On Samui
Island, Chaweng Beach offers the largest range of luxurious
as well as simple accommodations. Furthermore, the tourism infrastructure
covers restaurants of all categories. Numerous simple and better
restaurants have specialized in seafood.
As everywhere
on Ko Samui the visitors are mostly Western; the average
age of tourists might be a little bit higher on Chaweng Beach
than on the other beaches of Ko Samui - a result of the better
hotels on this beach attracting a rather well-to-do clientele.
Surprisingly
popular on this beach is parachute sailing; the participant
is tied to a parachute and then pulled up into the air by a speedboat.
While parachute sailing in Pattaya is rather an amusement for
the young, on Chaweng Beach even women of over 60 have been observed
dangling from a parachute. In most cases, it's rather a test
of courage than an athletic effort.
