Title
Tourism Association of Koh Samui - Thailand
Description
The Tourism Association of Koh Samui is a not-for-profit organization, numbering over 150 members, including hotels and resorts, restaurants, travel professionals, and retail establishments. It was formed in 1987 for the purpose of promoting Koh Samui as a travel destination.
The pace of the island's development has increased in recent years, and so has the importance of protecting our most precious resources, the natural beauty and the unique character of the island. Within this website, created in early 2000, we hope to anticipate every question you might possibly ask about Koh Samui prior to coming, and to keep you aware of our ongoing efforts to ensure that our island remains one of the world's great tropical holiday destinations.
Khun Ruengnam Chaikwang is president of the Tourism Association of Koh Samui. Known to his friends as "Bpeh", he was born and grew up here. His family sent him to the mainland at 16 for his education, where he studied in Bangkok and Chiangmai. A civil engineer by training, in 1985 Bpeh went to the United States where he was employed by the Ohio State Department of Transportation for 4 years as a project engineer in survey and subdivision design. Shortly after his return to Samui in 1989, he found himself standing near one of the viewpoints pictured in this website, and as he looked around him, he had a new and profound sense of the extraordinary beauty of the home he had come back to. He was been working at the local, regional and national level for the benefit of the island ever since, in close cooperation with the Tourism Authority of Thailand and other hotel and tourism organizations.
