Koh Samui at a Glance

This sun loverâs paradise is covered with white sandy shores and stunning blue sea. Koh Samui has a lot to offer- sea beach, waterfalls, nightclubs and restaurants. You can laze on the beach or bathe in the warm ocean that surrounds it. Two of the most popular activities are snorkelling and diving and there are plenty of opportunities for both, among the coral reefs, off the coast of Samui. Much of the interior of the island is covered by rainforest interspersed with rubber plantations and a number of waterfalls, which provide a superb contrast to the coastal areas and are definitely worthy of exploration. Samui has become more popular amongst the tourists because of its nightlife.
