The Chongmoen area is one of mystical secluded bays, quiet back roads and breaking surf on huge granite rocks. Home to many an upmarket resort, Chongmoen is an exclusive area in the north of Samui Island and you can go from a five-star resort into genuine Thai village life in a matter of minutes. Close to the airport and the Big Buddha and a 20-minute drive to Chaweng, Chongmoen will surprise you with its contrasts.
