Workation in Ko Samui: the essentials
Thailand's second-largest island covers about 229 square kilometres and received 2.7 million tourists in 2018, so expect a well-serviced resort economy rather than an escape. Chaweng and Lamai are the busy beaches, Bophut's Fisherman's Village and Mae Nam are calmer, and a ring road links them all, often with slow traffic. Hospitals, supermarkets and coworking spaces make longer stays straightforward. Samui International Airport is about 6 km away, and car ferries run from Donsak on the mainland. Ang Thong Marine Park is the classic day trip, and the rainiest months are October to December.
