New Sunsail base in the Bo Phut Base, Koh Samui.

Located 50 miles off the coast of Suratthani and about 340 miles south of Bangkok, Koh Samui’s unique style means it is is rapidly becoming one of Thailand’s most popular destinations. Due to its unique location, Koh Samui and its surrounding islands offer fine and dry weather from May to September.

The island, Thailand's third largest, measures 13 miles at its widest point and 15 miles at its longest and is one of a group of 80 tropical islands, most of them deserted. A mountain ridge runs east to west and the rich hues of wild vegetation inland are dappled throughout with the contrasting greens of coconut palms and emerald paddy fields. The local population of a mere 34,000 consists mainly of Buddhist Thais and until the recent arrival of tourism, coconut farming and fishing were the main sources of income.
