Cover picture: I-Talay (Taling Ngam Beach)
Welcome to I-Talay!
Entrance to a small paradise (& probably the most beautiful place on Koh Samui)
It goes through an idyllic park with unusual works of art
past a pond covered with pretty water lily pads
We discover a giant gorilla figure - made from recycled materials!
All the works in the park were made from garbage washed up from the sea
Rustic wooden bridges and pretty lanterns give the park a special charm
A real highlight: the I-Talay beach bar (right on the beach, of course!)
Far behind, a small group of rocks juts out of the sea
How beautiful can a place be?
Taling Ngam Beach really is a postcard motif ...
... with dozens of large coconut palms under a blue sky
There was hardly anything going on at the beach, it was like paradise!
We walked quite a distance because this place was just so surreal
We continued over a few rocks to the next section of beach
Here you can see some villas of the InterContinental Resort directly on the beach
The 5-star resort even has its own meter-long jetty
We hope we were able to enchant you with these pictures - just like we were!

I-Talay (Taling Ngam Beach)
The west coast of Koh Samui is home to an almost untouched stretch of beach and a real insider tip: I-Talay. We discovered this special place by chance on a scooter and have to admit that we think it's the most beautiful beach on the whole island so far!
Behind "I-Talay" is actually a beach bar with a lovingly decorated garden in which eye-catching, recycled works of art are displayed. The bar is located in the bay Ao Taling Ngama relatively unknown place on Koh Samui - so it's no wonder that there are hardly any people here (not even in the high season).
The entrance leads you through a wonderful garden with wooden bridges, ornate decorations and a pond full of pretty water lily pads.
The beach bar serves delicious cocktails, freshly squeezed fruit shakes and snacks, which you can enjoy to the sound of the sea and a fantastic view!
After a cool drink, it's worth taking a walk along the coast through the fine sand. This place really enchanted us with its nature & shows Thailand exactly as we always imagined it: A tropical palm paradise with untouched nature and very little tourism!
TipI-Talay not only has a bar and a park, but also accommodation: in the eponymous I-Talay Taling Ngamª you can stay relatively cheaply in a small beach cottage right on the beach. If you don't want to do without comfort, then the InterContinental Koh Samui Resort by IHGª a good choice.
