Learn more about hotels in Ko Samui

Ko Samui is nestled in the Surat Thani Province off the eastern coast of Thailand. Boasting an area of 228.7 square kilometres, it's Thailand's second-largest island, surpassed only by Phuket. First inhabited about 15 centuries ago by fishermen hailing from the Malay Peninsula and South China, it boasts a captivating history and a unique culture.

The name 'Samui' is shrouded in mystery; derived either from the Malay word 'saboey', meaning 'safe haven', or from the local species of tree, 'mui' — both reflective of the serene and natural beauty of the island.

When to visit Ko Samui

When dreaming of a sun-kissed beach escape in Ko Samui, timing is essential. Look no further than February and March – the sunniest months with few rainy interruptions playing host to your perfect seaside sojourn. If you favour peace over the crowd, consider visiting in June, as it observes fewer families compared to July and August.

For a unique spin on your island holiday, consider travelling in November. It's the tail-end of the rainy season which means fewer tourists, and as a bonus, hotel rates drop significantly. Check out The Koh Samui Guide for engaging activities and handy, weather-tailored tips during your holiday.
