Swim , snorkel and feel the sand between your toes at these idyllic southern Gulf islands
Koh Samui ’ s white sands and relaxed ambience may have boosted the island ’ s reputation in recent years , yet much of its sleepy charm and natural beauty lingers . Lively Chaweng is the island ’ s hub with an impressive beach , vibrant nightlife and inviting restaurants , along with street markets , boutiques and malls . Further south is Lamai , which although quieter , has dining and shopping aplenty , while on the north coast , Mae Nam and Bo Phut deliver a more serene setting for sunseekers . When in Bo Phut head to Fisherman ’ s Village , where rustic buildings house boutiques and trendy restaurants plus each Friday it hosts the popular Walking Street Market . If you can drag yourself away from the shimmering ocean and silky sands , check out the 39ft high Big Buddha shrine ; Na Muang Waterfalls and the pristine Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park with its uninhabited beaches , fertile mangroves and superb snorkelling and diving . Just nine miles off Koh Samui is Koh Phangan , famous for the Full Moon parties on Haad Rin Beach each full moon night . Away from Haad Rin Beach , this is a tranquil place with dense jungle covering inland mountains and beautiful sheltered bays where you can laze under a nodding palm . Jungle-topped Koh Tao ( Turtle Island ) is small , yet perfectly formed , and gaining in popularity . Beach lovers and dive enthusiasts are welcomed by white-sand beaches and a playground of coral reefs teeming with marine life .
Getting there : Flights from Bangkok to Koh Samui take 1½ hours . Koh Phangan is a 30 minute boat journey from Koh Samui and Koh Tao is a 2 hour boat journey from Koh Samui .
Best time to go : The weather is generally good all year . The dry season runs from December-March , the hottest time is March-April while from May-September thunderstorms can be expected .
