The third-largest Thai island, Koh Samui is part of an archipelago of more than 60 islands off Thailand’s east coast. Just a 45-minute flight from Bangkok, the island’s white sand, swaying coconut palms and calm waters help maintains its away-from-it-all charm.
Snorkel, dive, kayak, boat or just splash in the water—Koh Samui is the perfect location to experience the blue-green waters of the Gulf of Siam.
