Culture of area

• Bophut is one of Koh Samui’s most charming areas, best known for its historic Fisherman’s Village.

It’s a perfect blend of local culture and modern island lifestyle. 

Beach

Bophut Beach

• Bophut Beach stretches for about 2 kilometers, offering golden sand and calm waters. While it’s quieter than Chaweng, the beach is ideal for swimming, paddle boarding, or simply enjoying a relaxed day by the sea with views of Koh Phangan in the distance.
