Chaweng is one of the best-known beach areas on Koh Samui, with a long sandy beach lined with hotels, shops, bars and restaurants. The hostel sits in this busy part of the island, where the beach road stays lively into the evening and street-food stalls and massage shops are never far away. The Petch Bancha Samui Boxing Stadium and a local market at Laem Din are close by.

Chaweng Noi Beach, a quieter bay, is 1.1 km away, and the Central Festival Samui shopping centre is 1.4 km off. Wat Chaweng, a Buddhist temple, is 1.7 km away. The Samui Institute of Thai Culinary Arts, a cooking school, and Pru Chaweng Park are also close by. Samui Airport lies 3.2 km away and an airport transfer is offered, while car hire and bicycle rental are also available for getting around the island.

For a day out, combine a swim at Chaweng Noi Beach with a visit to Wat Chaweng, then continue to the Big Buddha, one of the island's best-known landmarks. The Big Buddha makes a fitting stop for a longer day out, and the evenings on the beach road, lively with its bars and restaurants, are an easy way to finish it.
