Bophut is a coastal village located on the northern coast of Ko Samui and has managed to maintain an original Thai-Chinese atmosphere to a great extent. Only recently has it been introduced to big waves of tourism and rapidly developing its touristic infrastructure to host the big crowds. Bophut, alternatively known as the Fisherman's Village, has retained its charming character on the east side of the beach while the new developments are found to the west. The nearby beach extends to approximately 2 km of white sandy shoreline dotted with coconut palms, creating a dreamy exotic scenery. The calm waters of the bay make this an ideal place for strolls along the shore but not so much for swimming since they are not very clean. Enjoy the charming traditional character of this beautiful place. Ko Samui offers a wide range of options from magnificent nature to explore to posh and luxury places to relax, so find your way to Bophut village and make this holiday unique!
