A lovely, hidden away beach, Taling Ngam Beach is dominated by the sprawling hilltop- to- the- water's- edge Le Meridien Baan Taling Ngam.
Luckily you don't have to stay there to enjoy the beach -- day-trippers are welcome, and Taling Ngam is a world away from much of the rest of Ko Samui.
A world away indeed. If you're in the market for a quiet beach but still want access to a bounty of bars and eateries, this probably isn't for you. It's a long ride/drive from Taling Ngan to to big beaches -- especially at night.
But maybe that's just what you are looking for. There used to be some great budget bungalows in this area -- especially down to the south of Taling Ngam in Phankha Cove (Emerald Bay). They were all closed when we last passed by, but stranger things have happened, and if you were in the market for old-style budget digs, the area would be worth checking out to see what (if anything) either remained in business or had opened anew.
Sorting out budget digs aside, the area near Le Meridien has some excellent swimming and sunbathing, so if you're just swinging by on a Samui-circuit, be sure to take a dip.
There's also a small fishing village within walking distance and more restaurants are appearing in the area.
