Chaweng is the best-known beach area on Koh Samui, a long stretch of sand with a lively strip of shops, bars and restaurants behind it. Fueangfu Pool Villa Chaweng sits within this busy part of the island, and the garden and outdoor pool offer a calmer place to return to after a day out.

Samui Airport is 950 m away, and it is on the island itself, so arrivals by air do not need a ferry; the property also offers an airport transfer. Nora Beach, the nearest beach, is 1.3 km away, and the Night Market is 900 m away with its evening food stalls. The Samui Crocodile Farm, a zoo, and the Walking street are also nearby, while the Big Buddha temple is 3.4 km away. The Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut is one of the island's animal attractions.

A good day out could start at the Big Buddha temple, with its large seated statue, and continue to Fisherman's Village, with its shops and cafés. Lamai Beach and Na Muang Waterfall are further afield and make a longer outing. Back at the guesthouse, the pool and the garden make a relaxed end to the day, and the Night Market at 900 m is an easy evening outing from the same base.
