Best time to be there

November to March. April is often the hottest month of the year, and also the month of the celebratory 'Songkran' festivals. May to October is the rainy season, with short bursts of rainstorms refreshing the green paddy fields once more.

Koh Samui

Off the Eastern coast of Thailand, Koh Samui is Thailand's third largest Island. After a 1 hour 20 minute flight from Bangkok, you step into paradise with soft sand beaches and swaying palms.

The island was first settled because of its suitability for growing large amounts of coconuts that could be harvested and sent to Bangkok and around the world. Today Koh Samui, which is characterised by its beautiful, long white beaches, crystal clear waters and verdant hinterland, has developed into one of the most well known beach destinations in the world. This sleepy island has, however, retained much of its charm as an un-spoilt island hideaway.
