The beautiful coconut island of Samui is
located some 80 km off Thailand's east coast and is circled
by palm-fringed beaches. With an area of 247 sq km, Ko Samui
remains the third largest island of Thailand after Phuket
and Ko Chang off the eastern coast. It is the main island
amongst the Ang Thong group of 48 islands.
Samui was originally a backpacker's paradise with bungalows
on the beach for as little as 150 Baht a night. Today, Samui
boasts international resorts and cuisine from all over the
world. However, Samui has still managed to retain its charm
with many interesting and untouched places to explore.
Though there are many recreational activities
to be found here, including diving, elephant trekking, you
may wish to spend the day simply travelling around the island
on a scooter or jeep, visiting the densely populated coconut
plantations, quaint little villages, and taking in the wonderous
tropical flora. The south of the island is the most underdeveloped
area.
Climate
Generally speaking, between the months of
January and September, most days will be filled with sun,
except for the occasional downpour, which usually doesn't
last long. The frequent showers come in October, and last
until sometime in December. Samui can be visited at any time
of the year and even during the rainy season it usually rains
for a short time only and then the sun comes out again. Temperatures
vary from an average of 25 degress celsius from November to
March, and 35 degrees celsius from March to October.
