)
is a civilised beach-resort island for the vaca-
tioning masses, many of whom fly in and out having made hardly any contact with the
local culture. Reserve a resort, then let them do the thinking for you. If this sounds boring,
there are still sleepy spits to the south and west, reminiscent of Samui's old moniker, 'Co-
conut Island', that are easy to get to. Explore the thriving health scene with yoga, medita-
tion and detox retreats to enhance your relaxation.
