Chaweng is a beach on the east coast of Ko Samui. Chaweng is the largest and most popular of Samui's beaches. It has a lovely white beach and vibrant nightlife, especially at its north end.

Bophut is a beach village on the northeast shore of Ko Samui. Confusingly, Bophut is also a large administrative and postal district even encompassing Chaweng. Therefore a Bophut address is no guarantee that it is in or near the village.
