Although small enough to go around to the island in about an hour, Koh Samui is still big enough that you can always find good hiding places, no matter how long you stay. Despite its constant development, remain large parts of the island covered with coconut trees, rice fields and forests.
Chaweng has the longest and most popular beach on Samui. Accommodation can be found in its entire length, and while there is now a clear tendency to moreupscale hotels and resorts you can still find a few budget bungalows on the islands of days left as a backpacker haven. Chaweng is also home to a multitude of islands nightlife, with the highest concentration of shops and restaurants. The popularity of Chaweng means that residential developments away from the strip at the edge of the city or in the hills above the beach where the land costs are lower are more likely to be found.
Lamai is Samui's second largestand some say, the most beautiful beach. The water is excellent for swimming and the southern end is dotted with elegant boulders. Although slightly less developed than Chaweng, Lamai still has its share of nightclubs, restaurants, shopping and more mid-range accommodation. Similar to Chaweng, available in the protected area on and around the beach means that the majority of dwellings in the surrounding hills can be found.
Maenam on the north coast is still a largeSelection of budget accommodation, however there are now a number of top-end luxury resorts are, with a number of restaurants and shops springing up on the main road to offer visitors. Maenam is also home to many of the new developments villa on the island and was one of the first areas to have this development.
Big Buddha's airport on the north coast and close to the Samui 's landmark - the Big Buddha himself. Maenam as it still offersa series of more relaxed and relatively inexpensive resorts. There is also an amazing number of excellent restaurants in the area, and it is also the home of the weekly Secret garden festival.
Bophut Samui is one of the 's recently-developed villages and as such has managed to retain some of its charm and traditional Thai values, but still a light, Mediterranean atmosphere. The limited traffic on this route gives the feeling of a relaxed "Walking Street"something that is increasingly difficult to find Samui. Many of the shop-houses have implemented feed a romantic beach.
