Ko Samui South Coast

Ko Samui's south coast stretches from Hua Thanon in the east through Ban Bang Kao and Thong Kut to Laem Hin Khom in the far west. There used to be a smattering of very budget-orientated places dotted through here, but they're just about all gone now unfortunately.

This is one of the least developed portions of the island from a resort point of view and what resorts there are in this area are well spaced apart, often with kilometres between them.

That's not to say there isn't development going on. Lots of residential complexes, private houses and other land deals continue to roll on across this part of the island.

The beaches are not stunning like the east coast beaches, but what you lose in beauty you gain, to a degree, in peace and quiet. Suited to long walks, the beach is often unkempt so this is a real beachcombers paradise.

 

Probably the only real problem on Samui's south coast is that at low tide much of the beach turns to mudflats and is not really suitable for swimmming.
