Although the steep terrain of Koh Samui has beautiful beaches, the island’s central water storage capacity is weak due to high mountains, which makes the local water source insufficient.

The location of the hotel
The thirty-three four- and five-star accommodation hotels mentioned above are organized and marked on the Google map of each hotel location. They are mainly located in the beach areas of the east and north coasts, which are relatively close to the airport and the downtown area. Only if there is a hotel /Tourist pick-ups or other means of transportation, the transportation of the entire Koh Samui is a major roundabout road, so the impact is actually not big, for your reference.
