I have to guess that Amphoe means island.

Maybe OzeThai can tell us some more about Phuket and Koh Samui.

Maybe Koh is the right word for island and Amphoe something else.
I haven\'t learned Thai.

If Koh is the island, then Amphoe must be the city.
I hope OzeThai can tell us more.

Now we got it --- Amphoe Muang (อำเภอเมือง) is the urban area.

For this reason, I would call \"Amphoe Ko Samui\" 苏梅岛市.
