Chaweng is a beach on the eastern coast of Ko Samui, Thailand. The largest and most popular of Thailand's beaches, the area is usually divided into three sections: northern Chaweng, central Chaweng and Chaweng Noi ("Little Chaweng") around a headland to the south.

Do

Most Samui dive shops are based in Chaweng and can arrange trips to Ko Tao and the Angthong National Marine Park.

  • Bobby's Dive World (tel. 077 414 221) is one of many operators, with quality Scubapro gear. Figure on 9000 baht for a PADI Open Water Diver course (although you'll want to pony a few thousand extra for doing your dives outside Samui!) or 2700 baht for a two-dive trip to Ko Tao (plus 500 baht gear rental).

There is very much reggae plyed by the great band, Mr Kee, Dedae, Dom, Tung, Tak and Duck in Reggae Pub,
