The magical island of Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand,
80 Km off the coast of Surat Thani and about 560 Km south of Bangkok.
The
island is Thailand's third largest, measuring 21 kilometers at its
widest point and 25 kilometers in length. It is one of a group of 80
tropical islands, most of them deserted. A mountain ridge runs across
Koh Samui from east to west and most of the interior is forested hills.
The rich hues of wild vegetation are seen throughout, interspersed with
the contrasting greens of coconut palms and emerald paddy fields.
