Thailand has always been one of the most desirable tourist destinations in the world, and with Bangkok recently overtaking London as the most visited city in the world, the Thai star is still on the rise. Might we suggest you venture out to the island of Koh Samui for your next getaway? You’ll find that this blissful island has more to offer besides white sand beaches — though there are plenty of those too.

Kick your trip off with a laid-back boat trip around beautiful Ang Thong Marine Park, a protected national park dotted with tiny green islands and perfect swimming spots.

Fit in a dose of culture by visiting Wat Phra Yai temple and its striking,12-meter tall golden Buddha statue. If that’s not your speed, you might enjoy a wander around the Secret Buddha Garden, with its dozens of spiritual and worldly statues nestled in a private piece of the forest.

In the evenings, grab drinks or browse trinkets at the Fisherman’s Village night market.

For your Koh Samui home base, choose The Library, a Design Hotels member hotel. Sleek suites and cabins are clustered around the Lib, an airy structure housing 1,400 options for your beach reading. Pick a few; you’ve got plenty of time.

For a limited time, get 30% off your stay of 3 nights or more. We’ll throw in breakfast too. Book directly in the Porter & Sail app to nab this deal. We’ll see you there.
