Koh Samui is a beautiful and exotic holiday spot that has oodles of fun and adventure to offer. The beautiful beaches, scenery, friendly and vibrant culture as well as the delectable cuisine are just a few reasons as to why this place should be on anybody’s bucket list. The fact that so many tourists visit the location has resulted in the establishment of many a luxury resort in Koh Samui such as, among many others, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort, alongside many entertainment, shopping and dining venues.
Chongmoen Beach is positioned at the most northeastern end of Koh Samui Island. The location has so many tiny pathways and massive rock formations that the sleepy town feels like it stepped straight out of a fairytale. As for the beach itself, the surf breaks are considered some of the best in the area, and the fact that the simple lifestyle of the locals is easily witnessed anywhere you go, adds to the timeless charm of this locality. The Big Buddha, which is a famous local attraction, is in close proximity to the beach as well.
The Lamai beach is a peaceful and clean stretch of sand ending in clear blue waters which are so calm that they are ideal for enjoying a relaxing swim in. Lamai village is quite an interesting place to explore as well, once you manage to escape the lure of the stunning beach. The beach is extremely popular with travellers who just kick back and relax on the shores while enjoying a delicious bite to eat or sip away at a drink.
The Thongtakian beach takes the prize for being probably the most scenic and secluded beach between the areas of Lamai and Chaweng. The waters are transparent in the most gorgeous shade of turquoise while the shallow nature of the beach means that it is excellent for snorkelling activities. The rocks that are located a little bit off the coast are ideal as a vantage point for enjoying the surrounding scenery.
