Slightly smaller than famous Phuket, Koh Samui offers the same tropical sunshine, pristine sand and clear seas with a relaxed island vibe. The coastline is studded with beaches, from busy hotspot Chaweng to the funky fisherman’s village of Bophut. You could easily spend your whole vacation sunbathing, but if you want to venture beyond the shore, a boat trip will bring you to Ang Thong National Marine Park. The 42 islands that make up the park are the perfect day trip for world-class snorkeling and exploration, and you’ll be back in time to catch the spectacular Koh Samui sunset.
