Samui exists in the graph partly as a weather alternative to Phuket and Krabi.
Entities
Koh Samui
Comfort-first Gulf island base with airport access, resort depth, and a practical pivot away from Andaman weather.
Published planning state
This page keeps identity, related pages, source notes, and practical checks together for this place or transport node.
Samui is strongest when the trip needs soft landings, easy resort comfort, and enough services behind the beach.
Flights help, but island chains, ferries, and last-boat risk still matter when the trip expands beyond Samui.
