Chaweng Beach, Ko Samui
Chaweng Beach, on the west coast of Ko Samui, is the longest and most developed stretch of beach front on the island. Thousands of visitors are attracted to its powdery white sand the whole year round. Accommodation at Chaweng Beach ranges from the most minimal guest house to luxurious five-star resorts and boutique hotels.
In addition to the seaside, Chaweng Beach is also noted for having several good spas. Another, rather unexpected sight at Chaweng Beach is the proliferation of tailors, catering mostly to Western customers, who can get a suit made for just a fraction the cost of doing it back home.
Traffic along the main road at Chaweng Beach.
The main road at Chaweng Beach is narrow, with the sidewalk lining only one side of the road. Along the way, one passes the shops, from the souvenir shops to the boutiques, several seafood restaurants, fast food outlets, a few bookshops, art galleries, and the aforementioned tailors, spas and hotels.
