Where to stay in Koh Samui

Koh Samui has a number of resorts each with their own character - although getting around is quite easy so nowhere is too far away! Chaweng is the main resort, with a great range of bars, shops, restaurants and hotels. On the north coast, the smaller resorts of Mae Nam and Bo Phut offer a more laid back base, but only about 10 minutes from Chaweng. Elsewhere, smaller resorts offer peaceful locations, and with some of the islands best accommodation, these are often worth a look, especially for a special holiday such as a honeymoon.
