Chaweng boasts the longest beach stretch in Koh Samui which is popular for its vibrant and lively nightlife amongst raving partygoers. Thus, fret not, there is quite a lot for you to explore even after dinnertime. Here is a list you can have your pick from!
The word “Soi” when translated into English means a side street. Soi Green Mango is the central hub; the most happening street in the neighbourhood, which is packed with pubs and clubs. It is located near many Chaweng beach resorts. The most famous club in the district is named after this very street - The Green Mango Club, which was established many years ago and continues to be a popular spot due to the big dance floor, the open space, and the late closing times.
This is the sister street of Soi Green Mango, and the name is derived from the two-storied reggae pub located at the end of this 200m long street. The neon-lit bars and the laid-back reggae beats are hard to miss. Though they are dedicated to reggae, they do mix it up with hip-hop and rock. They close at 2 am. However, it gets busy past 11 pm so you can still sneak in for a quick session of karaoke, sway to the infectious reggae, and relax with a couple of beers!
Situated along vibrant Chaweng Beach, SEEN stands as the island's freshest and most vibrant beachfront club experience. Evoking the allure of 1950s sophistication and relaxation, guests can unwind by the pool, indulge in diverse international flavors, savor tropical cocktails poolside, and groove to the beats spun by the DJ. Notable events include the lively Saturday Sin@SEEN pool parties and the laid-back Sunday family-style brunches. Plus, it's conveniently only a 10-minute drive from Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort.
Their motto for their music genre is “no techno, no spice girls, no boy bands”. What do they play, you ask? Well, they are all about the classics ranging from the 1960s to the 90s pop and rock. This is a place for the passionate ones with an old soul and a flair for the evergreen classics. A point worth mentioning is that they have a happy hour every day, which makes this bar quite legendary as its name suggests.
A night list wouldn’t be complete without a shopping suggestion! This street is filled with street food and local stalls that sell everything from shades to branded knock-offs. Do remember you can bargain with the vendors; a little smile will definitely persuade them to budge a little! The street opens at 4:30 pm and closes at midnight. It is located along the Beach Road, not too far from the many hotels thereby making it convenient for you to drop your shopping bags back at the hotel before you head for dinner or late-night drinks. Do note that the street is designed in an unidirectional way; meaning the traffic goes towards the south. Therefore, it’s best to shop either on foot or on a motorbike.
