Ang Thong National Marine Park is made up of 42 islands featuring lime stone massifs, tropical rainforests and deserted beaches. This fascinating group of islands, within sight of Koh Samui to the north and west, is geographically different from the other islands in the region. The Ang Thong islands rise from the sea as dramatic walls of rock soaring hundreds of metres high. Besides the many small coves and beautiful beaches, erosion has shaped some interesting formations. Particular features are Mae Ko (a beautiful beach) and Thale Nai (an emerald saltwater lake) both found on Koh Mae Ko. Koh Sam Sao has a coral reef and a huge rock arch as well as a hill providing great views of the surrounding area. There is a considerable amount of wildlife inhabiting the islands including the Asian long tailed monkey (langur), hair nosed otters, pacific reef egrets, white bellied sea eagles, ashy drongos, tortoises, sea turtles, lizards and pythons.The surrounding sea is also the major spawning ground for the short bodied mackerel, a tasty Thai delicacy. Snorkeling, walking and swimming are the most popular attractions of the region. The best time to visit this archipelago is late March to October when visibility is at its best. Get a few friends together and charter a boat so that you can explore the marvels of the 'Golden Basin' in your own time.
Muay Thai Boxing in Ko Samui is an event worth watching. You are sure to have a great time watching the national game of Thailand Muay Thai Boxing matches in Ko Samui are held in the Chaweng Stadium, located near the Reggae pub. The match is preceded by a wai khru dance performed by the contestants. This stadium is the biggest in the whole of Thailand and serves as a venue for all the major boxing championships. The fights are held twice a week on Mondays and Fridays all matches start at 9:00 p.m. and lasts for three hours.

However, the noise inn the stadium makes it a little difficult to hear the music. Not only local players, but also a large number of foreign and international boxers also participate in this sport. Mostly the professionals participate in these matches. The participants are expected to wear gloves and helmets in the tournaments. Tickets for the tournament are available from the ticket counters near the stadium. You can either go for a ringside or a table seat or a seat in the surrounding area.
Koh Phangan is a very special place, there are few places in this world where you can live out your desert island dreams of palm trees and white sand beaches, and still have a blinding night out at a rocking party every month. With the global notoriety that the Full Moon Party has gained as being one of the biggest and best beach bashes in the world, we get more than our fair share of hedonists gracing our shores. Haad Rin is home to the Full Moon Party and also houses about 3-5000 rather mad people; it is the island's nightlife capital and has Koh Phangan's biggest concentration of beach clubs that collectively put on the ultimate travellers get together. Within this transient crowd of party animals some highly talented DJ's pass through, banging out their wares to the raging lunar explorers that have landed on planet party. Literally ten of thousands appear solely for the point of joining in the action.
The monkey theater proposes shows in which the monkeys can emphasize their dexterity and not only in the cropping of coconuts, also show with elephants. The theater is located on the left by leaving Chaweng on the way to Bophut , in a street behind, there are signposts. Several daily shows, rather funny, the monkeys will well make you laugh and you will spend a good time. Otherwise you will always be able to visit one of the numerous small "Monkey shows" which you will find on the roadsides for a few tens of baht.
Grandmother and Grandfather Rock is a famous landmark found at the south end of the picturesque Lamai beach in the island of Koh Samui. These Koh Samui attractions can stop any tourist on their tracks to take a picture of the famous rocks. These rock formations were shaped by nature resembling human sex organs. The Grandmother rock has a belly and a split forming the legs. On the other hand, the Grandfather rock is shaped like a penis.
This temple is the home of Koh Samui's most famous landmark the Big Buddha. Most Visitors come to marvel at the sheer size and beauty of this remarkable statue at some point during their holiday. Visible from several kilometers away and even from the air when arriving on or leaving the island , the 12 meter tall golden image stands proud.
