Welcome to our tropical island! Twenty years ago, only a few intrepid backpackers visited the island. Today, Koh Samui is a cosmopolitan melting pot, attracting budget travellers staying for a month or two in simple beachside fan bungalows, to the mega rich, dropping in for a weekend at a luxury resort or villa in the hills.Koh Samui is unique among Thailand's islands in maintaining a broad appeal to everyone. This helps to give the distinctive relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart. Everyone is welcome. A wide range of accommodation, great nightlife, action sports, beautiful scenery. It's all here in Koh Samui.

Accommodations:  There are many attractive resorts here to serve you rest and relax such as:
Anantara Resort is luxury southern Thai style.  Amanda Resort is Balinese style hideaway. Aloha Resort is modern Thai style. Baan Chaweng Beach Resort and Spa is sea beach resort and spa and Lawana Resort is the peachful beach. You may find the resort from luxury to cheap rate price according to your preference.

Night Life: Chaweng deserves its reputation as the place to party on Samui. There is a huge range of venues to sample on a night out, everything from relaxed lounge bars to full-scale dance clubs.
In the warm-up to a night on the town, a stroll along the main beach road offers ample choice of European style pubs and bars where you can while away the after-beach hours, grab a bite and a drink, watch world sport or just let the world go by.

Attractions: Koh Samui is blessed with quite a few spectacular waterfalls; however there are only two that are easily accessed and having good facilities. They are Hin Lad and Namuang. The best time to see any of the falls on Koh Samui is during or just after the rainy season, approximately September to March. If not at these times, there may not be enough of a water flow to make the trip worthwhile.

Hin Lad
is approximately three kilometers from Nathon, due west off route 4172. The signposts are well marked. You will need to hike down a two kilometer trail, at times a little challenging, but the pool at the bottom of the falls is worth it. Make sure you have good footwear for this trail.

Namuang
is actually two different waterfalls, Namuang 1 and Namuang 2. Namuang 1 is 18 meters high and just off the main road, easily accessible by car. Here you will find a beautiful swimming hole at the base of the waterfall. Good footwear should be worn as it can get slippery on the rocks. As with any swimming area, please use extreme caution if you chose to dive.

 

The Big Buddha
This 12 meter gold statue of the Lord Buddha in a seated position is one of Koh Samui's most popular attractions. A peaceful place to come, relax and contemplate, this Koh Samui landmark is a must for visitors to Koh Samui.

The Big Buddha resides at Wat Phra Yai, which is located on Koh Fan. Koh Fan is joined to Koh Samui by a short causeway. There are many shops and restaurants around the Wat.

Secret Hall of Buddhas
Wat Sumret is a very old temple housing an ancient white marble Buddha believed to be hundreds of years old. Also inside is a valuable collection of Buddha images. A monk will unlock the door for you on request.
If you visit a temple, please dress appropriately and be sure to remove your shoes before entering. When sitting or kneeling, be careful not to point your foot directly at the Buddha or worshipers, and always take care to keep your feet tucked away when in the presence of monks. Also keep your head at a level below theirs
