What to do for the Koh Samet nightlife

Looking to party with the awesome Koh Samet nightlife!

Koh Samet is a true island getaway. Getting there is half the fun as the old school ferries are an experience in themselves. A quick stop at Laem Ngob Pier by the sea then onto the ‘long tail’ boats for the short ride to Koh Samet. Dozens of bar, clubs and restaurants are dotted through out Mae Haad village with plenty of pool lounges on offer fronting the beach. There’s not a lot going on after midnight so if you’re looking for pumping music and big crowds then head to Bangkok (make sure to check out how to get from Bangkok to Koh Samet).

From Sai Kaew beach to Ao Phai beach, the vibrant nightlife on Koh Samet stretches for miles. When it comes to the main setting, music, and drink menu, these night venues often clone each other in order to satisfy budget travellers and backpackers. A romantic setting under the starry tropical sky is created by a mat and comfortable cushions on the beach (check out the Koh Samet beaches), low tables, and lighting such as kerosene lamps placed right on the sand. Given the fierce rivalry, it seems that everyone offers a happy hour or a drinking game in which you will be rewarded with a few free drinks.

From Thursday to Saturday, you’ll have to share your beach with a large Thai crowd from Bangkok, and to everyone’s delight, you’ll be able to take advantage of irresistible alcohol and cocktail promotions. If you don’t mind, you can try the ‘Bucket,’ which is apparently a popular drink of the Ko Samed nightlife scene and consists of local whiskey combined with ice and energy drink. Expect to see a line of dancing boys, masterful anglerfish, and live fire flickering on the beach at night – a quiet display that often draws a huge crowd. There is a truly relaxed and welcoming environment here, as well as on the entire island, and no one is worried. So kick back and enjoy a tropical-themed night of drinks (don’t forget to check out my Koh Samet travel guide)!
