Select participants and date
You step through the arrival gate into warm, humid air and immediately spot the sign: your name on a plain A4 placard held by a courteous driver. The island’s soundtrack—scooters, distant waves, a vendor calling out in Thai—slides in around you as luggage wheels click across tile. Within minutes you’re in an air-conditioned vehicle, watching coconut palms and low limestone ridges slide past; the pace of arrival on Koh Samui is deliberate, calm and punctuated by honest views of fishing piers and roadside stalls selling fresh fruit.

Plan for traffic windows

History
Koh Samui evolved from a coconut and rubber economy into a tourist destination in the late 20th century; the island’s small temples and family farms still reflect that agricultural past.
