About <strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong><br />
Loc<strong>at</strong>ion, Loc<strong>at</strong>ion, Loc<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
The island of coconuts, <strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong>, is the third largest island in<br />
Thailand and also one of the top destin<strong>at</strong>ions in Asia. Visitors<br />
arrive to this sun soaked tropical paradise by taking a short<br />
60 minutes plane ride from Bangkok (90 minutes from<br />
Singapore) to this most beautiful tropical paradise island. <strong>Prana</strong><br />
<strong>Samui</strong> is just 5 minutes drive from the <strong>Samui</strong> Intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
Airport and 10 minutes away from the busy Chaweng Beach<br />
and shopping strip.<br />
When you arrive, your organised transfer will bring you to the<br />
resort where you can quickly start to relax.<br />
Guests who choose to have the full <strong>Prana</strong> tre<strong>at</strong>ment and book<br />
the exclusive suite will receive complimentary VIP transfers.<br />
<strong>Prana</strong> <strong>Samui</strong> is idyllically loc<strong>at</strong>ed on the tranquil northern coast<br />
of the island on Bangrak beach, a two kilometre sandy shoreline<br />
fringed by coconut palms leaning over the sea.<br />
Bangrak beach is better known as “Big Buddha Beach” due to<br />
a very large golden st<strong>at</strong>ue of Buddha which is the prominent<br />
landmark in the area. <strong>Prana</strong> <strong>Samui</strong> is loc<strong>at</strong>ed very near to The<br />
Big Buddha Temple <strong>at</strong> W<strong>at</strong> Phrai Yai. This is one of the <strong>Koh</strong><br />
<strong>Samui</strong>’s most famous landmarks and is visible from the resort<br />
and from several kilometres away.<br />
From Big Buddha Beach, it takes about 15-minute drive to the<br />
bustling, vibrant and action-packed centre of Chaweng Beach.<br />
Taxi transport<strong>at</strong>ion is available on the island. Although the use<br />
of meters has improved recently, tourists are always advised to<br />
try to use taxis th<strong>at</strong> display `Taxi-Meter”. Make sure you ask the<br />
driver to use the meter before you set off. If not, settle on a price<br />
before you start.<br />
Another fun way of getting around is by “Songtaew” or “Thai<br />
pickup bus”, which is very inexpensive. The Songtaew drive a<br />
circular route looking for fares - so you will see a cosmopolitan<br />
mixture of different views and can meet some interesting tourists<br />
and Thai local people as they get on and off the Songtaew.<br />
Clim<strong>at</strong>e<br />
<strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong> has a pleasant clim<strong>at</strong>e all year round with a<br />
temper<strong>at</strong>ure of 25 - 34 degrees Celsius.<br />
The island has three official seasons:<br />
• Warm and dry season from February till August;<br />
• Rainy season from the end of September till December;<br />
• Cool season which extends from October till January.<br />
When is the best time to visit <strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong><br />
The best time would be around January and February, the cool<br />
season of the year. March to June are the hottest months, with<br />
temper<strong>at</strong>ure ranging from 32 - 40 degrees.<br />
The rainy season starts from September to mid December.<br />
Although it is still sunny, downpours do become more frequent<br />
as the year comes to a close. <strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong> tends to be a little<br />
less hectic and the shopkeepers are prepared to barter to a<br />
good price.
