Koh Samui - romantic jewel in the tropic🇹🇭

It is only about 25km long and 20km wide and there is a ring road with quite some traffic around it. The island is hilly and when it is too hot just go up to get some cooler air in the forest. Maybe the best way to get around is to rent a motorbike for THB 200 a day or the pickup cars. Taxis are rather expensive but still affordable.
