Beach description

The strip of sand on the beach is quite wide, about 40 meters, and does not change throughout Tongsai. The sand is large, light yellow and medium friable. The hotel staff maintains cleanliness by removing trash and smoothing sand in the morning. The beach cannot be called crowded, mainly the guests of the hotel walk on the shore. You can come here on your own, it is not forbidden, and you will even be allocated a golf cart for a comfortable descent to the water.

But you won't be able to use the beach equipment, only for your own people. In case anyone is interested in reading about other places, I have a short overview of all the beaches of Koh Samui, will help you decide on the choice of the beach.

Entering the water, depth and waves

The sea on Tongsai is deep, very comfortable for entry and slightly dangerous for solo swimming, the depth increases almost immediately, in 3-4 steps. The bottom is free-flowing, made of the same sand as on the beach, and closer to the edges, underwater rocks begin. Not suitable for children unambiguously. Waves are constantly due to the depth.

Sun beds and shade

As it was said - the hotel is expensive, everything is very civil and serious. The administration behaves accordingly, the audience walks in white T-shirts and noble dreaminess in their eyes. It can be seen that people are far from poor, so it is logical that their comfort is guarded with increased zeal. Strangers are not welcome here. Show the beach will be shown, even allowed to stay, but they immediately warn that the beach, restaurant and pool are open only for hotel guests.

So in Thongsai there are two options for recreation: die of heat on an empty beach, or bring your umbrella and break the system. There is no natural shadow on Tongsai at all.

Infrastructure

The area around Tongsai Beach is very deserted. On the right is a mountain, on the left is a mountain, in the back is a mountain. Everything you need for life can be obtained at the hotel. But if you pick up a house for rent, one of those hidden behind Tongsai Road, then all the comforts of civilization will be a kilometer away, on Chong Monet, on the road 4171.

The section of this road through Chong Mona is similar to the one-way road on Lamai. There are mini-markets, tourist shops, travel agencies, equipment rental, bottle stations, cafes, restaurants, laundries, massage parlors and a market. Banks, ATMs, bars, workshops and more and more.

In the evenings, a walking street forms here, and on Wednesdays there are night fairs. These fairs take place only in the most crowded places of the island: Maenam, Bo Phut, Chong Mon, Chaweng and Lamai. Chong Mon has a very good infrastructure and provides everything you need for a good rest and living. Nearby attractions for those living in the Tongsai area:

  • Plai Laem Sor temple;
  • Temple of Nuan Naram (Wan Nuam Naran);
  • Big Buddha.

Koh Samui airport is located five kilometers from Tongsai. Airplanes on the beach itself are not heard, there is no discomfort from this neighborhood. Planes usually land or take off over beaches Bang Cancer and Chaweng. But the cost of a taxi to the airport is not high. There is only a restaurant on the beach itself. For their.

Houses and hotels on the beach

There is only one hotel on the shore of Thongsai, this is Thong Sai Bay Hotel with a price tag of $ 300 per night. Within a radius of two kilometers from the beach there are several resorts with houses for rent, several large construction projects are underway, so there are houses. For example, Samui Grove Villas .

It will be possible to find housing, and the place to live on the island is one of the best, given that the infrastructure Chong Mona all at hand. But here's a beach for daily swimming, you will most likely like some one next door, without such difficulties. Tongson or Chong Mon.

If you want to book a hotel here in advance or look for accommodation on other beaches, I have selection of hotels on Koh Samui with a good rating and reviews.

How to find the beach

You can find Tongsai following the hotel signs. You need to go along the road 4171 to the side Chong Mona. Having passed Big Buddha, be on the alert - after 300 meters a long turn will begin. Without going into it, you need to turn left. This is a T-shaped intersection in an open place, without buildings and trees, which in itself is a rarity on the island. Then follow the signs to the hotel itself.
