Part of an exclusive US swimwear brand, this large beach house-style store is one of three in Koh Samui (the other two are in Chaweng) and only four in all of Thailand (the other one being in Bangkok). They stock a wide range of ladies swimwear, bikinis and accessories, some of which are Thai-inspired. The wares on offer have a great unique style and a very fashionable look, which the store’s own sun-bleached beach hut-style décor perfectly complements. As you would expect, this level of quality does come at a not-inconsiderable cost.

Elephant Walk Koh Samui is a small night market which opens every night in Fisherman’s Village. Located just a short walk (across the road) from the Happy Elephant Restaurant, it is a fun and quirky shopping experience in Bophut and a good place to find some interesting souvenirs.

The titular walk is not a particularly long one as this little shopping precinct stretches only about 30 metres back from Bophut Beach Road. Most of that space is a gravelled central courtyard with cute elephant statues painted as comic book characters, as well as seating for dining and relaxing and small tables made from empty oil drums painted with national flags.
