After a long,
lazy day in the sun, you'll probably have plenty of
energy left for Samui's busy night-life. And you'll
certainly need it! Beach bars, cafes, karaoke, cabaret
shows, and night clubs are all here on this progressive
isle.
When you're ready for a break
from the beach, visitors will find many options for
outdoor recreational activities await those traveling
alone, in couples or as families.
If you catch a spell of rainy
weather, you might take the opportunity to learn to
cook Thai food or learn more about it. With the establishment
of a modern Culinary Institute opened in 1998 especially
for visiting foreigners, as well as cooking demonstrations
at some of the island's large hotels, you can immerse
yourself in the study of one of the world's great cuisines.
For those who wish to learn to speak Thai, there are
also now Private Language Centers. Or you might learn
the art of Thai massage.
Nightlife
What exactly are you looking for? A place to dance all
night long, into the wee hours of the morning? A quiet,
romantic dinner for two beside the ocean? On Koh Samui
you can have it as quiet or as active as you want. There
are four large night clubs in Chaweng and one in Lamai.
All staying open to the wee hours of the morning.
If dance clubs are not your scene, then there are plenty
of other fun ways to spend the night; great restaurants,
outdoor cafes, Internet cafes, stores and stalls to
bargain the night away, or just sit on the beach and
look at the stars!
Samui's nightlife starts early.
By 6.30 pm it's almost completely dark - then the fun
begins. There are beach bars and restaurants around
the island that gradually fill as the sun goes down.
On the west coast, the sunsets across the sea can be
spectacular. And there's no better way to really appreciate
them than with an ice-cold beer or cocktail in your
hand.
Restaurants
The selection of restaurants
on Koh Samui is awesome! Whatever your taste buds are
calling for you can probably get it in Koh Samui. European
style cafes, American food, or the noodle cart at the
side of the road, whatever your choice you won't go
hungry here!
Thai, European, Western, Asian,
and they run from down right cheap to expensive. If
you go hungry in Koh Samui it's by your choice.
