    The history of Ko Samui

    The name Ko Samui (or Koh Samui) can be translated into the Island of Samui in Thai and can be found in the Gulf of Thailand. This major tourist destination was inhabited approximately 1500 years ago and became a fishing village to be noted. While fishing and the abundance of coconut plantations were initially the island’s main source of income after a huge boom in the tourism industry in the 1970s, travel and tourism started bringing in more revenue and is still the largest contributor to the island’s economy.
