Samui Hot Club in Nathon and Lamai

Samui Hot Club in Samui has row after row of colourful sarongs, T-shirts, beachwear and more, all billowing under an extra-strong ceiling and floor fans. It also has strict purchasing rules: customers are not allowed to try items on and once purchased, the shop won't refund or exchange them.

It all sounds very strict and non-compromising but there are still bargains to be had here in the form of abstract and patterned sarongs, which can double as wall hangings, children’s wear and ladies’ beachwear.
