Ko Samui (or Koh Samui, Thai: เกาะสมุย, Thai pronunciation: [kɔ̀ sàmūj]) is an island off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus, Thailand. Geographically in the Chumphon Archipelago, it is administratively part of Surat Thani Province. Ko Samui is Thailand's second-largest island after Phuket, with an area of 228.7 km2, a population of over 63,000 and a hotel occupancy rate of 73% as the number of visitors increases. Abundant tourist resources, sandy beaches, coral reefs, and coconut trees are present on the island.
The island was probably first inhabited about 15 centuries ago, settled by fishermen from the Malay Peninsula and southern China. It appears on Chinese maps dating back to 1687, under the name Pulo Cornam. The name samui is mysterious in itself. Perhaps it is an extension of the name of one of the native trees, mui. Some people believe that the word "samui" derives from the Malay word "saboey", or "safe haven", although there appears to be no credible corroboration of this. Ko is the Thai word for "island".
You see inside
You see inside
You read my mind
You read my mind
You survived a hellish dream
Now the light can mend the seams
But your will wraps tight around
Watch the sky come crashing down
You breathe
Believe
You touch
Won't face I need you so much
Embrace
Encase
I fear
Your love for me is so clear
You survived a hellish dream
Now the light can mend the seams
But your will wraps tight around
Watch the sky come crashing down
I arrived on foreign land
With no one to hold my hand
But my guide came shining through
From the fog alone stood you
A love that's so defined
You'll never wake the newness that can be
A happiness so kind
Mistaken for seductive falsity
You breathe
Believe
You touch
Won't face I need you so much
Embrace
Encase
I fear
Your love for me is so clear
A love that's so defined
You'll never wake the newness that can be
A happiness so kind
Mistaken for seductive falsity
Just knowing that you're mine
Erases all reverse complexity
The emptiness unwinds
An unexpected flexibility
You survived a hellish dream
Now the light can mend the seams
But your will wraps tight around
