With an area of 233 square kilometers

Ko (= island) Samui is the third largest

th island of Thailand. It is part of the

Samui archipelago, to which about 60

other islands belong. The interior is a mountain landscape largely covered by secondary forest. The original jungle

except for a few leftovers

cut down to space long ago

to create for plantations. A 51 kilometer ring road runs all around

the island, mostly along the coast. According to the legends that have been told about it, Samui has been at least for 1500 to 2000 years

temporarily settled. At that time, Chinese seafarers are said to be on the island

landed to take in fresh drinking water and repair their ships. Samui was also a fisherman from southern Malaysia

known for a long time. At the beginning of the 20th century, Muslim fishermen from the southern provinces of Thailand were added. This mix

different ethnicities and religions and a largely self-sufficient existence

the islanders develop a special self-confidence. That's how they see themselves

not only as Thai, but above all as Chao Samui, the “people of

Samui ". While conflicts on the mainland for decades

break out between the Buddhist and the Muslim Thai, live

the people of Samui therefore peacefully next to and with each other. In Samui

there is a number of Buddhist temples (Wat). The best known is the

gold-plated twelve-meter-high Buddha statue, the "Big Buddha" of Wat Phra

Yai, which was built in 1972 on the small offshore island of Ko Fan opposite the northern beach of Bang Rak.
