A day at OZO Chaweng on Koh Samui shows off this beachfront resort at one of the island's most famous beaches. Dave and family share their food for the day, great shots of the OZO Beach Resort and Chaweng Beach, and a quick update on the COVID situation in Thailand at the time.

A Day at OZO Chaweng

The family spends the day at the OZO resort on Chaweng Beach, sharing the food they enjoyed and plenty of views of the property and the sand. OZO is a modern, mid range beachfront brand, and this visit gives a real guest's eye view of what a day there looks like, from the pool and beach access to the casual dining.

Chaweng Beach Context

Chaweng is the most famous beach on Koh Samui, known for its long stretch of white sand and dense line up of resorts, restaurants, and nightlife. During the pandemic era it was unusually quiet, which makes this footage a rare look at Chaweng without the crowds. For trip planners, it also shows why the beach anchors most Samui itineraries.

COVID Situation Update

Dave adds an update on the COVID situation in Thailand, noting that things were changing quickly and what was current that day might not stay that way for long. That caveat proved true, but the segment preserves an honest snapshot of travel conditions in Thailand in August 2021.
