is full with coconut trees.
Before tourism arrived to the
island, coconuts were the main
industry here. Monkeys,
considered as man's best friend,
these industrious little animals
are greatly prized and give a
demonstration of their
incredible dexterity (and not
just at picking coconuts) in the
outdoor theatre. The
entertainment also includes
performing elephants. The
theatre,where the show is on the
main road behind Bophut Village. |

 Elephant
Safari
Several companies around
the island run elephant
ride operations and many
can be booked through
travel agents, often in
combination with all day
tours of the interior.
Over fifty elephants
call Samui home and all
work in the tourist
industry. A typical
'trek' lasts between 15
minutes and half an hour
and is an excellent way
to see the island's
jungle clad interior.
Some companies take
visitors up into the
hills for magnificent
views over the island,
others go through
waterfalls, where riders
run the risk of
receiving a cooling
shower… |
