The High Ground

Koh Samui,
Seen From Above

Villa Kram occupies the hillside of Plai Laem on Koh Samui's quiet north coast. The Gulf of Thailand fills the entire horizon from every terrace and room. Below, the island lives at its own pace — Fisherman's Village, the night market, the temples — all within ten minutes, and all entirely optional.

Close enough to feel connected. High enough to feel untouched. This is the particular luxury of the north shore — the island within reach, the stillness always yours.
