Samui

Koh Samui is the third largest Island in Thailand and the largest in an archipelago of more than 80 islands that includes the Ang Thong National Marine Park, a kayaking paradise and day trip from Koh Samui. While Samui is small enough to be circumnavigated in just a couple of hours by motorbike or car, the island features such a variety of beaches and activities that it would be impossible to experience everything in a single visit. There are so many beautiful beaches here like Chaweng, Lamai, Taling Ngam, and Natien. Besides plentiful nature, the island is also full of History and Culture.

Activities around Koh Samui include cooking courses, yoga instruction, Muay Thai training, scuba diving, and even golf. While there are a few quieter beaches that are ideal for relaxation, particularly those that feature some of the finest 5-star resorts in the world, and some that exude old-world charm, such as Bo Phut, which features converted, old Chinese shophouses, Samui is a lively, exciting place than it was a few decades ago. Koh Samui has developed into its own style of island paradise, retaining much of its natural beauty while offering nearly every imaginable activity or service for the ultimate beach holiday.

Koh Phangan is a large island off the east coast of Surat Thani province in the Gulf of Thailand. Koh Pha-Ngan is located about 100 km offshore and about 15 km north of Koh Samui. Most well-known for its monthly Full Moon Party, Koh Pha-Ngan features some of the most spectacular Beaches in Thailand, most of which are still only moderately developed, providing visitors with easy access to either a wild beach party or a relaxing and quiet beach holiday.

Apart from the beautiful beach and deep blue sea water, Koh Pha-Ngan offers tourists natural attractions i.e. waterfalls, mountains, local coconut farms and fishery at Chokechalam village. Wonderful scenery is waiting for you since you are on board on the Island. Ko Pha-Ngan is not far away from Koh Samui where is one of Thailand’s leading tourist attraction. In addition, taking a ferry to Tao island to sightsee coral reef and aquatic animals is convenient.

There are several tourist attractions on Koh Pha-Ngan i.e. forests, waterfalls, beaches, sea, temples, cultural and adventurous ones like Tan Sadet National waterfall, Rin Nok Beach, Tong Nai Pan Yai Beach, Tong Nai Pan Noi Beach, and etc.
