Featuring crystal clear turquoise water, 2 kilometers of powdery soft white sands and lush swaying palm trees, Plai Laem Beach is a true slice of paradise on earth. Plai Laem Beach makes a perfectly peaceful and tranquil alternative to the popular beach resort town of Chaweng. There are no resorts and bars, just palm trees and the sound of the sea. Blissful, indeed! The beach is located on the top north-eastern part of Samui Island and its sunsets are breathtakingly beautiful so stick around till late afternoon and prepare yourself to get stunned by the orange-glazed sky. For the absolute perfect beach day, you may also want to bring your snorkeling gear to explore the beautiful corals and tropical fish that live beneath the surface of the sea.
