What to Do on a Holiday in Koh Samui
The second largest island in Thailand after Phuket, Koh Samui is one of the most scenic and sought out holiday destinations in the world. While the beaches are the foremost attraction, Koh Samui also promises an excellent restaurant scene with plenty of opportunities for shopping and sightseeing as well. The island is a part of the virginal Angthong National Marine Park, a beautiful protected area that inspired Alex Garland to write his famous book by the name of 'The Beach.' What to see and do in Koh Samui Beaches: Koh Samui has much to offer the holidaymakers. The beaches are by far the greatest attraction. Dotted with coconut trees swaying gently in the breeze and lapping up the crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand, the beaches present a lively social vibe and are perfect for soaking up the tropical sun. Apart from sun bathing and lounging away the hours in a hammock, you can also enjoy a massage, get your hair braided and buy barbequed food right on the beaches....
