about
Chaweng
Chaweng
provides everything within a short distance. A choice of
restaurants, a great beach, some interesting shops, and a
the best nightlife in Samui. During the day, life revolves
around the beach. You can relax, walk to the nearest
offshore island at low tide, go canoeing, go sailing, have a
Thai massage or a pedicure, eat a wonderful lunch
overlooking the beach, or simply snack on your beach mat
with some fried chicken. It's relaxing and friendly, which
attracts families, singles and couples year after year.
Although rapidly developing with the old rustic charm of
a few years ago replaced with McDonalds, Boots (the
Chemists) Starbucks and the like, Chaweng still retains its
local flavour. Lots of excellent restaurants, small shops to
browse, and of course, seven kilometres of white sand beach.
Many hotels are located directly on the beach, along with
restaurants and small bars, some independent, some attached
to the hotels. So once you've settled in your spot, you
don't have to walk very far to eat or drink. If you really
don't want to move, there are vendors serving fruit, fried
chicken, ice cream and drinks. You can also buy your sarong,
and souvenirs! Although it gets busy during the high season
especially in August, along this long sandy beach, there's
room for everyone. The water is clean, with average
temperatures between 25-28 degrees Celsius.....
Can this be real? Could it be you?
Just offshore from the beach is a reef and a some small
islands close by. The nearest one can easily be accessed by
walking through the shallow water. The second island,
further out and larger, provides the perfect venue for
snorkelling and kayaking. Bring shoes if you plan to walk
around the islands, as they are made of sharp coral sands.
