Chaweng is the busiest beach area on Koh Samui, a long sandy bay on the Gulf of Thailand side of the island, lined with hotels, shops, bars and restaurants. Samui City Hotel is in the Chaweng area, so the beach, the roads behind it and the evening markets form the centre of the island's visitor life.

Chaweng Noi Beach, a smaller sandy beach, is 1.4 km from the hotel. Samui Airport, on the island itself, is 3.5 km away. Big Buddha, a large seated Buddha statue, is 5.7 km away and is one of the island's best-known landmarks. Wat Chaweng, a temple in the area, and the walking street, a pedestrian street of stalls and shops, are nearby, and the Samui Elephant Sanctuary in Bophut is one of the attractions further along the coast.

A relaxed day could start on Chaweng Noi Beach, followed by a visit to Wat Chaweng and an evening at the Night Market and the walking street. Big Buddha makes a good half-day outing, and those who want more of the island can add Na Muang Waterfall or the Fisherman's Village to the plan. Back at the hotel, the garden and the fitness centre offer a quiet place to finish the day.
