KOH SAMUI, THAILANDA FAMILY FIELD GUIDE · 2027 EDITION

Beach · Chaweng / east coast

Chaweng before the day gets busy

Beach time with useful town facilities close at hand.

Chaweng works best for this guide as an early beach visit, not a late-night entertainment plan. Start while the family is fresh, keep the beach session short and use the nearby choice of food and shops for an easy next step. Families based here can enjoy the sand without committing to a long transfer. Those travelling in should decide where they will access the beach and eat before setting off. A lively shoreline can be convenient, but activity zones and swimming areas need a careful look before children run down to the water.

Make it work for your family

  • Keep children clear of boat and motorised water-sport activity.
  • A busy beach is not the same as a lifeguarded beach.
  • Use a morning outing rather than the evening party scene for young children.
