Beaches on Koh Samui – Overview
Koh Samui offers numerous beautiful beaches for every taste and budget.
You will find beaches for relaxing and partying, beaches for package holidaymakers and families, beaches or beach areas for backpackers, and luxury beaches with high-priced resorts.
Most of Koh Samui’s beaches are light sandy and lined with coconut palms.
Some are miles long and powdery soft, others shorter and coarser, and others are embedded in picturesque rocky landscapes.
There are more than 20 beaches on Koh Samui of different types, lengths, and characteristics.
The longest and most famous are the so-called “big four”: Maenam Beach, Chaweng Beach, Lamai Beach, and Bophut Beach.
In our opinion, the most beautiful beaches on Koh Samui are these six beaches:
- Silver Beach (Thong Takian Beach)
- Maenam Beach
- Chaweng Yai Beach
- Choeng Mon Beach
- Coral Cove Beach
- Lipa Noi Beach
Below, you will find all the essential information about Koh Samui’s 6 top beaches and 16 other well-known and lesser-known island beaches.
1. Maenam Beach
Maenam Beach, lined with palm trees, is one of the most beautiful beaches on Koh Samui.
The five-kilometer-long beach is located in the north of the island. It has light sand and is perfect for swimming, relaxing, and long walks.
Even at low tide, the bathtub-warm water is still deep enough to swim at the front of the beach.
Maenam Beach is the quietest of the four large and famous beaches on Koh Samui.
The resorts and bungalow complexes are not as close together as on Chaweng, Lamai, and Bophut Beach, and there is neither party hustle and bustle nor the noise of longtail boats.
Apart from the engine noise of the jet skis rushing past now and then, nothing disturbs the peace on Maenam Beach.
Maenam Beach offers all kinds of tourist infrastructure, such as hotels, restaurants, and beach bars.
The nearby ring road, which also has numerous restaurants, food stalls, shops, and supermarkets, means that Maenam Beach is well connected to the rest of the island.
By Songthaew (shared taxi), you can reach the island’s capital, Nathon, in around 20 minutes and Chaweng, Koh Samui’s tourist center, in just over 30 minutes.
You can get there faster by moped or taxi in some places.
The village of Maenam (Baan Maenam), with its wooden houses, some of which are 80 years old, is located roughly in the middle of the beach.
Maenam Beach is widest near the village and west towards Pralarn Pier, where the ferries to the neighboring islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao depart.
The section of beach near the Maenam and Santiburi Resorts, which is densely covered with coconut palms, is trendy.
A particular highlight every Thursday is the “Maenam Walking Street” in Baan Maenam.
In the early afternoon, the stalls for the night market are set up in the village, and the streets fill up as the sun sets.
As usual at Thai night markets, frying, grilling, and cooking occur every few meters on the “Maenam Walking Street.”
In addition to food stalls selling fish and meat satays, roasted duck, and tempura, there are also numerous stalls selling handicrafts, knickknacks, and clothing.
Cocktails such as Mai Tai, Piña Colada, or Mojito are sold on the “Maenam Walking Street” for a reasonable 100 to 150 Baht (2.70 to 4 euros).
Dance and music performances sometimes take place in front of the Chinese temple.
It is an excellent and atmospheric little night market worth visiting.
2. Bophut Beach
Like Maenam Beach, Bophut Beach is located north of Koh Samui and is around two kilometers long.
The beach has slightly coarser sand and slopes gently, making it ideal for children to swim and splash around.
At low tide, depending on the time of year, Bophut Beach is only suitable for swimming in certain areas, as the water can retreat a long way.
However, swimming is not the main thing at Bophut Beach. It is mainly about eating.
Over the last decade, Bophut Beach has become Koh Samui’s gourmet beach.
The attractions are the numerous seafood restaurants, some elegant and tastefully decorated.
All restaurants in Bophut, such as “Yin Yang” or “Starfish and Coffee,” offer discounted seafood menus for two people.
We paid 1200 Baht (approx. 30 euros) per person for a seafood barbecue with two lobsters, six tiger prawns, two blue crab and mussel dishes, a red snapper, baked potatoes, and grilled corn.
Since similar things are hard to find anywhere else on Koh Samui at this price and in this quality, tourists from other parts of the island also travel there in the evening to feast their way through the restaurants in the “Fisherman’s Village,” as Baan Bophut is also called.
