luke69 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi guys I saw many posts talking about different areas on Samui. Many people recommend Bang Rak and Mae Nam. I'm 24, into windsurfing and thai boxing, I like to go out to clubs every once in a while as well. But I like peace and quiet during the day with possibility of getting some good seafood etc. Would these areas be still good for someone like me? If you can recommend any places to stay that I can book online that would be amazing. I'm not too worried about the budget. Thanks a lot for your time.

luke69 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 thanks but a strict muay thai place is not for me. As long as I have gym nerby I'm good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketcher Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Lamai area is probably what you are after. Several muaythai gyms, good nightlife (apparantly) and more folks of your age group out and about compard to maenam or bangrak. As for actual hotels, tripadvisor or agoda will help you there then maybe come back here to ask for merits of your short list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke69 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 So is maenam and bangrak catered more towards older folks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 So is maenam and bangrak catered more towards older folks? Correct. Chaweng is the clubbing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelerian Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Luke, to be honest, if you are in any of Bangrak, Chaweng, Bophut, Mae Nam, Choeng Mon, Plai Laem, you are only ever 5-10 minutes away from the others in that list. They are all situated within a few KM of each other, and are all much of a muchness. Personally I live towards the Bangrak side of Chaweng, along the Ghost Road, and can get to any of those places in under 10 minutes on my bike. The only place that you would consider that is further away is Lamai, which would take about 20 minutes from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Book the first couple of nights in Chaweng and have a look around yourself. You will get a better idea then of where you want to stay longer term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
