Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand, it is the second largest island after and no less popular in terms of tourist attendance. I would like to emphasize that it does not matter for what purpose you want to travel to this island - to get acquainted with natural attractions (sand-white beaches, coconut palms, coral reefs, etc.) or to pursue sexual interests (for example, in area)... The important thing is that to travel through this area, you will need Koh Samui maps.
To find Koh Samui island on the map of Thailand, draw a line from the conditional line to the south. Where the coast of the Malay Peninsula bends to the southeast, you will see several pieces of land - islands, Koh Samui and other small islands.

Samui Map
Samui is one of the youngest resorts in Thailand. A detailed map of Samui will make it easier for you to find suitable places to relax on the tropical island.
The Thai island of Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand in the Pacific Ocean. The map of Samui represents a piece of land framed by many small islands. About 60 islets make up the unique Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park.
The coastline of the island is a series of snow-white beaches and picturesque bays. The best beaches of Samui are located on the east coast. There are also luxury spa resorts here. There are few beaches on the northern, southern and western coasts, but all of them are extremely picturesque and, as a rule, deserted (especially the southern and western ones). In the northern part of Samui, a grandiose resort complex was built on the hills. Almost the entire central part of the island is occupied by impenetrable jungle.
Administratively, Koh Samui is part of the Surratani province. It is separated by a distance of 700 km from the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. Koh Samui is the third largest Thai island, after Phuket and Koh Chang.
A map of Samui with attractions is located in the places section, in the map tab.
Samui has snow-white beaches, coconut palms, amazing rocks, islands and islets, crazy full moon parties, waterfalls and, of course, eternal summer. An important difference between Samui and other resorts in Thailand is the absence of large waves on the sea all year round. And the rainy season on the island is not as pronounced as on the entire territory. This is a “bounty” resort where you can endlessly enjoy gorgeous views of pristine nature, blue sea and white sand.
Koh Samui is the second largest island after Koh Samui. Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand of the Pacific Ocean and covers an area of about 230 square kilometers. The distance to the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is about 700 kilometers. To get from Samui to the nearest point of the mainland, you need to cover about 40 kilometers through the waters of the Gulf of Thailand.
Tours to Koh Samui
Prices for tours for 2 people for 7 nights with departure from Moscow are given.
There is everything for vacationers here, but it is still worth noting that the infrastructure of the island is not as well developed as, for example, on the island, in and in other major resorts in Thailand. If you choose a tour to Koh Samui, you are making the right choice. Both couples in love looking for a romantic getaway and families with children should come here.
Weather
The climate of Koh Samui compares favorably with the climate of other resorts. The rainy season and the hot season are not so pronounced here. It is important to note that holidays on Samui will be comfortable not only in winter, but also in summer. There are no big waves and muddy seas on Koh Samui all year round. The greatest amount of precipitation falls from October to December, but short showers at this time of year are unlikely to ruin your holiday. The average annual air temperature on Samui is 30-31 °C, water temperature is 27-29 °C.
Hotels
The main feature of the island's hotels is the close location of the buildings or bungalows to the sea. In addition to five-star hotels offering luxurious holidays, you can even stay here in a small house without water or electricity.
The last option is suitable for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of nature untouched by civilization.
Beaches
The clean beaches of Koh Samui are covered with white sand and surrounded by coconut palms. In total, there are more than 30 beaches along the perimeter of the island. During your vacation, you can visit several beaches to get to know the island better.
The most beautiful beaches are located on the east coast, such as the famous Chaweng, the island's largest and busiest beach and the center of tourist life. Tourists with children will love Bangpo Beach. If you are looking for solitude, head to the deserted coastline of Talingngam Beach surrounded by rocks.
Interesting entertainment is available on the island's tourist beaches: kayaking, jet skiing, banana boat riding.
On the territory of little-visited beaches, any infrastructure may simply be absent. Only you, the clear sea and the gentle sun above your head!
Attractions
On Koh Samui there is something to do for both adults and children. If you don’t want to spend your entire vacation on the seashore, you can get acquainted with a large number of interesting sights of the island. Both older tourists and young people will feel comfortable here. For example, young people flock to the neighboring island of Koh Phangan, where huge open-air discos are held: “Full Moon Parties”.
Those who have retired go to cozy Maenam Beach, where you can admire stunning sunsets. From Koh Samui you can go to many islands, such as the “turtle” island of Koh Tao, for diving or snorkeling.
The very beautiful island of Madsum awaits its guests on snow-white beaches that embrace the virgin tropical jungle. In the heart of Samui hide stunningly beautiful waterfalls, butterfly parks, and snake farms. Tourists with children will not be disappointed by visiting a tiger and leopard show, or an aquarium with tropical fish.
Sightseeing lovers won't miss the famous Hin Ta and Hin Yai (Grandmother and Grandfather) rocks, Big Buddha and many beautiful stupas and temples.
Kitchen
Thai restaurants on the island are located literally at every step. Wherever you stay during your holiday, you will always find a cozy place where you can enjoy authentic Thai cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere. A large number of cafes, restaurants and bars are located on the coastline, where you can not only eat delicious food, but also admire the views of the Gulf of Thailand. In addition to restaurants offering Thai cuisine, lovers of European, Russian, Indian, and Chinese cuisine will always be able to find an establishment that interests them.
If you want to get the full experience of Thai cuisine, we suggest you try some local dishes cooked on a makashnitsa (scooter equipped for cooking).
Transport
The island's public transport system is Songthaew. The Songthaew is a brightly colored truck equipped to carry passengers. But it is worth noting that during the day, songthaews, as a rule, follow a certain established route, while in the evening or at night they work exclusively as an individual taxi. Prices for trips during the day and at night are certainly very different. To avoid misunderstandings, be sure to check the cost with the driver before the start of your trip, and not at the place of arrival.
