Thailand Koh Samui

Former laid-back haunt of backpackers now vying with Phuket for variety and style of hotels and spas as well as activities including golf, sailing, biking and bungee jumping. Chaweng and Lamai have the best beaches but tend to be crowded.

Worth considering for its alternate monsoon season to Phuket, meaning it can often be sunnier during European summer months so ideal if planning a summer wedding and honeymoon.
