Categoría: Ir de compras, Gastronomía en , Vida nocturna


The central Lamai beer bars occupy a 2,000-square-metre plaza in the town centre. Each bar plays its own music at various volumes, so it can get quite loud at times.

These bars are happening places in high season and the plaza is a great people-watching place. The competition is tough between these venues and gets even more so on Saturday nights, with Thai boxing contests in a small ring, set in the middle of the plaza. It’s all free, you just buy a drink or 2 at one of the surrounding bars. Más información

On Street Bar is one of the most original venues in Chaweng’s tremendous nightlife scene. This tiny venue, located right next to the entrance of KC Beach Club Hotel, is made of corrugated iron and recycled wood painted in bright colours.

This ramshackle design helps to draw in the crowds. Without the catchy display, the 1-metre-wide façade would be totally upstaged by its neighbour, a shop selling vivid paper chandeliers. Come here for the great atmosphere and cocktails prepared with real fruit.

You’ll find various cinemas in Koh Samui, with the major ones being the triple-screen cinema at the Tesco Lotus complex and the Major Cineplex Central Samui.
