Chaweng Walking Street
Ppxy0705Chaweng Street is a seafood street on Koh Samui, where there are dozens of seafood restaurants of all sizes. The restaurants are brightly lit every night and there is a constant stream of people coming here. The business is very hot, and there is also a large night market on the whole street, which is also worth visiting.
Choengmon Beach
超超级cttClear Dream Beach is a wonderful place with beautiful calm waters and clean white sand. There are many restaurants and massage shops on the beach. Enjoy a beer in the shade of a tree on the beach. Nice to stay here for a day of visit. We came to this beach while staying at a nearby resort. The main purpose of our visit was to find a massage shop at a reasonable price. There are many massage shops and a good range of beach bars and snack bars. We chose a typical Thai massage, and everyone spent 300THB. The massage technique of this shop is standard across the beach. The beach resort is quiet and we had to find a taxi to take us home. We can also cut a little price. The beach is clean and water sports and massages are provided as well as a bar. Worth a visit.
Fisherman's Village

Lamai Night Plaza
Ppxy0705Lamai Night Market is one of the best night markets on Koh Samui. It is mainly food-based. A variety of Thai fruits, seafood and some specialty foods can be purchased here. You can eat while walking. It will definitely make you full. And the price is much cheaper than other places on Sumei Island, which is really super cost-effective.
Lamai Beach
蛉蛉啊子Lamai Beach is a short distance from Koh Samui Airport, much less crowded and quieter than the hottest Chaweng Beach, but there are far fewer items to play, and the sand feels thicker.
Hat Bang Rak beach
Ppxy0705The Big Buddha Beach on Koh Samui is located on the edge of the famous Paya Temple. This is a very small beach. There are not many tourists here, so it is very quiet, but the scenery is also very charming. It is definitely a good place to take pictures privately.
