Top Hostel Samui sits on Koh Samui, the island in the Gulf of Thailand that belongs to Surat Thani province, and its surroundings mix quiet beaches with a livelier evening scene. Travellers who like sand, sunsets and a relaxed pace will find the area easy to settle into. The island's beaches, temples and markets are all within a few kilometres of each other, so a single day can cover several of them.

Chaweng Noi Beach is 550 m from the hotel and is a quieter stretch of sand than the main beach. The Walking street, 1.4 km away, is the place for an evening of stalls and street food, and the Night Market is close by. Wat Chaweng, a Buddhist temple in the Chaweng area, is 2.1 km away, and the Big Buddha, the large statue on a hill, is 6.2 km away.

A good day could begin with a swim at Chaweng Noi Beach, then visit Wat Chaweng and the Night Market in the afternoon. The Big Buddha makes a longer trip, and the island is reached by air or by boat, so the last leg of the journey is by sea. A late-afternoon walk along the beach at Chaweng Noi is a simple way to end a day on the island.
