Information
 Surat
Thani is southern Thailand's largest province, covers some 12,800
square kilometres, and has an extensive coastline lapped by Thai
Gulf waters. The provincial capital is 685 kilometres south of Bangkok.
Surat Thani boasts some of Thailand's loveliest islands namely the
Penang-sized Ko Samui, Thailand's third largest island, palm-fringed
jewel of a sparkling archipelago that includes the stunning 250-square-kilometre
Ang Thong Marine National Park.
Surat Thani once formed part, and may have been the centre, of
the Mahayana Buddhist Srivijaya Empire which steeped in legend and
mystery, dominated the Malay peninsula and much of Java some 1,500
years ago. Srivijaya was best described by the itinerant Chinese
monk I Ching after a pilgrimage he made to India during the late
600s. Archaeological discoveries at Chaiya district indicate the
former empire's splendour.
Today, Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations, famous for its sandy white beaches, waterfalls, and beautiful coral. If you’re after a party atmosphere it’s best to stay near Chaweng beach. If you’d like to stay in a quieter, family friendly area, try Mae Nam or Cheong Mon. Bangpo beach is home to some premium quality resorts, such as the Four Seasons, which is popular with many distinguished travelers. While Nathon, offers a good base for visitors interested in having close access to the islands’ waterfalls.
