We will arrive in Ko Samui Thursday and am wondering which beach to stay on? My wife and I would like a beachfront hut (nothing fancy) where we can just lounge around for a few days, preferrably at a shallow, clear beach with not too many people.
With that said I'm ruling out Chaweng as our base but will visit. What do you think would be the best beach for this?
South Lamai, Manaem, Bo Phut, Big Buddha? And why?
Any beachfront hut recommendations along with the beach?
Hi,
If you like a beachfront hut (nothing fancy).
I recommented location Bo Phut.Because the Bo Phut area not far airport. Only about 10-minute drive from Samui International Airport.and only 10 km (6 miles) away from the city center.My friends stay at Bo Phut Resort & Spa on Feb 2009.This hotel will have a choice of Pool or Beachfront Villas, Ocean View- and Garden Villas in a contemporary and Tropical Style, or Deluxe rooms with Ocean View or Garden View.
We stayed at Moonhut Bungalows on Maenam beach about 5 years ago. It was nice and quiet, and one of the most memorable places I've ever stayed at. The rooms are pretty plain and simple. Ask for the beachfront bungalow. It's seriously only 3-4 metres from the water. Awesome.
I suggest Samui Palm Beach Resort located Bophut Beach This is a good place for kids and families. The Accommodation and location were fine.

If you like somewhere quiet, I would suggest Choeng Mon Beach. This is a little bay and is very beautiful. You can try Samui Honey bangalows or Choengmon Beach Bangalows.
And if you want to go to Chaweng, you can catch a taxi there. But I have to say that taxis from these places to Chaweng are expensive. It is the same if you stay in any of those places you have listed.
What is your purpose?
Your life path and major lessons?
Your heart's desire?
Your karmic imbalance to over come?
(Wow! Sounds like questions that I ask myself)

This family run convenient store can provide you with all the basic survival items such as Water, Coke, Beer, Pringles, and Handmade Soaps. On the top of my shopping list is mosquito repellent, a definite must have item when staying on the island. Anyone walking via the street to Chaweng from First Beach Bungalow or First House Bungalow must pass by this shop. Handmade Soaps. Depends on how much you buy.
Spend a day going around Samui by motor scooter. It`s great fun & you can get a great tan (don`t forget to slather on that sunscreen though as you can burn really fast & not even notice while scootering). 150 baht/24 hrs. Not bad at all. You just have to pay for the gas.
The only thing you have to worry about besides getting hit is that you have to give up your passport as a deposit for the scooter. Most people don`t want their passport out of their reach so if this is not your thing you may want to pass this up. I would risk it though!! :)
There are alot of scooter rental places all along the main thoroughfares around Lamai & Chaweng beaches.
When visiting Lamai beach, try to visit El Dorado , a nice and pleasant restaurant . They have mexican food, swedish and european food, and of course thai food. The owner, Patrik, is a viking himself!! Mex tex buffé, barbecue food and much moore!
Located off the northern shore of Ko Samui, on a small rocky island connected to Ko Samui by a causeway, stands the temple of the Big Buddha, or Wat Phra Yai. The temple is a popular site; its 36-foothigh statue provides an impressive silhouette against the sea and sky. Surrounding the Buddha image are kutis or meditation huts.
Although the monks welcome visitors, a sign requests that proper attire be worn on the temple premises.
