Koh Samui has a beach for every kind of traveller. Chaweng is best for nightlife and activities, while Lamai offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Silver Beach is a small bay with clear water, and Choeng Mon is great for swimming. For a quieter escape, head to Bophut, Maenam or the west coast. December to April is generally a good time to visit, while October and November bring more rain and rougher sea conditions.

De stranden van Koh Samui lopen van het drukke Chaweng tot rustige baaien aan de noord- en westkust. Aan de oostkust, zoals Chaweng en Lamai, kan de zee in oktober en november ruw zijn en valt er veel regen; de westkust is de plek voor de zonsondergang.

1. Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui
Schuimkanonnen en strandbar gevechten
Nam: The most popular beach on Koh Samui, stretching for around 7 km along the east coast. Expect white sand, plenty of beachfront restaurants, hotels, water activities and lively nightlife. Visit early in the morning for a quieter experience.
Hoogtepunt
Barploegen maken van Chaweng Beach Road een lange waterbaan. Je ziet schuimkanonnen buiten clubs, vulstations bij mini-marts, en ophaalteams met vaten en emmers. DJs draaien bij het Green Mango-gebied, en strandbars creëren spetterlijnen langs het zand. De sfeer mengt feest- en poolenergie, zodat je 's ochtends kunt zwemmen en vervolgens vanaf 's middags de straat op kunt. Taxi's en fietstaxi's ontwijken de natte zones, dus loop over de centrale strook en gebruik zijstraten wanneer je een pauze nodig hebt. Veel hotels liggen dicht bij de actie, wat het gemakkelijk maakt om je spullen en douches te resetten. Voor groepen die willen genieten van een grote onderdompeling zonder totale chaos, is Chaweng de perfecte plek.

Nam: A small, picturesque bay tucked between Chaweng and Lamai. Its soft sand, granite boulders and clear water make it a popular spot for swimming and snorkelling. It can get crowded due to its small size, so arrive early for the best experience.

Mae Nam, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani
Nam: A long, quiet beach on Koh Samui's west coast and one of the island's best places to watch the sunset. The water stays shallow far from the shore, which suits families with young children, but at low tide the sea pulls back a long way, so check the tide before you swim.
