Thongplu Beach Resort Samui is in the Bang Por area of Koh Samui, close to the village of Baan Thong Po. Koh Samui is a large island with beaches, temples and waterfalls spread over a wide area, and most visitors reach it by air or by ferry. The setting here is a village one rather than a resort strip, with Chaweng and Lamai, the island's beach resort areas, farther along the coast.

Octopus Beach is the nearest beach at 1.7 km, and Ban Po Beach is a little further on, with its own stretch of sand and the same village setting. Nathon Pier, the ferry terminal at Nathon, lies 4.3 km away, and Na Muang Waterfall is 13.3 km away. The Big Buddha, a hilltop statue, is 14.3 km away, and Wat Plai Laem, known for its large Guanyin statue, is a little further along the coast.

Free parking is available here, and Samui Airport, the island's own airport, is 14.9 km away. A day could start at the Big Buddha and continue to Fisherman's Village in Bophut, with the island's waterfalls and temples as further stops for a day out, and Samui Airport makes the island easy to reach by air.
