A small, sheltered bay tucked between Lamai and Chaweng on Koh Samui's east coast, known locally as Silver Beach or Thong Takhian. The cove is framed by granite boulders and holds some of the clearest, calmest water on this side of the island — well-suited to snorkelling. The beach itself is narrow but the water quality is consistently above average. Access is through resort property but the beach is public. Free to visit.
