During the tourist boom, the colorful and extremely diverse island of Koh Samui, with its snow-white beaches and bright coral reefs, simply could not remain deprived of the attention of tourists. This is the largest island of the Champon archipelago, which has become a kind of magnet for travelers from all over the world. What is his calling card?
