Samui Highlights
Thailand's premier island destination after Phuket, Samui boasts dozen of beautiful white sand Gulf beaches. Most visitors stay in the main resort of Chaweng but you haven’t really seen this island until you’ve explored quieter corners such as Bang Rak, Bophut and Laem Yai.
This is second largest island in Thailand and lies in the Gulf of Thailand just off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus. It's well known for numerous palm-fringed beaches, its coconut groves, and a very dense and mountainous rain forest. It has many luxury resorts and posh spas. It is famously known for the 12m-tall golden Big Buddha statue located at Wat Phra Yai Temple which is on a tiny island connected by a causeway
Bangrak Beach
Bang Rak Beach is most often commonly referred to as Big Buddha Beach, thanks to the above-mentioned, impossible-to-miss seated Buddha statue that overlooks Wat Phra Yai at the eastern extreme of the beach. The impressive golden landmark Big Buddha, has several clothing and souvenir shops, with the upper deck offering amazing views across the bay and over to the tiny island of Ko Som, which to date, is inhabited only by one fishing family. This enchanting and remote island can be reached by kayak or sailboat, and is great for exploring and to get a true deserted island feel.
Fisherman’s Village at Bophut
Ko SamuI is nicknamed ‘coconut island’, a reference to the many coconut plantations which were at one time, the biggest source of income for the islanders. Nowadays, the main industry is tourism. But long before the tourism and coconut plantations began to flourish, fishing was the lifeblood of the island. It is thought that migrant fishermen from southern China were one of the first settlers on Ko Samui. While historians may have their debate as to how many centuries ago the first inhabitants arrived it’s a well- known fact that the island was considered important enough to the Chinese, for them to include it on maps that they produced as early as the 17th century.
