Top 8 in Top 10 tourist attractions in Thailand.
Koh Samui is the country's second largest island and home to some of the most beautiful golden coastline you'll find in Southeast Asia. Each beach on Koh Samui offers something different: some are ideal for peaceful isolation; Others are filled with activities, water sports and large crowds.
The island's largest and busiest beach is Chaweng, where you'll also find the best shopping, plenty of attractions, and some of the best restaurants. Turquoise waters and dancing palm trees in the ocean breeze may explain why some of the island's best resorts are located here.
Heading south of Chaweng Beach brings you to Lamai Beach , which is a bit smaller and a bit more affordable but still gets busy in the middle of the day, when day tourists arrive.
