Bang Por is on Koh Samui’s north-west coast, just west of Maenam. It is one of the island’s quietest areas: a long, peaceful beach with views across to Koh Phangan, sunsets over the sea, and a laid-back strip of local seafood restaurants. With more space and lower land prices than the north-east, Bang Por has become a favourite for new pool villa projects.
