Lying about 80 kilometres off Thailand’s east coast, amongst the Ang Tong group of islands in the Gulf of Siam, is the island of Koh Samui. From the minute you arrive, whether by ferry or air, you will be enchanted by the place. From practically every point on the island, you are granted a stunning view of the sea. The airport must rank as one of the most beautiful in the world. Its gardens burst forth with year round flowering glory and greenery. The ferry docks lead you straight onto palm fringed shores or quaint villages.
