Samui island, on the Gulf of Thailand side, is Thailand’s self-styled ‘boutique island’, also known for lovely beaches, superb hotels and a tropical island atmosphere. Nearby is the unspoilt paradise island of Koh Pha Ngan which has become famous in recent years for its monthly full moon parties that attract the free spirited crowd. Divers, on the other hand, head further north to Koh Tao which boasts the best diving infrastructure and most accessible reefs in these waters.
