The island paradise of Ko Samui offers a stunning holiday destination with white sandy beaches, coconut trees, coral reefs and crystal clear waters. Away from the beaches, there are picturesque lagoons and luscious waterfalls, making this destination highly popular with tourists and backpackers. Simply called “Samui” by the locals, it is the third largest island in Thailand and the place to go for a great night out is Chaweng – its beach road is 6-7km long with pubs, bars and clubs along its length.
