Introducing Lower Southern Gulf
If you’re shopping for penny-pinching paradises, Ko Samui, Ko Pha-Ngan and Ko Tao proffer fabulous bang for your baht. Bobbing like plump, green apples in the Gulf of Thailand, the Samui archipelago epitomises an exotic Eden fantasy for a fraction of the price. Calm, gin-clear seas, warm as a bath and sparkling a million shades of green, stretch on forever. Swaying palms and long stretches of porcelain sand give you the choice of basking until bronze, reading trashy romances or sipping juice from a coconut. When it comes to turning beach dreams into reality, these islands are master magicians.
Ko Samui is best for pampering, attracting a crowd of jetsetters, honeymooners, families and, unfortunately, men searching for love with Thai prostitutes. The villas here can come with private pools, restaurants are Michelin-star worthy and water sports are plentiful.
