While there are quite a few tropical island destinations in Thailand, Koh Samui is one of the most accessible. English is more widely spoken on the island than in many other parts of the country, and there are a number of pristine beaches on the island of Koh Samui, including Lamai and Chaweng. The island is a haven for animal lovers, and you can visit Angthong Marine Park or take in a tiger show at the Samui Aquarium.
Koh Samui is the only island in Thailand that is home to an international airport, Koh Samui at Samui Airport (USM). Metered taxis are available in Chaweng and Lamai, and mini buses operate throughout most of the day and usually run routes between the major beach areas. You can traverse road 4169, which encircles the island, in a motorbike taxi or on your own rental bike.
Chaweng is home to the majority of the island's nightlife, and there are a large number of bars and clubs located there. The nightlife in Lamai is more laid back, but there are several bars in the area that are located right on the beach. If you are in Koh Samui in April, be sure to check out the jellyfish petting zoo that is only open to the public for one day every year.
