Expert Reviews of Samui hotels

Chaweng Beach is located in the heart of Samui, and therefore there are no many tourist bungalows and hostels, they have all been reconstructed into new, more modern, and, of course, more expensive hotels. When choosing a house in Chaweng it is worth considering that all the nightlife here is concentrated near the main beach hotels

Promotion of Lamai promoted a sharp increase in the prices for accommodation, however here one can still find "budget" housing. Prices for standard rooms vary from 150 to 300 baht per day, while for 350-400 baht you can rent a great room with a fan, refrigerator and TV. Several recently built luxury hotels are located on the western tip of Bophut, although there are many mid-range options here.

The connoisseurs of peace and privacy should consider the accommodation in Choengmon, but, those who are eager to see the true Samui, in Nathon, which is in the central part of the island. The cost of a small beach bungalow in Choengmon will start from 700 baht per day. The bungalows here are quite spacious, and most of the hotels have their own swimming pools.
