Chaweng

The seven-kilometer stretch of white sand beach features clear water temperatures averaging 28 degrees Celsius throughout the year and abundant palm trees.

The transformation of Chaweng from a modest fishing settlement to a major tourist destination began in the 1970s with the arrival of backpackers.

Local restaurants along the beachfront serve traditional Thai dishes prepared with fresh seafood caught daily by fishermen from nearby villages.

The beach provides numerous rental stations offering equipment for water activities, including snorkeling gear, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards.

During the winter months, the eastern location of Chaweng Beach creates optimal conditions for watching the sun rise over the Gulf of Thailand.
