Koh Samui has made the transition from island community to backpacker haven to mainstream tourist destination. Now the island in the Gulf of Thailand has 5 star resorts, western entertainment and regular air service from multiple city destinations.
An order seems to be emerging as to what types of accommodations are
developed on which beach. Chaweng is the most attractive beach with wall to wall resorts
and nightlife. Lamai Beach is quieter as a close second, while Maenam Beach is the high rent district.
Ko Samui has a significant number of day spas and spa resorts.
