1. KohSamui
KohSamui The 247-square-kilometre Samuiisland is
SuratThani's major tourist attraction. Located 258 nautical
miles south of Bangkok, and some 84 kilometres east of the
provincial capital, KohSamui measures some 21 kilometres
at its widest point, and 25 kilometres at its longest. A 51-
kilometre ring and largely coastal road encircles the island,
which has numerous lovely beaches and bays, and is almost
literally an island of coconuts and forested hills.
Samui's best beaches line the northern and eastern coasts,
the most popular being Hat Chaweng and Hat Lamai, where
generally attractive accommodation can be found. Other
beaches include Hat Choeng Mon, Hat Mae Nam in the north
and Hat Na Thon, the island's major seafront settlement

2. where shops, restaurants and tour agencies are
concentrated. At the southern end of Lamai Bay are phallic
rock formations called Hin Ta HinYai. A path connects the
three waterfalls, called NamtokHinLat, NamtokLatWanon,
and Namtok Na Muang, from west to south. The waterfalls
are best visited during rainy season. Elephant riding is an
interesting activity at the Na Muang waterfall. There are
some Buddhist monuments and temples on the island:
PhraYai is a massive seated Buddha image at Fan isle;
PhrathatHinNgu is a stupa containing the Buddha’s relics
and ChediLaem So, a golden stupa on the western coast; and
WatKhunaram houses the dead body of Luang Pho Daeng
which does not decay.
