KOH SAMUI

Koh Samui is an Amphoe in Surat Thani Province. It is located in the northeast of the city, 35 kilometers away from Don Sak Pier and 84 kilometers away from Surat Thani City, and is the third biggest island in Thailand.

⭐ HIGHLIGHTS:

• Monkey Shows: The monkey’s famed ability as coconut collectors once formed the basis of Samui’s economy. During the performance, all their skills are shown to ludicrous effect.
