Koh Samui
A sun lover's holiday paradise, Koh Samui ('the coconut island')
is Thailand's third largest island resort and no longer the
footloose and fancy-free backpacker's secret hideaway. Koh Samui
now rivals Phuket as one of Thailand's most popular holiday
destinations, with regular flights arriving at its own airport
disgorging keen holidaymakers. A range of accommodation options
exists on Koh Samui, from modest beach bungalows to luxury holiday
resort hotels. The island still retains its laid-back atmosphere
though, with friendly locals, good food and some not too commercial
local attractions, like a crocodile farm and butterfly garden, to
keep visitor's entertained. Night time is party-time with open-air
discos and music bars throbbing in the darkness.
Information & Facts
Language
Thai is the official language, although English is widely
spoken in tourist areas.
Money
The unit of currency is the Baht (THB), which is divided
into 100 satang. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, banks,
hotels and bureaux de change. Banks are open Monday to Friday. ATMs
are available in most cities and tourist resorts. Most large hotels
and shops accept travellers cheques, but a better rate will be
given at banks. Most major credit cards are accepted at hotels and
larger businesses.
