Koh Samui, 280 Km2,
is the largest island of the Gulf of Siam. It is part of an archipelago
of 80 smaller islands of which 6 only are inhabited. It is almost
literally an island of coconuts and forested hills, on chalk mountains,
culminating at 636 meters. Its beautiful beaches, its jungle, its hills
and waterfall create a very changing landscape, rarely found in other
islands. Drive around the island, about 60km, takes less than one
hour. The easiest way to reach Koh Samui from Bangkok is by plane. Flight takes around one hour and is actually only made by Bangkok Airways who owns the beautiful small airport. Return flight from Bangkok to Samui costs around 7 000 Baht.
Located
on the eastern cost of Koh Samui , Chaweng is the most popular tourist
place on Samui. You will find here the longest beauiful beach of the
island and many places provide a large range of water-based recreational
activities. As Chaweng is also the biggest town, to go shopping in the
innumerable shops on the main road will show you the natural kindness of
the thai people and the art of a friendly bargaining.
Mana's Home is situated on the hills of Chaweng Village, 10 minutes by car or motorbike from Chaweng Beach, 15 minutes from the airport
