==Administration== Ko Samui is an [[amphoe]] (district) of [[Surat Thani Province]], divided into seven sub-districts (''[[tambon]]s'') and 39 administrative villages (''[[muban]]s''). The entire island is one city municipality (''[[thesaban nakhon]]''). The district covers the island, as well as the [[Ko Phaluai|Ang Thong archipelago]] and some other small islands nearby.
