The island’s centre features an uninhabitable mountain, Khao Pom, which peaks at 635m, while a 51 km road encircles most of the island. Koh Samui’s old capital, Nathon, located on the northwest coast, is the island’s commercial hub and features a major port for fishing and transportation.
Consistently expanding with the development of hotels and restaurants, Koh Samui’s primary beaches such as Lamai Beach, Chaweng Beach, and Bophut (Fisherman’s Village), are now considered small towns of their own on trips to Thailand.
Surrounding Koh Samui is 60 smaller islands, all part of Ang Thong Marine National Park and feature ideal places for diving, snorkeling, as well as other water sports, made mostly accessible from Chewang Beach.

Surpassing Phuket, its white sandy beaches, crystal emerald waters, resorts, bungalows, private villas on the island, and various local attractions, all make this tropical destination on a Thai vacation a wonderful place for beach lovers looking for a tranquil place for relaxation for be experienced on Koh Samui tours.
