<p>Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime? Travelling in an auto rickshaw will make you feel Bangkok, the hyperactive capital, buzz with life. Next step: the south of Thailand, which is even more charming… Bays, coves, bungalows on deserted beaches, clear water and colourful corals, underwater caves and rocks springing from the sea. Your journey to Thailand will allow you to experience the flavour of salty water, diving and blissful idleness.You will continue your journey north to Chiang Mai, where you will learn so much: there are so many cooking classes and massage courses to choose from. Later, you will take one of the most beautiful roads in the north, Chiang Maia Mae Hong Son, a journey brave travellers will take on two wheels. Between discovering misty, jungle-covered hillsides and villages nestled deep in splendid valleys: your stay in Thailand will be almost supernaturally beautiful.</p>

 <div>I arrived in Koh Samui after an exhausting trip and many long hours by bus. I was so pleased to be able to stay on this island, which is suitable for backpackers and families and also for romantic breaks</div> <div>I spent three days on Koh Samui and was able to relax on the long beaches of white sand, swim in the turquoise ocean, and sip cocktails on a lounger with my feet in the water…total chill-out mode!</div> <div>I hired a scooter to explore the island and ventured into the jungle where I found some waterfalls and even came across some elephants! I also watched a Thai boxing match in the city.</div> 

<p>Whether for a romantic holiday as a couple or for holidays with family or friends, <strong>KohSamuiis definitely one of Thailand's more popular destinations</strong>. It's been one of the first beach destinations I've gone to each time I've visited Thailand.</p> <p>Because it's a large island, it's perfectly possible to avoid the crowds you can find on some of the beaches along its east coast.I prefer the more peaceful atmosphere of BoPhutin the north for example.I go to visit the point where the Big Buddha Temple is located; I venture deep into the coconut palm forests in the center of the island. I don't find myself getting bored.</p> <p>The island has some nice surprises to offer, such as the HinYaiHinTa rock formations and HuaThanon Beach,with the latter almost feeling like a beach in the Seychelles.However, I am critical of the over-development seen in some parts of Samui, with increasing numbers of hotels leading to some areas becoming unsightly and spoiled. Sections of the beaches have been made private in these areas, making access difficult.</p> 

Koh Samui is the main island on the Gulf of Thailand side of the country and is very popular with tourists as a beach destination.
