Ko Samui island of Surat Thani Province (or Koh Samui, Thai: เกาะสมุย), or often, simply Samui as it is referred to by locals, is an island off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand, close to the mainland Surat Thani town. It is Thailand’s third largest island, with an area of 228.7 km2 and a population of over 50,000 (2008). It is rich with natural resources, white sandy beaches, coral reefs and coconut trees.
Although Ko Samui is in southern Thailand, where Islam has a strong influence, the original inhabitants of the island, known as ‘Chao Samui’, are predominantly Buddhist. In the past, most of the locals made their living in the coconut farming business. Nowadays, however, most work in jobs related to tourism.
Many locals have become wealthy from selling off land they have owned for decades. As a result of the extensive development of the island, many Thai-Chinese have come to Samui from the capital of Bangkok (Khung-Thep). Most of the manual labor needed to keep up with the islands growth has been provided by people native to the countrys poorer north-eastern region. As a result, there is a wide cross section of economic classes on the island.
The south of Thailand is a melting pot of Buddhists, Thai Chinese, Muslims and traditional sea-faring gypsies. Ko Samui does not seem to suffer from the religious tensions in communities along the southern border of Malaysia and Thailand, and in general the locals live in harmony. Outside of the tourist areas, the Thai language is spoken with a thick Southern dialect which is even difficult for northern Thais to understand.
With this broad mixture of cultures, Ko Samui is always celebrating some tradition or another, including western

Ko/Koh Samui is an island in the Gulf of Thailand, northeast of Surat Thani town, and is the third largest island of Thailand after Phucket being first and Koh Chang the second largest. Ko or Koh means island in Thai and the island is usually just referred to as Samui, and is one of the most sought after destinations for travelers coming to Thailand. Because of this the tropical island has becomed more developed to a tropical beach resort island but it still maintains its charm. There are many things to do on the island from relaxing on a cocnut beach filled beach to tropical jungles or vibrant nightlife. Accomdations on the island range from bungalows on the beach to five star hotels. Samui island activities can include elephant trekking, canoeing, sailing, diving, golfing, fishing, biking, and many more like visits to waterfalls, temples, the jungle, butterfly garden, aquarium, tiger zoo, monkey theater, snake and crocodile farm, and much more.
One of the resorts on Koh Samui is filmed in our piece: Coral Bay Resort. Coral Bay is designed for travelers in search of a relaxing and eco-friendly holiday experience. The peaceful natural environment of Coral Bay Resort minimizes the stress of todays urban lifestyle and offers a welcome alternative to the crowded concrete establishments that unfortunately are becoming all too prevalent on Koh Samui. Their 56 bungalows are set amid 10 acres of lush tropical gardens, ensuring an atmosphere of serenity and privacy. Surrounded by luxuriant coconut palms and flowering shrubs, the charming Samui-style dwellings built of wood and stone with traditional thatched roofs offer the highest standards of comfort.
