Circumnavigating the island of Koh Samui by car takes just over an hour, so nothing is very far away. The main ferry port of Nathon, which connects to the Thai mainland, is a 30-minute drive, while the key jumping off point for boat trips and excursions to discover the offshore islands is at Big Buddha, which is a mere 10-minute drive.
