Bang Por Beach, Koh Samui — Walking Past the Bungalows, Bars and Beach Restaurants

Walking the length of Bang Por Beach on Koh Samui's north coast, west heading east, on a Saturday afternoon in late August — talking about what it's actually like to live in Thailand, and looking at what's along the way: small beachfront bungalows, open-air beach bars, and local restaurants where you eat with your feet in the sand. Bang Por is one of the quieter stretches on Samui. If you're wondering what the island looks like away from Chaweng and Bophut, this is it — unedited, unscripted, in real time. Bang Por is definitely a very family friendly beach area, on the north shore of Koh Samui. You have a lot of independent bungalows, as well as small resorts with beach front pools, like Karma Two Palms Resort, and cute little bars and restaurants, like Lagom and Hector's.