The remaining transport options to the island will invariably consist of a ferry crossing. The nearest city on the mainland is Donsak, from whose pier ferries and boats depart daily to Koh Samui. In an hour and a half, the ferry will take you to the bounty island. You can get to Donsak by bus from Bangkok.
Another option for getting from the capital of Thailand to Donsak is to take a train to Surat Thani, and from there take a regular bus to Donsak.
Souvenirs
On Samui you can buy natural pearls, which will be an excellent gift for you or your loved ones. Another gift option is natural coconut oil, which is produced on the island.
Koh Samui is the second largest island in the Kingdom of Thailand, and its dimensions are 20 by 16 kilometers. For comparison, this is slightly larger than the city of Tver. Those who have spent more than one month on Samui do not need to use a map, but for beginners it can be very useful, especially when preparing for the trip. I also have similar cards.
I personally like Google Maps, which I consider one of the best online maps for Thailand: there are photos of places, almost all streets and paths are present, there is a map search and navigation. In addition to them, it is also convenient to use paper maps on site or scans of them on a computer. They give a clear idea of what areas and beaches there are on the island and where they are located. You can also immediately figure out where the attractions are located. Yes, the detail of such maps sometimes leaves much to be desired, but every time I take them on the spot, put them in the glove compartment of a bike or car, and the first days with them are very, very convenient.
Such cards are available at the airport, shops, hotel counters or car rentals. If you fly directly to Samui, then do not rush to buy a card at the Suvarnaphumi airport shop. Excellent free maps of several types, on good paper, are available in the lounge area of Bangkok Airways, the only carrier from Suvarnaphumi to Koh Samui.
If we look at the island globally, the busiest and most interesting for swimming are the northern, northeastern and eastern coasts. The south of the island has an exceptionally shallow and rocky bottom. Swimming here is unsafe in some places, but the landscapes and color of the sea leave the impression of a bounty fairy tale. The western part of the island is not popular with mass tourists, but is distinguished by beautiful sunsets and sections of the coast that have completely wild beaches isolated from people. In the west there are two main piers of Koh Samui, which does not add to the cleanliness of the local ecology.
The most popular beaches on Koh Samui are:, and. Chaweng Beach is considered the unofficial entertainment capital of the island. Lamai Beach is a light version of Chaweng, although both beaches are almost the same length. Maenam Beach has long had a reputation as a calm and family place with life “on the block” that falls asleep after sunset.
My favorite beach on Koh Samui is Maenam. Lots of shade, deep sea, lack of noisy parties and entertainment venues, a decent selection of cafes and two markets. As well as a convenient geographical location between the airport and the piers. There is an excellent combination of tranquility and infrastructure, and there are few people on the beach due to the small number of hotels; mainly those who come for a long time live here.
The second beach, where we rented our first house, became no less attractive to us. Located “across the wall” from Maenam, this beach is deserted and quiet. Bang Po is an even more secluded version of Maenam. The sea there is not for everyone (it’s good for children, not so much for adults), but I personally am ready to forgive it for the almost complete absence of people on the shore. However, after a month, you need more services within walking distance, and you want to go to a more civilized place.
Supermarkets (Big C, Tesco, Macro) and the Central Festival shopping center are located between and Chaweng, and there is also a medium-sized Tesco right on Lamai, which is why Lamai is a rather attractive beach for many. Actually, if I were choosing where to live with a child, I would choose between Maenam and Lamai.

Koh Samui is one of the most beloved and visited holiday destinations. It is associated with sandy beaches, orchids and pineapples, coconut plantations, warm sunshine and beautiful beaches.
Location Koh Samui
Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand. It is surrounded by more than 60 other islands. To recognize Samui on the map, just look at the location of the Kingdom of Thailand.
The island is located in the Pacific Ocean, namely in the Gulf of Thailand. It is approximately 40 km away from the nearest mainland, Surat Thani.
You can get there in 1.5 hours by ferry or 40 minutes on a special high-speed catamaran. It is also possible to fly to the mainland by plane, but this will cost much more.
The distance from Koh Samui to Bangkok is approximately 690 km.
Island Features
Koh Samui is often compared to Phuket, but they are not exactly alike. These islands are located in different places and have different climatic conditions from each other. The Gulf of Thailand is a calm place that does not have high waves like in Phuket.
The main features of Koh Samui are the harmonious combination of uncrowded beaches, clean sea, perfectly preserved ecology and well-developed infrastructure. There are various beaches with white and golden sand, secluded and noisy places. Also on the island you can see the real jungle and ride elephants.
Samui is suitable for those who love clear seas, a leisurely pace of life and the absence of many people.
Climate
The climate on Koh Samui is very hot, tropical with high levels of humidity. The whole year here can be divided into three seasons - dry, hot and rainy.
The dry season lasts from December to February. The air temperature fluctuates around 26 degrees. This is the most fertile time for travelers and island residents, since the tourist season is in full swing. During this period, all hotels on the island are occupied, prices for services are quite high everywhere.
The hot season begins in March and lasts until September. The temperature remains 35 degrees until April. Clouds appear in the sky, winds blow and there are periodic showers.
The rainy season lasts from September to November. The weather on Samui at this time is extremely unpredictable. The winds become stronger, it rains for several days in a row, and the sea becomes restless. Despite this, tourists still come to the island, because at this time they can relax inexpensively in a calm, uncrowded environment.
How to get there
There is an airport on Koh Samui, but it does not accept international flights from distant countries. From Russia you can fly to Bangkok or Phuket. Then you should board a local airline and continue to Koh Samui. This flight will last only one hour. You can also reach the island by plane from Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore.
And from the mainland of Surat Thani or Nakhon Si Thammarat it is possible to arrive by transfer by ferry or minivan.
