With around 70,000 residents and situated in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui is a stunning location packed with beautiful beaches, temples, and jungle, as well as some seriously delicious food and plenty to keep you busy when you need a break from relaxing. In fact, you can find five of the best reasons to visit Koi Samui in the post below. 

Stunning nature 

Whether you are a holidaymaker or planning to quit your job to travel the world, KoH Samui is an excellent choice because it’s an island packed with beautiful natural features.  from the breathtaking Na Muang waterfall, which features pools where you can bathe, to the quiet beaches of Maenam and Lipa Noi, you are bound to be impressed. 

Of course, beach culture is a big part of Island life in Thailand, so be sure to find a sun bed and grab a chilled coconut drink to keep you hydrated while you relax. Then head for an excellent value Thai foot massage in huts overlooking the coast! 

Compelling Culture 

Koh Samui is also full of interesting cultural sites; it’s well worth your time to visit. One of the most popular of these is the Wat Phra Yai, or Temple of the Big Buddha, where you are greeted by a massive 12-meter-high golden statue of the Buddha. Although it’s worth noting that the temple is actually situated on Koh Fan, which is a tiny rocky island linked to Koh Samui by a causeway that grants access. 

Then there is the Wat Plai Leam temple complex, situated in the North East of The Island. There you will find calming ponds filled with fish that you can feed, as well as some quite stunning Buddha statues and walkways over the water. 

Amazing accommodation 

For such a relatively small island, Samui has such a wide range of different types of accommodation. For those wanting the highest possible quality, this type of luxury resort Koh Samui is ideal. The reason is that it includes beachfront and cliffside villas, private beach pools, and a spa. However, for those with a more limited budget, an option like a bungalow or guest house, which offers privacy at a reasonable rate. 

Delicious food

Thailand is known for its amazing and great-value food, and Koh Samui is no exception. In particular, the Fishermen’s Village (Bophut) is a must-visit location both for its famous night market and its excellent restaurants. The night market in particular is a great place to try some of the most delicious and inexpensive Samui delicacies such as Som Tum, a spicy green papaya salad that has the perfect combination of sweet, salty and sour, and mango sticky rice. A delicious dessert that is made from sticky coconut rice, fresh mango and drizzled with coconut. 

Then there are the fresh BBQ seafood skewers, and the Thai-style pancakes that can be filled with sweet toppings. Lastly, there are plenty of drink options to keep you hydrated in the heat, including freshly squeezed watermelon and smoothies.
