Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

nice beach, too many hotels on it, a long row of hotels, most of them very low level. centara reserve the only one high level. The beach is full of people in high season, due to the many hotels on it....some part are more empty and cleaner. The sea was calm and warm in August.Sandy so no much visibility but perfect to take a swim...in low tide is more like a bath tube but fine enought anyway.

This is very much a tourist beach but in Jul 22 was not crowded. Plenty of bars serving reasonably priced food and drink with sun loungers that are nicely spread out. The sand is soft and golden and the sea is warm and is shallow for a long way out so is great if you have small kids. There’s water sports available and is right in town.

This beach is extremely clean and great for an early morning walk with family, friends or alone…
During the day it is becoming more and more busier which is good for the local economy…
It’s also a good beach for families with young children…
The street food is also amazing on the beach…

Chaweng Yai beach is a pleasure. Uncrowded (it is Augusy 2022 - early post-pandemic days).
The sand and eater are as pucture perfect as it gets. My pictures are all without filters.
There are plenty beach restaurants and clubs that will arrange a lounger and food/beverages on the beach.

I’d highly recommend visiting this beach. The water is so clear and you can walk out pretty far into the ocean. It’s a white sand beach and a wonderful spot for the day.

Hi. I'm thinking of staying at First bungalow resort South Chaweng and I love swimming. Is the swimming good there with no rocks or are there better placesto swim? Thank you.

The beach there is nice! Do note there are rocks over to the left side of the beach from first bungalow. Otherwise the beach /water is a clear stretch to the right. I'd say it's good for a swim!

1) it is not at all a party island
2) Not much to see for young children
3) mostly sunshine with some showers. Temp between 28 and 35 degrees
4) Its best to rent a car to go somewhere unless you are in Chaweng
5) The island is mainly for beach tourists ( Chaweng an Lamai beach are the best )

This Chaweng beach is a beautiful beach. And shady with the smell of nature The water is not very deep to play. Suitable for taking pictures with friends and family. Including walking in the peaceful nature. Recommended to visit here.

If you like to stay near market, bar, restaurants and fun places then stay near to any accommodation at Central Festival Samui. Or you prefer quite places then stay at Samui Reotel beach resort. We stayed here for two nights and found it extremely comfortable in all manner. You Can go to Central Festival Samui area by 50 Baht bus from here.

I would stay towards the Lamai end of Chaweng- the beach is better. If you can find the locals market the prices are much better.
There are plenty of shops, bars and cafes all along Chaweng though

Hej, är det långgrunt eller ”badbart” på den sträcka du beskriver? Har du varit på Lamai? Svårt att välja här. Tack för bra skrivet omdöme! //Susanne

Hejsan! Absolut badbart, men långgrunt skulle jag nog inte säga att det var. Inte som det är på vissa ställen här i thailand. Gick du ut några meter så hade du vatten till midjan. En annan grej om vattnet var att det flöt några lila små pluttar i vattnet. Helt ofarliga tror jag(?), jag undvek dom så mycket som möjligt. Vette sjutton vad det var för något men de var nästan överallt.
Har tyvärr inte varit i lamai. Hoppas du får en trevlig resa=)

je voudrais savoir quel temps il fait en février a koh samui et y a t'il beaucoup de russes, je part en février 2019 merci pour votre réponse.

En février c'est la saison sèche jusqu'en mars , début avril . J'ai rencontré des russes mais pas énormément . cela dépend de l'endroit où vous aller . En général on les trouve dans les lieux touristiques comme Chaweng , lamaï et dans les hébergements bon marché , Dans le Nord vers Maénam , Bang Por ce sont plutôt les allemands que l'on rencontre , au niveau discrétion et finesse c'est pas mieux ! Bonne vacances quand même !!
