Chaweng Hotels and Chaweng Resorts in Koh Samui
The island of Koh Samui in Thailand is located on the east coast of the country in the Gulf of Thailand. The island is well known for its beautiful beaches, lazy days, balmy nights and hedonistic parties. The island has several towns each with their own flavour and style. This has evolved naturally and means that there really is a town and location to suit all needs on the island.
Chaweng is probably the best known of the towns on the island. It is the biggest of the towns and has the most lively nightlife scene. Chaweng Beach Road is the most central point and is a road that runs from the north of the town all the way to the south, running parallel with the Beach. It is also where most of the Chaweng hotels are located. At any point, the beach and the beach road are no more than 50 metres from each other. Chaweng has the highest concentration of the cheapest hotel rooms, though prices are rising as the five star luxury resorts are replacing the older Chaweng resorts.

It is not surprising really that the more upscale Chaweng villas and Chaweng Spa are developing along the beach as it really is a phenomenal stretch of sand. The sand reaches in a curve for about three kilometres and is a beautiful powder golden colour. The water on this beach is shallow and has a very gradual build to depth so this makes it a very safe beach to swim most of the year round. There is plenty to see and do on Chaweng beach, as there are bars and restaurants running most of the length of the sand. There are also water sports available such as jet skis that prove extremely popular.
Coming back to the beachfront and onto Chaweng beach road you will find enough shops, bars and restaurants to keep you entertained for hours. The whole ambiance of the area is becoming more and more upmarket so if you are looking to eat out then you are spoilt for choice. If you venture out of your Chaweng beach resort, you can choose the small Thai style restaurants serving delicious Thai food and really cheap prices, or you can really go to town and try one of the top-notch five star restaurants. You will need to budget for these restaurants, as the bills can get steep if you venture into the exotic seafood dishes and the wine selection! Once you have eaten, try out a cocktail or two at one of the many bars, some have live music too. There really is always something to see and do to make your Chaweng holiday memorable!
