Bophut Beach

Located on the north of the island between Maenam and Big Buddah Beach is another one of Samui's finer beaches. Bophut is also one of Samui's more established settlements.

It remains a charming fishing village that has changed very litlte over the years. Today, Bo Phut attracts many young couples and famlies and the village itself retains that quite fishing village image.

Several of the old, wooden, seafront shophouses have been transformed into delightful restaurants, keeping Bo Phut's character intact. Other shophouses continue to operate as they have for years, serving the local residents and fishermen.

Bo Phut Beach offers some three kilometers of smooth white sand, and the tranquility of the bay makes this a popular spot for relaxing.

The narrow beach road leads from the pier westward past resorts, restaurants and local shops. At night this area is known for its charming and romantic atmosphere. Bophut is perfect for a little privacy and a quiet nighttime stroll on the beach.
