This
beautiful 247-square-kilometre island, one of the most famous attractions
of Thailand, is some 84 kilometres east of Surat Thami's provincial capital.
It can be reached by boat from Surat Thani town or by ferry either from
Don Sak or Khanom. A 51-Kilometre ring 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 are Chaweng Beach and Lamai Beach
where, generally, attractive accommodation can be found. [Visit
