Crystal Bay - Koh Samui, Surat Thani, Thailand

White sand curves around Crystal Bay, where rounded boulders rise from the shallows and a green hillside fills the background. Small waves wash around the rocks as swimmers enter the water, while palms and thatched beachfront shelters frame the southern end of the beach.

On the eastern coast of Koh Samui (เกาะสมุย), this small bay lies between Chaweng and Lamai, facing the Gulf of Thailand. Rocky headlands mark its edges, enclosing a sandy shore where the island’s wooded slopes meet the sea just beyond the beachfront buildings.

The changing waterline reveals more of the scattered rocks as the tide falls, then surrounds them again as it rises. Across the bay, pale boulders line the opposite shore beneath dense vegetation, giving the view a natural boundary beyond the people moving along the sand.

Did You Know? Crystal Bay, Silver Beach and Thong Takian are three names for the same beach.
