) is a civilised beach-resort island for the va-
cationing masses, many of whom fly in and out having made hardly any contact
with the local culture. Chaweng is a luxurious stretch of sand where sun-worship-
pers come to see and be seen; however, there are still sleepy spits reminiscent of
Samui's old moniker, 'Coconut Island', and a few gentle coves for families. Samui
also boasts great amenities and a thriving health scene with yoga, massage, detox-
ing and other yins to the island's partying yang.
