Just south of Chaweng Beach are the playful waters of Lamai Beach, virtually a surfers’ paradise, while Hin Ta Hin Yai’s unusual rock formations are Saui’s most photographed features. For those who want to get away form it all, there are Maenam, Bophut, BangRak and other beaches on the north coast, as well as beaches on the south and the west, including the renowned Taling Ngam. Lamai is Samui’s second largest beach. The waters are calmer and the coast is marked by granite boulders the jut out to the sea. This is an excellent spot for fishing.

The quieter and lesser known Choengmon is located in a very secluded part of the island, up on the northeast corner of the island, among a series of small bays, most of which have been given over to private residential developments. It is popular for water sport activities as well as just lazing around. More information of Choengmon Hotels |

Officially Bangrak Beach, it named after the 12 meters high Buddha statue that dominates the area. The beach resorts here are much calmer and quieter than in Chaweng and Lamai on Samui’s east coast. It’s a lengthy, sweeping beach lined with resorts and restaurants, and although fairly laid back, those looking for girts and nightlife will have plenty to choose from.

This is another quieter and more laid back feel beach and is popular with people who don’t want to be in the thick of Samui’s hedonistic areas. Bophut itself is also known as Fisherman’s village and is considered the most traditional and well preserved place on the island.
