The third largest island in Thailand, Koh Samui, nestled amidst an archipelago of over 80 islands is a picturesque panaroma of tropical beaches and cultural sights. Despite Samui consisting of a relatively small area, its abundance of activities make it impossible to enjoy the full scope of its experience in a single trip. When dealing with a three-day time frame, naturally, it is important to squeeze in the best escapades into your itenerary.
