Nearly two miles long, waving palm trees grow on the fine sandy wonderful Bo Phut Beach. At this tranquil beach you can fully unwind and re-charge your batteries while absorbing the laid-back island vibe. Bo Phut Beach offers jaw-dropping views over the Gulf of Thailand and Phangan Island.  

Before Koh Samui’s invasion of huge tourist crowds, Bo Phut was just a tiny and sleepy fishing village and a number of fishermen still passionately practice their profession here. But fishing boats aren’t the only ships leaving from Bo Phut as today also speedboats depart from here with onboard tourists and diving enthusiasts touring the island’s surrounding sparkling blue waters.
