About Bophut & Fisherman's Village

A northern beach with wooden shophouses and a walking street, suiting couples wanting evening walks.

Fisherman's Village centers on a narrow road lined with converted wooden houses facing the sea. The beach has coarse sand and drops off quickly, making it better for lounging than wading. Stay here for the Friday-night Walking Street (smaller markets run Monday and Wednesday), but skip it if you want the wide white sands of Chaweng.

Getting there
Walk the village; songthaews run on the main ring road.
Watch out for
Most rain falls roughly October to December.
