This camera overlooks a beautiful stretch of beach on Koh Samui, Thailand's second-largest island in the Gulf of Thailand. The turquoise water laps gently against fine white sand lined with swaying coconut palms, while traditional longtail boats with their brightly painted prows bob at anchor just offshore.
The beach scene is laid-back and tropical. Vendors push carts of fresh mango and grilled seafood along the sand, while massage tables sit beneath thatched umbrellas. The gentle slope of the seafloor creates a wide band of shallow, wadeable water that glows aquamarine in the midday sun.
Beyond the beach, the green hills of Koh Samui's interior rise steeply, covered in dense tropical vegetation and coconut plantations that have been the island's economic backbone for over a century. Passing rain showers create brief, dramatic curtains of water that blow across the bay before giving way to sunshine.
Koh Samui covers 88 square miles and is home to roughly 63,000 permanent residents, though tourism swells the population significantly. The island produces about two million coconuts per month, exported primarily for oil and food products. Koh Samui's airport, built by Bangkok Airways, features open-air terminals with thatched roofs. The Big Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yai, sitting 40 feet tall, has been a landmark since 1972.
Late morning from 10 AM to 1 PM Indochina Time offers the clearest water and best beach visibility. The dry season from December through April provides the most consistent sunshine. Full moon parties on nearby Koh Phangan draw visitors from Koh Samui monthly. The Songkran water festival in April adds festive energy.
