Why Koh Samui is a Must-Visit for UK Travellers

Set in the sheltered, turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui is the quintessential luxury tropical island. Fringed by swaying coconut palms, powdery white sands, and granite boulders, Samui is famed for its world-class cliffside pool villa resorts, tranquil spa retreats, and the preserved wooden shophouses of Fisherman's Village in Bophut. Crucially for UK holidaymakers, Koh Samui enjoys its sunniest, driest weather between May and August, making it the perfect destination for UK summer school holidays.

Local Transport & Transit Guide

Getting around smoothly and safely
Trains, Metro & Transit Passes:

No trains on the island. Songthaew trucks loop the 50km coastal ring road regularly.

Taxis & Ride-Hailing Apps:

Grab operates on Koh Samui. Tucan Holidays arranges all private airport transfers and island tour vehicles in advance.

Special Tucan Chauffeur Transfers:

Speedboats and Lomprayah high-speed catamarans connect Koh Samui to neighbouring Koh Phangan (20 mins) and Koh Tao (90 mins).

Practical Travel Advice:

Hiring scooters on the island is common but we strongly advise against it due to gravel and steep inclines; our private chauffeured cars are safer and fully insured.

Accessibility & Pushchair Guide

Support for travellers with reduced mobility

General Overview: Bophut and Choeng Mon resort areas are largely level with beachfront wooden boardwalks.

Wheelchairs & Strollers: Resorts built on hillsides provide 24/7 golf buggy on-demand transit for guests.

Transit Access: Accessible private minivans can be pre-arranged by our London travel desk.

Hotel & Site Accessibility: We recommend beachfront pool villas rather than hillside units for travellers with limited mobility.

“Perfect July summer weather and unbelievable pool villa”

We travelled during the UK school summer holidays in July. While Phuket was having rainy monsoon weather, Koh Samui was glorious sunshine every single day! SALA Choengmon was pure luxury. The private pool was secluded and the service was world-class. Tucan Holidays took care of everything.
