About Koh Samui

Koh Samui is the beating heart of the Gulf of Thailand's island scene. Thailand's second-largest island sits at the apex of a perfect three-island triangle — Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao — offering a natural yacht charter circuit that covers pristine marine park archipelagos, world-class dive sites, and legendary beach culture. The Ang Thong National Marine Park, with its 42 islands spanning 102 sq km of pristine Gulf waters, is the crown jewel of any Samui charter and is best experienced from the private deck of a chartered catamaran.
