With Bang Rak Beach to the east and Maenam Beach to the west, Bo Phut beach is one of the longest beaches on the island. Bo Phut town, more commonly known as Fisherman’s Village, is a quaint little village situated off the middle of the beach and is considered the most elegant and well-preserved spot in all of Koh Samui.Witness the fusion of ancient Thai and Chinese culture with a distinct French feel, most likely due to the fact that this village was the main French outpost on the island for many years. A place where old meets new, the traditional wooden Chinese shophouses are interspersed with sophisticated modern buildings, demonstrating how Bo Phut has embraced trendy innovations while retaining its historic spirit.While perhaps not as beautiful as other beaches on the island, Bo Phut Beach is a still good option for relaxation, covering approximately 2 kilometres of white sandy shoreline, fringed with coconut palm trees. There are a plethora of water sports to choose from, such as snorkelling and diving, or if you’re feeling really active, why not take a daytrip to Koh Phangan or Koh Tao, or charter a boat to Ang Thong National Marine Park?When it comes to eating in Fisherman’s Village, seafood is the speciality. However, if the catch of the day doesn’t whet your appetite, there are plenty of other restaurants offering classic Thai menus as well as Mediterranean favourites. Spend the day meandering through the bustling markets or take a breather in one of Bo Phut’s Chinese teahouses.Come nightfall, the town comes to life with a younger crowd flocking to the funkiest bars and clubs. While the party scene is vibrant, Bo Phut is also a great spot for those who prefer an early night. Families and older crowds can enjoy the Friday-night markets where the streets are lined with stalls and the delicious aroma of local Thai cuisine lingers in the air.Located on the north coast of Koh Samui, Bo Phut is just four kilometres from the airport.
