Chaweng is the longest beach and biggest town on Samui. There are dozens of hotels and bungalows along Chaweng’s fine white sand beach. You can find anything from five star luxury to a few budget bungalows remaining from Samui’s days as a backpacker’s haven. Just in from the beach, the main road is lined with restaurants offering every imaginable cuisine, numerous dive shops, and a few rocking open-air clubs where you can dance until dawn. If you wander further inland from the beach toward Chaweng Lake you’ll find the local Thai boxing ring, a giant open-air produce market and numerous food stalls catering to locals. Chaweng’s main road is one of the best places for people watching at night, but if you are driving a motorbike, go slowly through the wide puddles, as they can hide some nasty potholes. |
