Easily the most remote spot on the island, Taling Ngam's appeal
mainly lies with those who want to get away from it all in style,
i.e. by staying at Le
Royal Meridien Baan Taling Ngam, one of Samui's foremost luxury
hotels.
It's not difficult to see why the location was chosen: pristine
jungle shrouded beaches and stunning views of Anthong Marine National
Park combine to make Taling Ngam one of the most picturesque parts
on the island. Apart from Le Meriden, there are also a couple
of cheap bungalow options and a highly regarded seafood restaurant,
Five Islands, but it is a 20-30 minute drive even from Nathon,
the nearest town of any significance and almost an hour away from
Chaweng. That said, if you're after a relaxing, lazy, holiday
above all else, Taling Ngam is hard to beat. Given that
the area is also fast becoming a residential property hotspot,
this may not be the case for too much longer.
