Beachside bungalows and luxury spa hotels draw sun-seekers and honeymooners to Koh Samui, just off Thailand's eastern coast. A trip here includes palm-lined white sand strands, hillside panoramic viewpoints, snorkeling offshore in Ang Thong National Marine Park, and many other attractions on the island. Every year brings more and more options for where to stay, with the best accommodations increasingly becoming high-end resorts rather than backpacker hangouts. Neighborhoods in Koh Samui are not clearly defined, but different areas have individual vibes ranging from party towns to secluded coves.
