Stay well clear of Chawaeng and probably also Lamai. Take a look at these sites which both have good maps.<BR><BR>http://www.sawadee.com<BR><BR>http://www.asiatravel.com<BR><BR>I am not personaly a 'Samui' or 'Phuket' lover at all so it would be unfair to give any tips.

I went to Koh Samui last year and had a very enjoyable stay. An excellent resort to stay in is 'The Tongsai Bay'. Check it out before you make your decision. (Their open air room concept is just fabulous)

Hi<BR><BR>I was in Ko Samui in March. We stayed in Bophut in the north of the island. It is quieter there but the beach was lovely and there was a nice selection of restaurants in 'Fishermans Village' nearby. We stayed at the Samui <BR>palm beach resort which was an excellent hotel right on the beach.<BR><BR>Cathy

Hi Mast<BR><BR>I agree with Cathy. For us the best beaches are either Bophut or MAENAM especially for a family<BR>Bruno

Thanks everybody!<BR>A friend of mine told me that Chawaeng Noi is quite a good location, in the sense that it is quiet and not far away from restaurants and shops if we need to, is it a better choice?<BR><BR>Thanks again!<BR>mast

Definitely Maenam. Home Bay Resort is clean a a very good bargain.