At the village entrance and on the village street that runs parallel to the beach, you will find seafood restaurants, Thai and steak restaurants, and restaurants serving Indian, Chinese, and Italian cuisine.
Fridays are the busiest days in Bophut. The stalls for the night market (“Bophut Walking Street”) are set up all over the village in the early afternoon.
The village gets full around 7 p.m. Then people eat their way from food stall to food stall, snack on satay skewers or tempura, bite into a crispy fried chicken leg, or enjoy a pancake with coconut flakes or Nutella and banana.
In between, you can sip a mojito or a margarita at one of the cocktail stalls and shop for a T-shirt, a batik scarf, or one or two souvenirs at one of the stalls.
3. Chaweng Beach
Chaweng Beach, east of Koh Samui, can be roughly divided into two sections: the approximately 4.5-kilometer-long Chaweng Yai Beach (Big Chaweng Beach) and the approximately one-kilometer-long Chaweng Noi Beach (Small Chaweng Beach) to the south.
A headland separates both beaches, which differ not only in length but also in other respects.
4. Chaweng Yai Beach
People talking about “Chaweng” usually mean the large Chaweng Beach. Chaweng is the tourist center of Koh Samui and is one big entertainment and party mile.
In addition to partygoers, couples, and singles, many families with children also vacation on Chaweng Yai Beach.
Chaweng Yai Beach, which is up to 60 metres wide in places, is one of the most beautiful beaches on Koh Samui.
With its white, powdery sand, the water temperature is a pleasant 25 to 28 degrees all year round.
Jet skis, water skis, sailing boats, and motor boats can be rented in many places on Chaweng Beach.
If you are looking for hustle and bustle and nightlife, you will definitely feel at home on Chaweng Yai Beach.
There are numerous resorts, bars, and restaurants in Chaweng and on the beach. Despite the many (package) holidaymakers, the atmosphere on Chaweng Beach is consistently relaxed.
Street vendors sell jewelry, T-shirts, fruit, and grilled corn on the cob, and tourists sip their cocktails in the beach bars.
From late afternoon, when it cools down a bit, Chaweng becomes one extensive promenade.
On Beach Road and its side streets, there are countless bars and restaurants, branches of fast food chains, supermarkets, shops, opticians, tailors, and street stalls with cheap sunglasses, T-shirts, and knickknacks.
Unfortunately, Chaweng, with its red-light districts, is also a magnet for numerous sex tourists.
Partygoers in Chaweng get their money’s worth at the beach parties held twice weekly at the “ARK Bar.”
Something is also always going on at the ARK Bar Beach Resort. Other popular party locations in Chaweng are the “Green Mango Club” in Soi Green Mango and the nearby “Sound Club.”
In the “Sound Club,” you can party hard every day from 11 p.m.
5. Chaweng Noi Beach
The neighboring beach, Chaweng Noi, is a little quieter than Chaweng Yai Beach.
The approximately one-kilometer-long beach is located south of Chaweng Yai and is only separated from its big brother by a headland.
Chaweng Noi Beach is in a curved bay with slightly coarser sand than the neighboring beach.
Chaweng Noi slopes gently and is also ideal for a family vacation with children like Chaweng Yai Beach.
While things are relatively quiet at both ends of Chaweng Noi beach, the central part is a party place.
Until 7 p.m., the techno bass in the “Beach Bar Samui” booms at a somewhat bearable volume, but the music is turned up much louder later in the evening.
During the day, you can chill on mats in the sand in the “Beach Bar Samui” and enjoy an ice-cold Chang or Singha beer, a delicious coconut shake, or a cocktail. In the evening, the party starts.
Public access to the beach is right next to the “Beach Bar Samui” and the Sheraton Samui Resort, which is just a few meters further north.
Otherwise, to get to Chaweng Noi Beach, you usually have to go through one of the local resorts. But that’s not a problem.
You can reach Chaweng Noi via the ring road parallel to the beach. Between Chaweng Yai, Chaweng Noi, and Lamai Beach, further south, the ring road is steep and winding.
If traveling by moped, you should be careful and concentrate on driving here.
6. Lamai Beach
Lamai Beach is also located on the east coast of Koh Samui, about five kilometers south of Chaweng Yai.
It is about three kilometers long and, at low tide, 20 to 40 meters wide at its widest point. The sand is slightly yellowish and coarse-grained.
The southern part of Lamai Beach, near the village of Lamai, is primarily home to the larger resorts for package tourists.
