Car rental in Ko Samui

Ko Samui, Thailand's second-largest island, is nestled in the shimmering Gulf of Thailand Surat Thani Province. Known for its palm-fringed beaches, luxurious resorts, and vibrant nightlife, it's truly a perfect getaway for every traveler.

Driving around Ko Samui

• Car class recommendations: While compact cars are ideal for navigating the inner city roads, an SUV would be more suitable if you plan exploring beyond the town areas due to the terrain.
• Speed limits: In built-up areas, the speed limit is typically 50 km/h. On highways, the limit rises to 90 km/h.
• Traffic rules: Thailand drives on the left side of the road. Seatbelts are mandatory.
• Parking: Most hotels, resorts, and many top attractions offer parking spaces. Street parking is also available.
