The island of great natural beauty and variety, Samui is home to about 40,000 full-time inhabitants, 90% of whom are Buddhist. The palm-fringed shoreline and coconut and fruit cultivation of the coastal lowlands rise to a central granite massive, the slopes of which are cloaked in virgin rainforest.
At 247 km² Samui is the second-largest island in Thailand and the largest island in the Chumphon Archipelago of over 80 (mostly uninhabited) islands which form the Ang Thong National Marine Park, a kayaking and snorkeling paradise. At 25 km long and 21 km wide, Samui is big enough for serious exploration by the adventurous and fit, but can be circumnavigated in just a couple of hours by motorbike or car.
The island was probably first inhabited about 15 centuries ago, settled by fishermen from the Malay Peninsula and southern China. It appears on Chinese maps dating back to 1687, under the name Pulo Cornam. The name Samui is mysterious in itself. Perhaps it is an extension of the name of one of the native trees, mui, or it is a corruption of the Chinese word Saboey, meaning "safe haven".
Climate
Koh Samui's climate is pleasantly tropical in both temperature and humidity. The average temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius, or 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Dry Season: December - February
Breezy & clear with a lot of sunshine this season is great for wind and body surfing.
The Hot Season: March - September
The weather is still dry during this time and usually very sunny and hot, though May has occasional sprinkles. This is a great period to visit the island.
The Rainy Season: October - November
Although these months are known as the 'monsoon season' there are still many sunny & hot days to enjoy. The showers are often short so on some occasions you may find yourself enjoying a refreshing monsoon for a few hours to break from the sun.
Activities
Your villa manager
will have a wealth of information about places of interest and will
help arrange transport and make any bookings required. Do also ask the
staff about the area too. Most will live nearby and can give an
interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of local
life...
