Situated on the northernmost pinnacle of Koh Samui's northeastern Cape that juts out into the Gulf of Thailand, you will find one of the most beautiful bays and series of beaches the entire island has to offer, Choeng Mon. Only 15 minutes north of the bustling tourist centre of Chaweng, this pristine section of coastline supports an impressive number of beach bungalows and up-market resorts, such as the White House, Tong Sai Bay and The Peninsula, all of which enjoy the shade of the lovely Casuarina trees that proliferate along the beach. The increasing popularity of this secluded part of Koh Samui has seen the development of a small but serviceable shopping area, which now boasts all the usual Thailand suspects from furniture, clothing, antique, curios, souvenirs and carvings.

Choeng Mon, however, is perhaps most popular for its untouched and unspoiled splendor than for the number and variety of opportunities it offers to shopaholics. Having said this, like any Thai village, visitors will find ample stores and boutiques tucked away in which they can quench their insatiable appetite for spending money. Most shopping activities tend to be restricted to within the private resorts that in any case provide the visitor with all the reasons they need to not leave the premises. Choeng Mon bay itself is rather small, but features white beaches with sand so clean and fine that it squeaks underfoot. The waters of the Gulf of Thailand lap warmly at the shore while dolphins can be spotted cavorting in the waves a stone's throw out from the beach. Tropical fish varieties crowd around your legs as you wade into the turquoise ocean and the views from the jungle fringed beaches are so breathtaking that not even high-quality and finely pixellated photos can do it justice.

Overall, Choeng Mon is an incredibly upmarket but laid-back part of the island that dedicates its resources to pure and utter relaxation and of course, the appreciation of its natural beauty. There are opportunities to shop, but these tend to be restricted to the in-house boutiques, craft stores, bookshops and restaurants offered by the resorts themselves. Within the village, there are the few shops and supermarket stores, but perhaps not enough to cater for those with an appetite for retail therapy. So, if seclusion in a setting of exquisite natural beauty with some quiet shopping on the side is your thing, then there is no better destination on the island of Samui than Choeng Mon Beach and village.
