What's Koh Samui like?

Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles and for good reasons. The friendly Thai people always go out of their way to make visitors welcome. When you think of Thailand, national parks, beaches, and temples come to mind. Explore the island's unique culture and charm by visiting the Big Buddha Temple on the northeast coast: it has an amazing 40-foot statue looking out across the sea. Check out the awesome rock formations of Hin Ta and Hin Yai near Lamai Beach. There are plenty of local myths and folklore about these rocks, which are amusing to the Thais as well as foreign visitors. The entire family can enjoy a day out at Koh Samui's Aquarium and Tiger Show. Get close up and personal with the marine life, Bengal tigers, and leopards, but maybe not too close.

Tips for getting along with the locals in Koh Samui
