Koh Samui Kiteboarding Travel Tips

  • The best season for kiteboarding on Koh Samui is between November and March, when the northeast winds dominate.
  • Most kiteboarding schools on Koh Samui are only open from September to March.
  • The spacious lagoon at Hua Thanon (south of popular Lamai beach) is one of the most popular kiteboarding spots on the isle, with shallow waters, few swimmers, and no strong currents.

Beach Overview: Koh Samui, Thailand

The third largest island in Thailand, this tropical dab of heaven is said to be the second-most visited resort area after Phuket. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, it's easily accessible with over 20 daily direct flights from Bangkok, as well as direct flights from Singapore and Hong Kong. There were no roads or cars on Koh Samui until the early 1940s, and what started as a backpacker destination in the late 1970s became a hot spot by the 1990s. Now, despite the luxury resorts and beach parties, it retains the air of wilderness and tranquility that attracted everyone here in the first place, with plenty of wide beaches and some of the best snorkeling and diving in Southeast Asia.
