Koh Samui Nightlife

Chaweng Beach: is especially famous for its beer bars (also called bar-beers), staffed by pretty hostesses, usually from the north-east of Thailand. Buy them a “girlie drink” and you’ll be in entertaining company. Beer bars can be found all over Chaweng. The bars offer pool, Connect4 and other popular bar games. Since the nightlife on Chaweng can see serious debauchery at times, the local law enforcers are strict in concern to enforcing closing times. The official closing time in “entertainment zones” is 1am (in practice usually somewhere between 1am and 2am, depending on the location).

Chaweng Beach is packed out with nightclubs playing the latest rave sounds and serving exotic cocktails. Electronic music is very popular. The biggest club is the Green Mango to which even a street was named.

Full Moon Party (Ko Phangan) Had Rin Beach on nearby Ko Phang-ngan was once a secret haven for a few backpackers who could only get to the beach by boat. Now, it is packed with bungalows, bars, pizza joints and even a 7-11 and every month on full-moon, a huge all-night event is held with rave music played by international DJs to thousands of party-goers. To get there you will need to take a boat. The party goes until late morning and only the biggest party animals will survive until the end. a lot of people will sleep on the beach and then take the boat back in the afternoon. So if your a party animal and your in Koh Samui around a full moon, this is a place not to miss. Party-goers often say this is one of the best parties in the world.
