From sophisticated gourmet restaurants to the famous full moon parties, Koh Samui has some of the best nightlife in Thailand. Discos, clubs, music venues, bar beers, classical Thai dancing, mud wrestling (yes) and even weekly Thai Lady boxing... Plus, a huge variety of excellent restaurants all over the island.
Chaweng deserves its reputation as the place to party on Samui. There is a huge range of venues to sample on a night out, everything from relaxed lounge bars to full-scale dance clubs.
In the warm-up to a night on the town, a stroll along the main beach road offers ample choice of European style pubs and bars where you can while away the after-beach hours, grab a bite and a drink, watch world sport or just let the world go by.
Chaweng Beach is definitely where the action is, full of eateries and dance moves. Samui's most popular nightlife area. From classy air-conditioned places with imported DJ's and loud, loud, sound systems, to outdoor venues featuring live Thai and foreign bands. If you need to chill out, before hitting the semi-indexregular beach parties, try beachside dining.
Smaller than Chaweng, the scene at Lamai is slightly older with everything from the ubiquitous bar beers, to discos, music venues with lots of foot stomping, classical Thai dancing, mud wrestling (yes) to weekly Thai lady boxing...
Romantic Maenam, where a quiet evening with your loved one is bound to be more than sipping cocktails with your partner as the sun sets. Despite what many will tell you, this quaint coastal village has far more on offer, nightlife wise, than meets the eye. We have mentioned a few popular venues below, which will be added to as further nightlife establishments open up or are discovered.
From beer and wine, to cocktails, Bophut has earned an excellent reputation on the alcoholic beverage front with the island's locals. If you seek a pleasant location for a quiet evening drink, or want to catch up on local gossip as you chat with a local pub owner, this is the place to do it.
Quiet and unassuming, Big Buddha Beach has its own festivals and local events...
The full moon party scene is not quite the same as it used to be. There's half moon, full moon and even black moon parties. Packages are now available to save you the hassle of organising anything except yourself...
Ladyboy Cabarets might not be everyones cup of tea but for the fans among you, Chaweng Beach has plenty to choose from! Thailand's Katoeys or the third sex are world famous, partly because there are so many of them and also because they are so feminine.
