Chaweng is Koh Samui's busiest and biggest town, which has sprung up around one of the island's finest beaches. The 3-km ark of white sand on Samui's east coast is what attracts most people to Chaweng. The town has more accommodation options than elsewhere on the island, and it's also popular for its nightlife and dining options.
From beachside institutions to sophisticated cocktail bars, Chaweng's nightlife is streets ahead of anywhere else on Samui in terms of choice. The famous Green Mango strip still forms the axis around which the rest of the town's bars revolve and is packed with revellers every night.
