A Travelers Guide To Choeng Mon Beach In Koh Samui Thailand
After spending a few days in the City of Bangkok on our travels to Thailand a few seasons ago, we made the quick and convenient flight over to the Island of Koh Samui. We selected a quaint beachfront hotel located on …
Choeng Mon Beach
We were looking for a more peaceful, more quiet beach destination on the island. We also wanted to be within easy reach to other parts of the island, day or night.
Choeng Mon Beach seemed a perfect fit for us. First, check out this short video offering a glimpse of this picturesque beach, located in a quiet secluded bay on the island.

The village of Choeng Mon and the it’s beach, is located on the most north eastern tip of the island. It’s within minutes of Koh Samui’s absolutely beautiful private airport.

From its beautiful gardens to fish aquariums in the restrooms, it was a wonderful surprise and welcome, to this small Island in Paradise!

Samui Honey Cottages
This is a small, family owned and operated beachfront resort located right on the beach. It was just perfect for us!
You can easily walk the length of the beach in about 10 minutes. Not too big and not too small to stretch your legs and go for a short walk. The Bay is very calm, with warm water, sandy and shallow, making it perfect for those traveling with small children.
Choeng Mon Beach
One should be aware of the nasty Sea Lice that sneak up on you like a pesky mosquito!
We had never experienced this before and occasionally when swimming, you would feel a pin prick type sensation.
Sea Lice affect some people and don’t seem to bother others.
We did notice them more in the warmer parts of the water and did find areas to swim,
where we were not bothered by them at all.
Unique Family Friendly Hotels
The beach is lined with resorts and restaurants ranging from modest 2 to 3 star accommodations, with a more luxurious resort on the far end of the beach.
The choice is yours and within easy reach, one can find even less expensive hostels and rooms, to suit most any person’s budget.
Themed Hotel Bungalows
We also enjoyed our afternoon lunch and snacks from the various Beach Vendors that appear on the beach.
Friendly locals preparing …
BBQ Fish and Chicken
BBQ Corn on the Cob
Delicious Spring Rolls
Freshly prepared Doughnuts
Ice Cream
Beach Vendors are very popular among tourists and locals alike on most all beaches on the island.

Getting Around Choeng Mon Beach
Typical Songtaew Taxi Truck
What pleasantly surprised us and after reading reviews before arriving to the island, getting around most anywhere, is easy and very affordable.
The choice is yours, from motorcycle taxi for one, regular taxi cabs to the most popular Songtaew Truck taxis.
They are all cheap to ride in and available most anytime, day and night.
Prices are pretty standard, we did enjoy bartering with them and after a few trips,
one easily gets to know the standard prices to and from certain destinations on the island.
A small tip is a wonderful gesture and many of the drivers are so appreciative of the gratuity received.
A little goes a long way!
What also amazed me was how reliable most drivers were.
Many times we would be driven to a certain beach area and ask the driver to pick us up a few hours later.
To our surprise, every driver appeared and was waiting for us to drive us home.
A little gratuity for the friendly driver is definitely worth it!
Within 20 to 30 minutes, you can easily be at any of the most popular;
destinations, beaches and small towns on the island.
They are all within easy reach and it is definitely worth exploring while visiting.
