From January to May, the winds are calm, making this the ideal time for tourism. Koh Samui is a world-renowned destination, often referred to by both Thai and international tourists as the "Paradise in the Gulf of Thailand." This reputation stems from its rich and diverse tourism resources, featuring stunning natural beauty and unique charm. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking natural attractions such as crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches lined with swaying coconut palms. Additionally, the island boasts cool and refreshing waterfalls that flow almost year-round. There are also sites that showcase the local culture and heritage, including Wat Samret, Wat Laem Yai, Big Buddha Temple, and Wat Plai Laem, among others.
