On the rest of the island you see dumpsites along the road. If the government doesn't take actions soon, this island will transform into a rubbish dump. Well, one thing is for sure, you don't have to get bored on Koh Samui. Chaweng itself is a lively village with tons of shops. Clothing, jewelry, and many internet-stores.
Every day there is a nightmarket, the perfect time to visit.
You can have your dinner in one of the many restaurants, all cuisines are present, from traditional Thai to Mexican and Italian. We went out for dinner a lot to a Thai food restaurant, two doors from the hotel. You should check this one out. In half a day around Koh Samui, visiting all sites. The Golden Buddha, the landmark of Koh Samui, entirely financed with gifts.
