Located in the Eastern part of the Gulf of Thailand, 17 kilometres east of the mainland, Koh Samui ('Koh' means island in the Thai language) is a stunningly beautiful tropical island and the third largest of Thailand's islands after Koh Phuket and Koh Chang. It is the largest in an Archipelago of 48 islands, which includes the fabulous Angthong National Marine Park, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Samui is, at its longest and widest points, a mere 25 kilometres long and 21 wide. At 247 square kilometres it is large enough to give you the peace and space to explore without the constant tourist grind, but still small enough that it can be completely explored in one holiday.
