A tropical getaway, Koh Samui is characterised by soft powdery beaches edged by traditional bungalow resorts. Since 1971 when just two tourists on a coconut boat stumbled upon this paradise, Koh Samui has rapidly become one of Thailand’s most popular holiday destinations, with an abundance of activities to be enjoyed by all. It has everything on offer from coastlines fringed with white sandy beaches, coconut trees and coral reefs to waterfalls, temples and elephant trekking further inland.
Sunsail’s base is in a prime location in Bo Phut Bay, just 10 minutes away from the airport. Bo Phut Beach, close to Samui’s most famous attraction, the Big Buddha, is considered one of the best on Koh Samui and offers a more peaceful alternative to its rivals. Chewang and Lamai Beach which are situated on the east and south of the island are where all the action is. These vibrant areas have something for everyone at every corner with an array of restaurants, spas, markets, temples, alluring beach front bars and more.
As well as Koh Samui’s better know neighbours Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, both with their own unique personalities, the Gulf of Thailand is an archipelago of nearly 80 islands, mostly deserted and waiting to be discovered on a Koh Samui yacht charter.
