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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
