Koh Samui, located in the Southern Gulf of Thailand, is one of Thailand’s most popular islands for international tourists, retirees, and investors. This should not come as a surprise due to its amazing features: pristine coastline beaches, gorgeous and unobstructed views of the sea, and immaculate nature.
