Looking for a tropical island break not too far from Bangkok? Koh Samed is your destination! Yes, only 200 or so kilometers southeast of Bangkok lies a somewhat undisturbed sanctuary. So what are you waiting for? Spend your holidays and free time away in the relaxing environment of Koh Samed.
The island derives its name from the cajeput tree that grows in the area (yes, you guessed it, cajeput tree means Samed in Thai and Koh means island). It is also not a big island, measuring only 13.1 square kilometers around it's almost T shaped borders.
Despite it's closet proximity to the mainland, The entire island
receives less rainfall than anywhere else in Thailand. The island's
rainy season lasts from May-July, which is much shorter then the
May-October rainy season the rest of Thailand receives. Some good news
there, eh? Even though the island receives less precipitation, it still
consists of lush rainforests covered with evergreen and deciduous
forests, with an abundance of the mentioned cajeput trees.
