Koh Samui is Thailand’s self-styled Boutique Island, with it’s ‘coconut’ feel, it offers an abundance of high end spa’s, restaurants and every imaginable luxury.
The Ko Samui Cruising area includes the Islands of Ko Pha Ngan, well known for its edgy full moon parties and the Island of Ko Tao, a world-renowned diving destination. Also close by is the virtually unheard of island group of the Ang Thong Marine Park which rivals the beauty of Phanga Bay, one of the must see highlights of the Phuket cruising area.
