{:en}Koh Samui is the largest island in the Gulf of Thailand, followed by its two smaller “sisters”: Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Diving, snorkeling, swimming, and basking on the picturesque jungle-backed beaches are popular things to do here, as well as boat tours around the sublime seascape of Ang Thong National Marine Park.{/en}
{:en}Because Koh Samui is the only of the three “sisters” with an airport, most tourists arriving from Bangkok or abroad land here. Regular ferries run between all three islands, however, for example, the trip between Koh Samui and Koh Phangan takes only half an hour, making it easy to island hop and see all the sights.{/en}
{:en}In addition to all the staples of Thai culture, like magnificent Buddhist temples, vibrant nightlife, bustling street markets, flavorful cuisine, and smiling locals, Koh Samui is also packed to the brim with natural beauty.{/en}
{:en}From powerful waterfalls and white-sand beaches to the nearby national marine parks, nature and adventure enthusiasts will not be disappointed here.{/en}
