Koh Som is a small hidden island located just off the northeast coast of Koh Samui, offering a peaceful escape surrounded by unspoiled nature. It is an ideal destination for travelers seeking privacy and tranquility away from crowded tourist spots

The island’s highlight is its clean white sandy beach on the southern side, with crystal-clear waters where you can easily see the seabed. The island is also home to coconut groves and friendly local goats, creating a unique and charming atmosphere

On the northern side, rocky cliffs provide a perfect viewpoint, especially in the evening when you can enjoy a beautiful sunset over Koh Samui. From here, visitors can also experience airplane spotting, watching flights take off and land from Samui Airport in a unique perspective
