The Stunning Beaches on Koh Samui
If you’ve ever seen a postcard of a white sandy beach in Thailand, the chances are that the photo was probably taken on one of Koh Samui’s beautiful beaches. The perfect talcum powder sand and the swaying coconut trees are exactly what a dream beach holiday looks like. There are several beaches on Koh Samui for you to choose from, where you can either spend the day at a beach club or while away in the sun with your loved one. Here’s a guide to some of the beaches:
Bophut Beach
This beach is a great introduction to Koh Samui on your first night here. Filled with the hustle and bustle of a busy beach resort, you can soak up the carnival-like atmosphere and take your time to select a restaurant for dinner. Much of the architecture is inspired by Chinese and Thai cultures, which gives the buildings a distinctive look. There’s plenty to see and do while you’re here, or you could choose to just lie in the sand for a couple of hours and watch the sun dip below the horizon.
Ban Tai Beach
Located on the island’s West side, Ban Tai Beach is slightly quieter than the previous beach but no less stunning. The crystal clear waters are as inviting here as anywhere else on Koh Samui, and you’ll be mesmerised by the shimmering blue water. You should be careful here, as this beach isn’t quite as developed as the others, and there are plenty of rocks and sharp coral to stub your toe or cut your foot on.
Chaweng Beach
Just a stone’s throw away from the airport, Chaweng Beach is known for its thumping party vibes. A Muay Thai kickboxing stadium is nearby for those curious about the Thai martial art. This beach is it if you’re looking for a trendy location to hang out with the younger crowd.
Best Viewpoints on Koh Samui
Make sure you don’t miss out on capturing a breathtaking shot from one of the many gorgeous viewpoints on Koh Samui! There are several to choose from on the island, and here are a couple of our top picks:
Jungle Club Viewpoint
If you only have time for one viewpoint to visit during your trip, this is it! The Jungle Club Viewpoint is one of the best spots on the island to take in the beautiful sunset. Sitting atop a hill, you can look across a vast portion of the island while slowly sipping a sundowner as you admire the view.
Lat Ko Viewpoint
Situated on the island’s east coast, Lat Ko offers a stunning panoramic view of the sea. You can easily park your motorcycle and walk along the paved paths as the evening comes to a close. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to pop the question against a gorgeous sunset for a backdrop, there’s no better place to be.
Ang Thong National Park on Koh Samui
The stunning beaches and viewpoints on Koh Samui often overshadow the national park. Still, it’s no less impressive. Made up of an archipelago of 42 islands covering 102 square kilometres, the national park hides a diverse variety of wildlife both on land and in the pristine waters. Visitors can spend a day canoeing, hiking or chartering a private tour of the islands. Keep your eyes peeled for the numerous sea turtles that live here, and be amazed by the diversity of marine life.
