The area and getting around

The heart of Koh Samui

Chaweng is the hub of the island, and your choice if you want to be in the thick of the action. Close to the airport, it is particularly popular among the party set, and offers the biggest variety of restaurants, activities, attractions and shops on the island. Lamai to the east offers a similar range of amenities but on a smaller scale, and is the better option if you are looking for a bargain.

Cheaper areas for the backpacking crowd

Maenam to the west is the favourite for backpackers, with its fair share of rough-and-ready but perfectly authentic restaurants. The north-eastern beach of Big Buddha offers the best of all worlds. It boasts a beautiful beach and is a quiet and relaxing area, whilst putting you within easy reach of the nightlife of Chaweng Beach and the unique shopping options of Fisherman’s Village.

Before the tourist era, Koh Samui relied on its coconut plantations, which is why it was then given the nickname “island of coconuts and monkeys”.
