Where to stay in Chaweng
Samui’s busiest visitor area, combining a long beach with extensive dining, shopping and nightlife.

- Nightlife is an intentional part of the trip
- A lively rather than secluded beach atmosphere suits you
Important trade-offs
- Noise varies sharply by street and property
- Traffic is busy around the centre
- It is not the right base for a quiet island retreat
Accommodation fit
