Ban Taling Ngam Beach - Koh Samui - Thailand

"Ban" is simply the Thai word for "Village", as the word "Koh" is Thai for "Island".

"Taling Ngam" is often spelt "Talingnam" or "Taling Nam".

Taling Ngam Beach, located on the west coast of Koh Samui just south of Nathon town, is a beautiful and quiet area of Koh Samui.

Not as developed as many areas of the island, Taling Ngam offers extraordinary views and sunsets to the west with the sun setting behind the Angthong Marine National Park's many islands.

There are several resorts and hotels in Taling Ngam, as well as an assortment of both local the international restaurants.

Nearby Lipa Noi beach stretches several kilometres with unspoilt beaches, very few people and room to move and enjoy oneself.

Ban Sabai's Sunset Resort and Spa is located right on the beach at Taling Ngam. At Ban Sabai we have The L'Ananas Restaurant whose menu emphasizes exquisite Thai and International cuisine, including an extensive vegetarian selection.

A myriad of fresh fruit drinks, herbal teas, cocktails and a fine selection of wines will enhance your dinning experience. If, during the day, you feel like having a snack, you may either swim up to the poolside bar or sit and enjoy the shade of the terrace bar.
