Koh Samui, a Paradise Island
Koh Samui, a piece of paradise for allKoh Samui is a stunning island in Thailand, with miles of white sand beaches fringed by palm trees. It caters for a range of holidaymakers from those looking for an unforgettable party, to those who want complete relaxation in an unspoilt paradise.
Flights leave from Heathrow Airport regularly to Koh Samui, so for travellers looking for a bustling nightlife Chaweng Beach is the island's best destination. It is full of lively nightclubs and bars offering rave music and exotic cocktails and also home to Green Mango, the most famous nightclub in Chaweng Beach. It is so famous it even has a local road named after it. Mint Bar and Sounds are also popular choices for a night out. Lamai Beach has a great range of nightclubs, but is not as overwhelmingly busy and loud as Chaweng.
Elsewhere on the island, holidaymakers in search of a quiet, relaxing break on breathtakingly beautiful beaches will have plenty of choice. Maenam Beach is particularly popular with young families as the wide shallow bay is perfect for uncertain swimmers. Choengmon Beach to the north is a particularly quiet and unspoilt spot, perfect for total relaxation. Travellers looking for shopping opportunities tend to head to Na Thon for its range of shops whilst tour agencies will also arrange diving expeditions from here for more active holidaymakers. Although it is a small island Koh Samui has huge amounts to offer in terms of both relaxation and excitement.
