Live Webcams in Koh Samui

Koh Samui, Thailand's second-largest island, is a Gulf of Thailand resort that still looks like a coconut plantation from the air, and the live webcams in Koh Samui look out from exactly where visitors stand: beach bars on the east-coast bays, a night-market street once the lanterns come on, the sand at Chaweng and Lamai, and the water itself, which turns from turquoise to gold as the sun drops. Samui runs on Indochina time, UTC+7 — sunset falls around 18:30 all year, so late morning in Europe is the moment to catch it. The island is 25 kilometres across, ringed by a single road, and dry from February to August; the heaviest rain comes in October and November, when the same nine webcams show the monsoon rolling in off the gulf instead.