More spartan accommodations for price-conscious individual tourists and backpackers dominate the northern, quieter part.
A real highlight on the beach is the brightly painted New Hut Bungalows, which are hardly more significant than a tent and look like one.
The busier southern part of the beach near Baan Lamai is generally better maintained and offers various water sports such as sailing, parasailing, and jet skiing. 15 minutes of jet skiing on Lamai Beach costs 1000 Baht (approx. 26 euros).
At low tide, swimming is only possible in the southern part of the beach. In the north, from about the height of Sand Sea Resort & Spa, parts of the reef and rocks protrude from the water at low tide. Algae are also increasingly washed up here.
Rocks border the Lamai stream to the south and north. The rocky plateau with the famous Grandmother and Grandfather rocks is in the extreme south of Lamai.
However, the beach’s northern end widens to form a large sandbank before the stones. This is where Lamai’s fishing port is located.
The sandbank looks like an island at high tide and can only be reached on dry feet via a wooden bridge.
The village (Baan) Lamai, with numerous shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and, unfortunately, red-light districts, stretches parallel to the beach’s southern end.
The busy ring road above the village has more shops and restaurants.
7. Choeng Mon Beach
Choeng Mon Beach is particularly impressive due to its powdery, soft white sand and is, therefore, one of the most beautiful beaches on Koh Samui.
The beach is around one kilometer long, slopes gently, and is located in a curved bay in the extreme northeast of Koh Samui.
The entire bay is lined with coconut palms and casuarina trees – and is relatively densely built up with a good handful of beach resorts and about as many restaurants.
Nevertheless, Choeng Mon Beach offers enough space for everyone and is an excellent alternative to the large, more popular beaches in the north and east of Koh Samui (see above).
Despite the secluded location on the northeastern tip of Koh Samui, you don’t have to go without infrastructure at Choeng Mon Beach.
Numerous restaurants, food stalls, and shops are on the road above the beach. If that’s not enough for you and you want to party, you only need to drive a few minutes south.
The tourist hotspot of Chaweng, with all kinds of restaurants, bars, shops, and clubs, is just four kilometers from Choeng Mon Beach.
8. Big Buddha Beach (Bangrak Beach)
Big Buddha Beach is named after Koh Samui’s landmark, the twelve-meter-high, golden Big Buddha at the eastern end of the vast, curved bay.
The two-kilometer-long Big Buddha Beach is also called Bangrak Beach because of the Bangrak Pier, which is also located in the bay.
The beach, which is densely built up with resorts and restaurants and is only one meter wide in places, is not particularly suitable for a long beach holiday.
This is especially true as algae and seaweed wash up on the largely fine sandy beach in many places.
There is also a lot of ferry and speedboat traffic around Bangrak Pier (a collection of around five boat docks).
It is only quieter some distance from the pier at the western end of Big Buddha Beach.
Since Big Buddha Beach is only a five-minute drive from the airport and ferries to the neighboring islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, which leave from Bangrak Pier, the beach is ideal for a short stopover.
For example, it is perfect for tourists who land on Koh Samui by plane in the late afternoon or evening and have missed the last ferry to Koh Phangan or Koh Tao.
8. Silver Beach (Thong Takian Beach)
When you look down onto Silver Beach from the terrace of the Crystal Bay Resort, your heart will always melt. The 200-meter-long, bright, fine beach is in a beautiful rocky bay with shallow, crystal-clear water.
To be happy here, you hardly need more than a towel and swimming trunks or a bikini. Silver Beach is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful beaches on Koh Samui.
The beach, lined with coconut palms and trees, slopes gently. Several picturesque rocky plateaus in the turquoise water invite you to sunbathe.
There isn’t much to do at Silver Beach: swim, relax on the beach, snorkel, sail through the bay in a kayak or stand-up paddle board, enjoy a cool drink in one of the beach bars, and get a massage now and again.
The atmosphere at Silver Beach is highly relaxed. Younger people and individual tourists mainly use the few relatively simple resorts.
Since Silver Beach has become known as a dream beach, many day trippers also come here. It only empties towards the evening. Then, the community is alone again and enjoys peace.
Resorts and bungalow complexes on Silver Beach:
- Crystal Bay Resort
- Promtsuk Buri
- Crystal Bay Yacht Club Beach Resort
- Silver Beach Resort
9. Coral Cove Beach
“Same same but different” – this Thai-English expression probably sums it up best when comparing Silver Beach (see above) with Coral Cove Beach, which is only a five-minute drive away.
