SURAT THANI, Thailand, 16 February 2021: Surat Thani is home to a myriad of magical islands or 108 to be exact, and that gives it a spot in the record book as the single Thai province with the most islands on the Gulf of Thailand.
Thailand’s Department of Marine and Coastal Resources counts the islands as part of its surveys and on-going measures to protect the marine environment. Surat Thani’s famed island trio Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan, and Koh Tao are top-draw attractions. They happen to be the three biggest islands, not only in size but also for their net tourism worth in dollars earned for the local economy.
