Ko
Samui Beaches
Chaweng
Beach
Had
(beach
in Thai language) Chaweng is found on the island's East coast and it is
the most popular beach on Ko Samui. Soft sand and shallow water makes
Chaweng
beach perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The 8 kilometer long beach
road
is pretty much covered with cozy restaurants, resorts, hotels and
bars.
Lamai
Beach
Had
Lamai
is situated a few kilometers South of Chaweng and is the second most
popular
destination on Ko Samui. The 6 km long beach has a little grainy sand
and
the deep water is perfect for swimming, especially in the Southern and
middle parts of this beach. Even if the Lamai area is growing, the
relaxed
atmosphere is still dominating.
Ao
Thong Takian
A
small
almost idyllic beach North of Lamai with five small resorts. A lot of
corals
is found on the sea bed (mind cuts) and some days the water is very
clear
and turquoise and then suitable for snorkeling.

Maenam
Maenam
beach is found on the Northern part of the island and one of Samui's
calmer
beaches. Many families chose to rent a bungalow along the 5 km long
beautiful
beach. At low season the beach can be almost "empty of people".
Bo
Phut
A
rather
quiet and calm beach which earlier functioned as a fishing village for
the local fishermen. The traditional house of teak tree can still be
found
in the small village. Even if there is no extensive nightlife found in
Bo Phut, you will still find a number of cozy seafood and fish
restaurants
that work as natural meeting point.
Big
Buddha Beach
Also
a rather quiet beach, next to the large Big Buddha monument/statue. The
white sand and (often) calm water, makes the beach perfect for the
visitor
who are looking for a peaceful environment. Big Buddha is located not
so
far from Chaweng and the airport.
Choeng
Mon
This
beautiful but rather short beach is found in the North-East parts of
the
island. Here you will find mostly three, four and five star resorts. A
perfect place for families and couples who are looking for a pleasant
and
convenient holiday. Choeng Mon beach is also located rather close to
the
airport and Chaweng.
Bang
Por, Lipa Noi, Taling Ngam
Three
quiet and long beaches on the North-West and West coast of Samui. For
people
who prefer a calm, very relaxed vacation. At low season, these beaches
are often almost empty of people, but a some restaurants and resorts
are
to be found here.