At first glance, both beaches, which I consider among the six most beautiful beaches on Koh Samui, are very similar.
Both Silver Beach and Coral Cove Beach are located in a small rocky bay covered with coconut palms and trees.
They slope gently and have shallow, crystal-clear water. In contrast to Silver Beach, however, Coral Cove Beach, which is only 150 meters long, has somewhat coarser sand.
Coral debris is also lying around here and there.
The Coral Cove Chalet, located on the cliffs at the beach’s southern end, is recommended as accommodation.
Tip: If you want to swim a little further away from Coral Cove Beach or chill out on your towel, you should walk around the rocks at one of the two ends of the beach.
There are other small stretches of beach behind them.
10. Bang Po Beach – beach section of the “Four Seasons Resort”
The entrance to the Four Seasons Resort is located on the highest point of a wooded hill near Bang Po in the north of Koh Samui, about three minutes by car from the ring road.
The extensive hotel complex with luxury villas, jungle flair, and a dream view of the bay stretches over two slopes down to a private palm beach.
Guests can get there with the hotel’s golf carts, which can be ordered at the touch of a button via an app.
The path to the fine, well-kept, approximately 100-meter-long sandy beach leads steeply downhill and right through the hotel complex.
Once you get down there, you can make yourself comfortable on one of the cozy beach loungers under green parasols, enjoy the view of the bay, sit in the beach restaurant and eat a fancy meal, or play billiards or PlayStation in the entertainment room.
The beach is located in a picturesque rocky bay covered with coconut palms and trees.
It is divided by rocks into two sections: a larger section where the beach chairs and the restaurant are located and a smaller section that is used for exclusive hotel dinners.
The Four Seasons Resort is one of the most beautiful luxury hotels on Koh Samui, not least because of its great location on the hillside, unique view, and really beautiful villas with private infinity pools.
It is perfect for honeymooners and anyone who wants to treat themselves to something really good—provided they have the necessary “change.”
11. Samrong Beach – beach section of the “Six Senses Samui Resort”
The approximately 200-meter-long Samrong Beach is located at the northernmost tip of Koh Samui.
Most of the beach is privately owned and belongs to the noble Six Senses Samui Resort, built on a hill at the beach’s northern end.
The beautiful pool villas, built with natural materials, offer a fantastic view of the bay, which is densely covered with coconut palms and trees.
The hotel beach at the foot of the hill is slightly coarse and rocky at the end.
Six Senses Samui guests can make themselves comfortable on one of the well-padded beach loungers under large, white parasols and enjoy the view of the sea.
The hotel’s beach bar with a beautiful wooden terrace is beside it.
What is a bit annoying about Samrong Beach is the hill at the opposite southern end of the beach that is entirely built up with apartment buildings (see photo above).
Tip: One of the highlights at the Six Senses Samui Resort is the “Dining on the Rocks” restaurant above Samrong Bay.
The gourmet temple is one of the most expensive restaurants in Koh Samui, if not all of Thailand, and offers a breathtaking view of the bay and the sea from several interlocking wooden terraces.
The “Dining on the Rocks” serves so-called “farm-to-table” cuisine. It offers a choice of sophisticated three- to ten-course menus and exquisite wines.
However, a two-person dinner can quickly add up to several hundred euros. You don’t necessarily have to be a hotel guest to enjoy this expensive treat.
Tables can be reserved via the Six Senses Samui website.
Guests from outside are met at the hotel reception and driven through the hotel grounds to the restaurant in a buggy (golf cart)
12. Tongsai Beach – beach section of the “Tongsai Bay Resort”
The approximately 150-meter-long beach section of the Tongsai Bay Resort is located at the northern end of Tongsai Bay.
Here, you can lie on softly padded hotel loungers under rust-red parasols and look out over the expansive rocky bay with its wooded hills and slightly coarse sandy beach.
The terraces of the beachfront suites in a two-story building at the back of the beach offer an even better view.
The focal point on the hotel beach is the Tongsai Bay Resort’s Beach Bar, where you can enjoy an aperitif at the bar before lunch and then have lunch at a table on the large wooden terrace on the beach.
Like Samrong Beach (see above), Tonsai Bay is located on the quiet northern tip of Koh Samui.
If you want some variety, you can get to Choeng Mon Beach in five minutes by taxi and to Chaweng in less than a quarter of an hour.
