Kho Samui or Samui island, Surat Thani province Thailand
Thailand's third-largest island, about the size of Penang. Kho Samui is one of a group lying 18 miles off the coast of Surat Thani province. Covering 100 square miles, the hilly island has a thinly scattered population of about 35,000, most of whom traditionally derive a livelihood from huge inland plantations that produce some of the best coconuts in Thailand.
Thousands of coconuts are sent to Bangkok and other parts of the country annually, and there is also a factory producing coconut fiber. Until the late 1970's the physical charms of Kho Samui were a closely guarded secret among a relatively small number of adventurous travelers-mostly budget-minded backpackers like me!!!
