel comfortable here. For example, young people flock to the neighboring island of Koh Phangan, where huge open-air discos are held: “Full Moon Parties”.
Those who have retired go to cozy Maenam Beach, where you can admire stunning sunsets. From Koh Samui you can go to many islands, such as the “turtle” island of Koh Tao, for diving or snorkeling.
The very beautiful island of Madsum awaits its guests on snow-white beaches that embrace the virgin tropical jungle. In the heart of Samui hide stunningly beautiful waterfalls, butterfly parks, and snake farms. Tourists with children will not be disappointed by visiting a tiger and leopard show, or an aquarium with tropical fish.
Sightseeing lovers won't miss the famous Hin Ta and Hin Yai (Grandmother and Grandfather) rocks, Big Buddha and many beautiful stupas and temples.
Kitchen
Thai restaurants on the island are located literally at every step. Wherever you stay during your holiday, you will always find a cozy place where you can enjoy authentic Thai cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere. A large number of cafes, restaurants and bars are located on the coastline; here you can not only eat delicious food, but also admire the views of the Gulf of Thailand. In addition to restaurants offering Thai cuisine, lovers of European, Russian, Indian, and Chinese cuisine will always be able to find an establishment that interests them.
If you want to get the full experience of Thai cuisine, we recommend you try some local dishes cooked on a makashnitsa (scooter equipped for cooking).
Transport
The island's public transport system is Songthaew. The Songthaew is a brightly colored truck equipped to carry passengers. But it is worth noting that during the day, songthaews, as a rule, follow a certain established route, while in the evening or at night they work exclusively as an individual taxi. Prices for trips during the day and at night are certainly very different. To avoid misunderstandings, be sure to check the cost with the driver before the start of your trip, and not at the place of arrival.
The remaining transport options to the island will invariably consist of a ferry crossing. The nearest city on the mainland is Donsak, from whose pier ferries and boats depart daily to Koh Samui. In an hour and a half, the ferry will take you to the bounty island. You can get to Donsak by bus from Bangkok.
Another option for getting from the capital of Thailand to Donsak is to take a train to Surat Thani, and from there take a regular bus to Donsak.
Souvenirs
On Samui you can buy natural pearls, which will be an excellent gift for you or your loved ones. Another gift option is natural coconut oil, which is produced on the island.
Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand, it is the second largest island after and no less popular in terms of tourist attendance. I would like to emphasize that it does not matter for what purpose you want to travel to this island - to get acquainted with natural attractions (sand-white beaches, coconut palms, coral reefs, etc.) or to pursue sexual interests (for example, in area)... The important thing is that to travel through this area, you will need Koh Samui maps.
To find Koh Samui island on the map of Thailand, draw a line from the conditional line to the south. Where the coast of the Malacca Peninsula bends to the southeast, you will see several pieces of land - islands, Koh Samui and other small islands.