13. Yai Noi Beach – beach section of the “Anantara Lawana Beach Resort”
Few people know there is another beach between Choeng Mon and Chaweng Beach.
Yai Noi Beach can only be reached via the two local luxury resorts, the Anantara Lawana Beach Resort and the Anantara Lawana Beach Resort.
It is around one kilometre long and stretches to the south to a flat, pointed headland.
The beach of the Anantara Lawana Beach Resort is located in the southern part of Yai Noi Bay and is almost 400 meters long.
The sand is coarse-grained and rocky, and the water is very shallow at low tide. You can’t swim here because parts of the reef protrude from the water about 30 meters from the beach and form a kind of belt.
The belt protects the beach from too high waves, which is why there is also a small fishing port in the sheltered bay.
The longtail boats gently rocking in the water look incredibly picturesque, especially in the late afternoon when the sun bathes the bay in a yellowish light.
The extensive hotel complex of the Anantara Lawana Beach Resort, with tastefully furnished suites and pool villas, stretches down the hill to the beach.
The sunbathing areas around the infinity pool are arranged in terraces and are perfect for sunbathing and relaxing.
If you want to distance yourself from your neighbors, you can lie under one of the canopies and let the curtains down instead of on a lounger.
Or you can walk a few meters down to the beach and spread your towel on one of the hotel loungers.
In the evening, you can either dine in the hotel restaurant or take a ten-minute walk to Chaweng and dine in one of the restaurants there.
14. Natien Beach (Na Thian Beach) – beach section of the “Centara Villas Samui”
Natien Beach is located in the remote south of Koh Samui and less than 200 meters from the Samui Butterfly Garden.
While you can watch butterflies on a hill up the road, you can relax at the beach bar of the Centara Villas Samui down at Natien Beach, sunbathe on one of the hotel loungers under coconut palms, and jump into the shallow sea from time to time.
At low tide, however, you should be careful when entering the water at Natien Beach. Reef parts protrude from the water about 30 meters from the beach.
The small rocky bay with the slightly coarse-grained Natien Beach, just 70 meters long, is entirely secluded.
Here, guests of the Centara Villas Samui are primarily on their own. And after just two or three days, you know everyone here and feel at home.
In the late afternoon, Natien Beach is particularly pretty. The sun bathes the beach with its large boulders, almost rounded by wind and water, in yellow light, and the shadow gradually spreads over the pretty white hotel villas.
If you stay at the Centara Villas Samui on Natien Beach, you should know that it is challenging to get away from there due to the remote location.
The hotel offers a shuttle service to Chaweng and Lamai, but you depend on time. Alternatively, you can, of course, order a taxi.
15. Laem Set Beach – beach section of the “ShaSa Resorts & Residences”
First, the 70—to 80-meter-long, mostly rocky private beach of the Shasa Resort & Residences in Laem Set is not suitable for swimming due to low tide but is best suited for kayaking. A little further out in the bay, you can also snorkel.
Those staying at the ShaSa Resort will still get their money’s worth—at least when it comes to swimming.
The huge infinity pools on the hillside offer a dream view of Laem Set Bay.
Like Natien Beach (see above), the neighboring bay of Laem Set is located in the far, remote south of Koh Samui.
Those who vacation here love the peace and seclusion and, above all, the breathtaking sea view.
The ShaSa Resorts & Residences is built on the hillside and offers spacious suites with large, glass-enclosed terraces and fantastic sea views.
16. Lipa Noi Beach
The one-kilometer-long Lipa Noi Beach, partly lined with coconut palms, is one of the most beautiful beaches on the west coast of Koh Samui.
The beach has light sand, is perfect for swimming, and offers something that most other beaches on Koh Samui cannot due to their location: fantastic sunsets.
There are about a dozen resorts and bungalow complexes on Lipa Noi Beach, most of which are simple to upper-middle class.
One exception is the luxurious Nikki Beach Resort & Spa on the northern part of the beach.
Like other Nikki Beach Clubs worldwide (e.g., on Mallorca, Saint Tropez, or Miami Beach), the DJs here provide loud entertainment. Even in the morning, you can hear the bass booming from the pool area behind the stone wall on Lipa Noi Beach.
If you like to party, you can mingle with the rich people even if you are not a hotel guest and party at the Nikki Beach Club. If you prefer peace, you should avoid the resort.
Good resorts on Lipa Noi Beach include the Kanok Buri Resort & Spa, the Samui House, and the Lipa Lodge Beach Resort.
