     As you are in Koh Samui, you should see beyond its beaches toward its legendary cuisine and award-winning restaurants, like Jungle Park. If you are in Koh Samui, but miss its cuisine then you missed a huge dose of the city's culture. Koh Samui is packed with seafood with national dishes like rice noodles in fish curry sauce and chicken birayanithat - all especially spicy, but you will enjoy the flavor of local food.

     If you like dining out at terrace than the most suitable time to visit Koh Samui is from February to June when the area is dominated by dry weather. July usually brings changes to weather in the form of rain and heavy winds.

     Regardless of the weather Koh Samui is open to tourists year round. Even though originally it thrived on fishing and agriculture because of its waterfront location in the Gulf of Thailand, from the 1980s tourism became a preeminent business for the city's economy. Today it stands along with Goa and Bali destinations offering the same comforts for your stay and becomes even more popular than Phuket.
