Koh Samui Travel
Just a short flight from Bangkok is the incredibly beautiful island of Koh Samui. The island is widely known for its coconut and fruit cultivation on the coasts, palm-dotted shoreline, huge virgin rainforest and endless attractions that keep tourists coming back from more, year after year. The 247 km long island is the third largest in Thailand, and is part of more than 80 islands that form the Ang Thong National Marine Park, a haven for those who just can’t live without a variety of water sport options. If you’re looking for a perfect family holiday, Koh Samui travel is ideal.
Koh Samui travel is best between July and October, when the dazzling natural beauty of sandy beaches, coral reefs and scenic waterfalls are in full force. Visit the Choeng Mon and Lamai beaches; tour the villages of Mae Nam, Bophut, Bang Rak and Choeng Mon which are well known for their peace and quiet. Koh Samui travel is far from complete without a visit to the Namtok Hin Lat and the Namtok Na Mueang waterfalls. If flora and fauna is of interest, see how a 76-year-old farmer converted island ground into a beautiful sculpture garden surrounded by thick forests and rocky hills. The ‘Secret Buddha Garden’, which can be seen privately or on an organized tour, offers some amazing views.
A visit to the Samui Aquarium and Tiger Zoo Ko Samui at the Ban Harn beach is sure to be fun for the whole family. Visit the snake farm, the Monkey Theatre at Bo Phut, the Samui Butterfly Garden and Insect Museum. As far as accommodations go, there is a wide selection, with options for any budget. Hotels, bungalows, apartments and villas are all available around the island.
An excellent choice is Baan Mika, known for its tranquility, international class facilities and services, ambience and family-oriented options. The impressive villa is positioned around a rectangular, blue-tiled swimming pool that runs almost the whole length of the property, ending in a large beachfront Jacuzzi. There are six large, well furnished and air conditioned bedrooms that can sleep up to 12 people, two beach Salas (Gazebos) with comfortable seating areas and built-in bar, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious living room with all the latest audio and visual necessities. For your next Koh Samui travel, why not go for the best the island has to offer?