17. Thongson Beach
Only a palm tree and a wall separate Thongsonbay Bungalows from the posh Melati Beach Resort & Spa on Thongson Beach.
Apart from the two resorts, sand and sea, nothing is on the approximately 250-meter-long Thongson Beach in the far north of Koh Samui.
If you want peace, relaxation, and seclusion, the small rocky bay with comparatively fine sand is the right place.
While the wooded cliff at the northern end of Thongson Beach is densely built up with villas and apartment buildings in places, there are only a few bungalows at the southern end of the beach.
You can access Thongson Beach through one of the resorts. The parking lot of the Thongsonbay Bungalows is only available to resort guests.
Bringing food and drinks from outside onto the beach is prohibited.
18. Baan Tai Beach
Baan Tai Beach is located north of Koh Samui, about four kilometers west of Maenam (see above).
The access road to Baan Tai Beach branches off to the right of the ring road about one kilometer behind the Maenam pier (look for the signs for the Mimosa Resort and Koh Samui Resort) and leads directly to the beach via a sandy track.
Baan Tai Beach is 700 meters long, lined with coconut palms, and has only a few resorts. It is mainly popular with individual tourists and backpackers.
The beach’s main attractions are its relatively secluded location and quiet, relaxed atmosphere.
The La Perle Luxury Boutique Hotel and the Hanalei Gardens are two of the most popular resorts on Baan Tai Beach.
19. Taling Ngam Beach
Unfortunately, the public section of Taling Ngam Beach looks anything but inviting.
Around the fishing village of the same name, carelessly disposed (plastic) garbage lies on the beach, and bags and other garbage float in the water around the sandbank with the fishing boats.
It’s a shame because the approximately 400-meter-long, curved bay with coconut palms and its narrow, coarse-grained sandy beach is idyllically located in the quiet, secluded southwest of Koh Samui.
Further south, the fishing village of Taling Ngam stretches a little way up the road. The village, which mainly comprises Chinese people, is still very original and consists only of a few fishing huts and stalls.
Popular resorts (middle class and upper middle class) on Taling Ngam Beach include the Am Samui Resort and the Sibaja Palms Sunset Beach Luxury Apartments.
You can stay well and inexpensively at the I-Talay Beach Bar & Cottages Taling Ngam Samui.
20. Pang ka Beach
Pang Ka Beach is a natural, coarse-grained beach and, therefore, anything but a dream beach.
However, the secluded Pang Ka Beach in the extreme southwest of Koh Samui scores with absolute peace and quiet. Unfortunately, the beach is littered in places.
There are only two resorts on Pang Ka Beach: the Sunset Coast Samui Resort & Villas, managed by AVANI with exclusive pool villas, and the Phangka Paradise Resort in the north of the bay with more spartan stone bungalows.
21. Laem Sor Beach
Most tourists on Koh Samui come to Laem Sor Beach because of the golden pagoda. It stands on a concrete square on the beach and is part of a temple complex.
Around the pagoda, Laem Sor Beach in the far south of Koh Samui is anything but beautiful. The beach is very coarse and rocky in places.
The much more beautiful part of Laem Sor Beach is on the other side of the cliff towards Laem Set.
Here, you can rent one of the noble villa complexes and enjoy an undisturbed beach holiday in complete seclusion and with every comfort.
The most beautiful villa complexes on Laem Sor Beach include the Villa SeaNest Samui, the Ban Mekkala, and the Villa Thansamaay.
22. Thong Krut Beach
First of all, Thong Krut is not a beach where you go on holiday. There are no resorts or bungalow complexes here.
However, Thong Krut is a worthwhile destination in the remote south of Koh Samui.
At Thong Krut Beach, you can charter a fishing boat and go on a snorkeling tour of Koh Taen (Koh Tan) and Koh Mat Sum (Koh Mat Sum) offshore islands.
If you are in Thong Krut and love freshly caught fish and delicious seafood, you should visit one of the seafood restaurants run by the local fishermen.
The red snapper, seabream, and especially the blue crabs in pepper sauce are simply delicious.
The atmosphere on Thong Krut Beach is lovely in the late afternoon when the sun bathes the bay lined with coconut palms in a yellowish light, and the fishermen’s longtail boats rock peacefully in the sea.
Tip: My favorite restaurant in Thong Krut is the Krao Jumpow Restaurant, which has a large wooden terrace and tables on the beach.
