Chaweng Beach is Koh Samui’s most popular stretch of powdery white sand. The wide bay has a majestic 5-km-long crescent that’s bordered by rocky headlands on either end, with an offshore reef and the tiny island of Koh Matlam to the north.
The beach offers great swimming and plenty of water sports, dining and accommodation options. Chaweng Beach is packed with sun-seekers soaking up the rays in both the summer and winter high seasons. It’s hardly the most secluded or peaceful of Samui’s beaches, but everything one could desire is within a few meters of your sun lounger, making it a great option for lazing away the day in comfort.
5 min. walk
Wat Khao Hua Jook is a century-old Buddhist temple set on a hilltop north of Chaweng. This temple contains, according to the sign, a replica of Buddha’s footprint. Even so, it’s not on any island tour so you’ll have to drive there yourself. On your way, you’ll pass the fabulous Nathalie’s Art Palace.
Wat Khao Hua has a golden chedi (stupa) and a collection of beautiful statues. From the peak of the 90-metre-tall mountain, you’ll have an incredible view from the peak. The entire strip from Samui Airport is virtually at your feet. If you like take-offs and landings, this is the place to sit for a while. The islands Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Koh Sum, Koh Lum Noi, Koh Tao Poon and Koh Fan (where Big Buddha sits), plus Big Buddha, Wat Bang Rak, gorgeous sunsets, and much more are all visible from this vantage point.
