If you go to one island in Thailand make sure it's Koh Samui. It will enchant you the moment you set foot at the airport. It might just be Thailand's best kept secret.

Koh Samui is wonderful. Chaweng Beach was pretty clean. Water was clear and warm. The service we received around the island was very good. We loved the vibe of the beachfront bars and restaurants-casual and easy going. Highly recommend!
