Samui's Big Buddha Beach, sitting along the island's north coast is one of the quieter, more budget traveller orientated beaches on the island. With a reasonable strip of sand and a smattering of budget guesthouses through to mid range resorts, there's something for most people here.

That it's never very crowded is one of the main attractions to Big Buddha, and if you're after slow strolls down a largely empty beach then you could do a lot worse than here.

That said, Big Buddha isn't one of Ko Samui's more beautiful beaches -- there's many a boat anchored here and the frequent ferries to and from Ko Pha Ngan certainly don't add to the serenity, nevertheless, the beach attracts a crowd of regular, often repeat custom.

The eastern end of the Big Buddha Beach sits right under the flight-path to Ko Samui airport, so airport noise can be a problem. However, as most of the resorts are located towards the centre of the beach and as Bangkok Airways are still only flying relatively small planes in, the noise isn't deafening ... yet.

 

On the topic of the airport, if you're looking for a place to stay before an early flight out or after a late flight in, Big Buddha Beach is where you want.
