Koh Samui is Thailand's second largest island and has a small, open air airport of its own. Chaweng and Lamai are the liveliest beaches, while Bophut's Fisherman's Village and the north coast are quieter.

Take a boat trip to Ang Thong Marine Park, visit the Big Buddha temple, and hop across to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Samui's weather differs from the Andaman coast, with the most rain from October to December.
