Samui, also called as Ko Samui, is an island off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand. It is Thailand's third largest island after Phuket and Ko Chang, located close to the mainland town of Surat Thani. Samui has abundant natural resources, white sandy beaches, coral reefs and coconut trees.

The cheap fan bungalows share beachfront property with places boasting beautifully decorated rooms, crisp white sheets, lush gardens and lavish pools, which highlight its charm to attract tourists. The best-visited time is during the hot and dry season, from February to late June.
