CITY GUIDE
Koh Samui
Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s most complete island destinations, combining famous beaches, major resorts, nightlife, temples, waterfalls, markets, dining and easy access to the wider Gulf of Thailand. Chaweng is the island’s high-energy centre, Lamai offers a calmer but still lively beach base, Bophut & Fisherman’s Village lead for food and evening atmosphere, Maenam slows the pace, and Choeng Mon provides a compact upscale retreat. Beyond those five Thailand4U areas, island-wide sights and marine trips add enough variety for a long stay.
