About Dok Put 1
The Space at Dok Put 1
Dok Put 1 is an event venue space within Meliá Koh Samui, a resort property situated along Choeng Mon Beach on the northeastern tip of Koh Samui, Surat Thani Province, Thailand. Choeng Mon is one of Koh Samui's most serene and picturesque beachfront stretches, offering a calmer, more intimate atmosphere compared to the busier southern shores of the island — a setting that lends itself naturally to gatherings where ambience and exclusivity matter.
The name "Dok Put" — meaning "lotus flower" in Thai — reflects the resort's commitment to weaving local Thai identity into its event and meeting spaces. Dok Put 1 is part of a suite of named event rooms within the property, designed to serve both social celebrations and professional gatherings. The space is presented in a style consistent with Meliá's international hospitality standards, combining contemporary comfort with touches that evoke the tropical surroundings of the Gulf of Thailand coastline.
Events & Occasions
Dok Put 1 is suited to a range of event formats, from corporate meetings, workshops, and small conferences to social gatherings and private celebrations. Its position within a full-service beach resort means event organisers have access to the broader infrastructure of Meliá Koh Samui — including catering teams, audio-visual support, and the resort's event coordination staff — all under one roof.
For corporate clients, the room offers a focused and professional environment away from the distractions of the mainland, making it a compelling choice for incentive groups, team retreats, and executive briefings where the destination itself is part of the proposition. Koh Samui's growing accessibility as a MICE destination in Southeast Asia adds to the venue's appeal for regional and international groups seeking a meeting space that pairs productivity with the reward of a tropical island setting.
For social events, the resort backdrop of Choeng Mon Beach provides an inherently special sense of place — making milestone celebrations, intimate receptions, or pre-wedding events feel distinctly memorable rather than routine.
Location & Accessibility
Meliá Koh Samui sits on Choeng Mon Beach, one of the island's quieter bays, near the northeastern corner of Koh Samui. Koh Samui Airport (USM) is the nearest airport and is among the closest resort airports to a hotel on the island, making the journey from arrival to the property straightforward for guests travelling from Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and other regional hubs. Regular ferry connections also link Koh Samui to the Surat Thani mainland and neighbouring islands, broadening access for groups arriving by sea.
Choeng Mon's position keeps it relatively removed from the busier commercial zones of Chaweng and Lamai, offering a degree of seclusion that event planners and their guests often specifically seek. The beach's gentle curve and calm waters create a resort environment where the journey to the venue feels like part of the experience, not merely a logistical step.
