The island of coconuts, Koh Samui, is the third largest island in Thailand and also one of the top destinations in Asia.

Take a short 60 minute plane ride from Bangkok to this beautiful tropical paradise island.

Prana is idyllically located on the tranquil northern coast of the island on Bangrak beach, a two kilometre sandy shoreline fringed by coconut palms.

Bangrak beach is better known as 'Big Buddha Beach' for the very large golden statue of Buddha on a promontery. It is a prominent landmark in the area.

Getting to Samui

Prana is approximately 5kms from Samui International Airport. It is about five minutes drive by car/taxi from the airport. Hotel/Airport transfers to Prana are available upon request. A surcharge applies. Guests staying in our Prana Suite will receive complimentary VIP airport transfer.

From Big Buddha Beach, it is about a 15 minute drive to the bustling, vibrant and action-packed Chaweng Beach.

Taxis are available on the island. Always try to take taxis that have a taxi meter. Make sure you ask the driver to start the meter before you set off. If not, settle on a price before you start.

Climate

Koh Samui has a very pleasant climate all year round with a temperature variation between 25 and 34 degrees Celsius.

The island has three official seasons:
1. Warm and dry season from February till August
2. Rainy season from the end of September till December
3. Cool season from October till January

The average temperature from February till October is between 32 and 38 degrees Celsius. During the months of July till September there are showers that last only a few hours.

Best Time To Visit Koh Samui

The best time would be around January and February, the cool season of the year, when temperatures are around 25 degrees.

March to June are the hottest months, the temperature ranging from 32 to 40 degrees.

The rainy season starts from September and lasts till mid December. These are months where there is rain, although there are still sunny days. Downpours do become more frequent as the year comes to a close.
