Top Ko Samui Experiences

Which beach is best?

Are you searching for a tranquil piece of paradise or somewhere close to the island's clubs, restaurants and nightlife? Opting for one or the other is the best way to choose a Ko Samui beach resort. For example, Chaweng on the eastern coast is the hub of the action, with safe lagoon swimming and plenty of things to do away from the shore. For a real island escape, try the long, tranquil strectch of Mae Nam or Bophut with its quaint Fisherman's Village. For somewhere in between, Lamai, just a few bays away from Chaweng, is very popular but not quite as busy as its neighbour. Choeng Mon is in a secluded part of the island and offers a good range of water sports, while Laem Set in the south has shallow water, some fascinating rock formations and is near wildlife attractions.
