Some
History of
Koh Samui
!
|
|
The island was probably first inhabited about 15
centuries ago, settled by fishermen from Malaysia and Southern China.
It appears on Ming Dynasty 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, or it is a
corruption of the Chinese word Saboey, meaning "safe haven".
Until the late 20th century, Samui was an
isolated self-sufficient community, having little connection with the
mainland of Thailand. The island was even without roads until the
early 1970s, and the 15km journey from one side of the island to the
other involved a whole-day trek through the mountainous central
jungles.
|
 |
Today, Samui has a population of about
forty-five thousand, and lives on a successful tourist industry, as
well as exports of coconut and rubber. It even has its own
international airport, with flights daily to Bangkok and other major
airports in Southeast Asia. It has not forgotten its roots, however,
and the people are still by-and-large the same easygoing island folk
they were before the world landed on their doorstep. |
