History
This Island is located in the area of the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui is the most important and largest in the area. It was the first island of all that began to receive the first tourists in the 80s. Little by little the island developed and today it is no longer an ideal destination for backpackers. Nowadays Koh Samui tourism is more of a resort, especially for families and young people wanting to party.
Koh Samui is together with Phuket the 2 most important destinations in the country for this type of tourists who are looking for beaches but staying in quality resorts and who have little time to get to know more beaches and islands of Thailand. Thanks to its good development in infrastructures, it makes it the ideal destination to get to know the south of the country and have traveled before to other areas of Thailand.
Flora and fauna
It is a place rich in these two elements. As for fauna, we can see from elephants to free monkeys or pigs on the shores of the beaches. We can also visit nature reserves where we can see these animals more closely.
And if we talk about the flora, Thailand is a country where there is a lot of rainfall and humidity, so there are a large number of forests and nature, so nature is something that you can enjoy a lot there.
Weather
The best time to travel to Koh Samui It is from December to February, when the weather is the most pleasant of the whole year. These are the seasons and their climates that can help you get an idea of when is the best time to go.
- Cool season - The dry season runs from December to the end of February. Of course, the dry season coincides with the high season, so the price of the hotels will be higher than the rest of the year.
- Hot season - If you are a person very sensitive to heat, do not travel between March and September, as it will coincide with the hot season, where the minimum temperatures reach 30 degrees and the heat becomes really suffocating.
- Rainy season - The rainy season begins in September and lasts until November. Unlike in other cities, in Koh Samui the rains are present daily, there can even be thunderstorms in the late afternoon.
What to do and see
-VISIT THE BEACHES OF KOH SAMUI
It consists of a large number of beaches but they are not the prettiest since it is an area with many resorts. They are quiet beaches with a family atmosphere where you can spend there all day and if you need something to drink and eat there are beach bars with all kinds of food and drinks to supply the tourist's needs. And if you really want to relax, a massage is always good.
-VISIT THE TEMPLES AND BIG BUDDHA
We can find temples with some of the most famous Buddhas in Thailand. Another interesting destination is the visit near the Butterfly Garden and get to know the famous Footprint of the Buddha.
-TAKE AN EXCURSION TO ANG THONG NATURAL PARK
The excursion is usually done in one day and in it you visit the main islands of the park. Without a doubt, a visit to the Ang Thong Natural Park is one of the must-do things to do in Samui. You can live the experience of swimming in the middle of the sea observing the marine world.
