Na Muang Water Fall

Koh Samui has become a popular tourist destination in the recent years while Thailand itself has become a popular tourist stop in the East. Even though famous for its beaches Koh Samui is also famous for its tropical lush greens and the Na Muang Water Fall is truly one of nature’s blessings. Lying around 12 kilometers inland from the island’s beaches , the Na Muang Water Falls are truly a picturesque site.

Being a popular tourist destination there is no shortage of Luxury Resorts. Koh Samui is a perfect place to find resorts of such caliber. On that stands out the most is the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort & Spa. An ideal place to enjoy unmatched luxury by one of the most beautiful beaches in Koh Samui.

The Na Muang Water Fall is a set of two waterfalls one. Na Muang 1 is a waterfall that drops into a natural pool which is ideal to soak off the heat, as one proceeds further uphill for around thirty minutes, they can find the Na Muang 2 water fall which is of equal majesty.

The water fall area is ideal for families to spend the day hiking, swimming or just enjoying a picnic and most tours around Koh Samui do not fail to include a pits stop at these scenic falls. The nearby elephant safari camp also is quite famous among tourist as this allows them explore the lush jungles surrounding the falls. The path can be steep and slippery and quite challenging to people who aren’t of a certain level of fitness. There are also many stalls on the way to the falls that sell food , souvenirs and other little goodies.

There are many famous beaches not too far from the falls, which is great for a change. The perfect time to visit the falls would be September to November when the falls flow down as cascades.

Island Tours in Koh Samui

Koh Samui, Thailand’s largest island, was once a Thai fishing community. Not long ago it was a sleepy destination that only attracted a few backpackers and had little in the way of attractions. In just a few years it has grown in popularity. The white, sandy beaches away from the frenzy of activity in the big cities draw,budget travellers bunking in simple beachside bungalows and wealthy vacationers seeking luxurious Samui resort getaways, alike.

The beaches themselves have a broad appeal: Chaweng Beach has a party atmosphere and is well known for its cabaret shows, Lamai Beach is quieter with its famous Grandma and Granparocks. The body of Samui’s most famous monk, Luang Pordaeng, can also be seen here in its mummified state. Big Buddha Beach is on the northern coast of Koh Samui. The twelve meter tall golden Buddha statue is visible many kilometres away and is the most famous landmark in Samui. The statue is located inside a temple which has several other shrines and statues. A market close by sells souvenirs and has an array of food stalls. Yet another beach, Bophut Beach is renowned for the quint Fisherman’s Village, the most well preserved section of the island. It exudes a distinct Mediterranean feel reminiscent of the days it was used as a French outpost. Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort & Spa is also located here and offers stunning beach views.

The best way to get to Koh Samui, is to fly. There are over twenty daily flights from Bangkok, you can also fly directly to the island from Singapore, Phuket or Pataya. Koh Samui gets tropical monsoon weather; it is hot and humid all year round. Rain is usually seen between September and November but only in brief bursts.
