Thailand's natural jewel and the country's second largest island, Samui - or Ko Samui - is one of the world's major tourist destinations, renowned for its white sandy beaches lined with coconut palms, coral reefs and warm, turquoise waters that turn green in the light. Located just 35 kilometres northeast of Surat Thani, Koh Samui is at the centre of an archipelago of 85 islets that make up Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park (the Golden Bowl Islands), including Koh Pha Ngan and Koh Tao. The island is covered in untamed tropical jungle. Nathon, the island's main town, is a fishing port in the southwest and is the economic engine of the island.
