Ko Samui Accommodation website launched

Aug. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Ko Samui is probably Thailand's most sought-after holiday destinations. It is located off the east coast, with Surat Thani being the on-shore ferry port. The island has white sandy beaches and translucent waters, an abundance of marine life in the coral reefs. The beaches are surrounded by coconut trees.

Accommodation on the island ranges from simple bungalows to luxury villas and apartments to to 5-star resorts. The most popular beaches to stay on are Chaweng and Lamai, with Bophut and Maenam for a quieter stay.

For places to go and things to do, the list of Ko Samui's attractions is immensely: waterfalls, snake farms, gardens, Buddhist temples, an aquarium and a zoo. There is also the opportunity to explore the surrounding islands.

Ang Thong National Park, as in Alex Garland's The Beach, has a variety of wildlife, with formidable rock formations, secret caves and hidden lagoons. The Na Muang Waterfall is the most scenic.

Other islands include Ko Tao, or "Turtle Island", covering an area of  21 square kilometres. It is almost exclusively centered around scuba diving and snorkelling with hiking and rock climbing also catered for. Visitors can get to Ko Tao by a ferry service from Ko Samui. It takes around 2 hours to get there. The infamous Ko Pha-ngan is best known for its full moon parties at Haad Rin Beach.

For discounted accommodation, the very best resorts and villas are listed on the site and bookings are made via the R24 portal and is associated with the Ko Chang Island website.
