Coco Tam’s is a popular open-air beach bar situated on the picturesque Bophut Beach in Koh Samui, Thailand. It offers a relaxed tropical atmosphere with beanbags on the sand, swing seats at the bar, cabanas, and shisha. Visitors can enjoy chilled out tunes and stunning sunset views over the ocean while sipping on refreshing drinks.
This place is overpriced (in comparison to other restaurants in the area) but its truly worth it. The pizzas are to die for. I actually really enjoyed the freshness and the high quality of the ingredients, I believe the pizza served here is way better than many many pizzas I have eaten before at italian restaurants in europe (& including Italy). The pastas are also delicious, portions are very generous and its very fresh! the entertainment at night and just the atmosphere of the place is amazing & fun. We ended up coming to Coco Tams 3 times during our stay, all those times we had a wonderful experience. The fire show was very cool. The dj was amazing.

We had heard a lot about Coco Tams and we were very excited to visit and celebrate a birthday. We got there early to spend the whole evening there. The staff were attentive and even when it got busier there was still a good level of service and we were never rushed. The fire show was very good and entertaining, if you intend on just visiting for this alone then ensure you arrive no later than 6pm to get a table. The venue itself is very clean and visually very beautiful and right on the beach. The reason for the four stars is because the food was the biggest disappointment. It was very expensive for what it was especially in comparison to very nearby restaurants in the same tourist hotspot. It was only Italian choices which I was surprised at and I would have preferred Thai food options but understandably they are catering for tourists from all destinations. The food was good but it is hard to go wrong with pizza and pasta. There were a good selection of drinks, including cocktails, which were well made but again were more expensive than other nearby places. It is worth a visit as it has a great atmosphere.

A very happening place, the pork dish I wanted to order was sold out. So we ordered the pork ribs instead , which is very good and big portion, could not finish so we packed it, the next day we eat still very nice . The onion soup, pizza rolls, and dessert tiramisu was very nice. To top it off, we saw the spectacular fire show!
Grace L — Google review
Coco Tam's is located in the heart of Koh Samui's Fisherman Village. It's a great place to come for a drink or dinner and in the meantime watch the fire show, while sitting on large cushions placed directly on the beach. Every evening there are two shows: the first at 19:15 and the second at 21:15. We were here in August and arrived just before 7pm. They brought us into a kind of waiting room upstairs, where we could order our first drink. After about 10 minutes, they took us down to the beach before the show started and we took our drinks with us. The show lasts about half an hour and it is a good experience to start an evening in a different way. Admiring the show has no cost, but consumption is requested.
Silvia F — Google review
Must see fire show. Beanbags on the beach with food,drinks and sheesha service. Bar attached for bar drinking and restaurant above. Everything you need to get ready for the fireshow. No charge for fireshow.. just relax drink eat and be ready. Local street vendors will offer products between shows but don't press you to buy if you don't want.

The atmosphere was okay since it was raining! However, the pizza is quite small considering its regular size and it’s expensive!!!! The salad was nice but it was nearly the same price as the pizza and the portion was small! Drinks were really nice Bora Bora is very refreshing! Overall it was okay just expensive !!
Nicholas S — Google review
An oasis of cool air and cold drinks on any hot and humid day in Thailand awaits at Coco Tam's. Uninterrupted views out over the water, as the boats come and go and you enjoy your cocktail or anything else from their extensive drinks list. The menu has a good range too, with the wood fired pizza a personal favourite. The staff were all very friendly and happy to look after us as we went through preliminary drinks, lunch and one of the best coffees we had whilst in Thailand. A great place to stop as you travel through The Fisherman's Market.
David F — Google review
We had a good experience, we found out about Coco Tam’s via TikTok and decided to give it a go because we wanted to see something fun. The woman that was working at the entry was a little short with us as well as the others waiting in line which was a little disappointing. Once we were shown our seats the ordering process and service were prompt. The sellers on the beach put a bit of a dampener on the experience, it was something we did not expect considering the venue had strict rules and expectations from the patrons. The bean bags were comfortable, the set-up was unique and I have no hesitation in recommending Coco Tams to others visiting Koh Samui.

Beach
Bo Phut Beach, located in the north of Koh Samui, is a modest yet charming destination that offers a mix of natural beauty and cultural experiences. The beach is divided into two sections: Bophut Beach itself and the renowned Fisherman's Village. This village is known for its well-preserved elegance, with wooden Chinese shop-houses blending seamlessly with modern buildings to create a Mediterranean atmosphere. It was once the main French outpost on the island.
Very pleasant hotel. Nice beach access and rooms. The staff was helpful and very nice. Some of them even remember our names! The breakfast was excellent and they offer lots of choice. And the hotel has lots of activities planned weekly. The management staff actually walk around and speak with the guest. Which is a very old-school, but very nice touch! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Hidden Gem in Ko Samui – Fisherman’s Village at Bo Phut Beach 🌞🌊 Stumbled upon this charming Fisherman’s Village during our Ko Samui adventure—and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Nestled along the picturesque Bo Phut Beach, this spot perfectly blends laid-back beach vibes with vibrant island culture. By day, it’s a sun-drenched haven ☀️—great for strolling, beachside lounging, and popping into cozy cafés. But as the sun sets, the whole village transforms 🌅✨. The streets come alive with lights, music, and a buzzing energy that’s both relaxing and exciting. You’ll find everything here: 🎨 Talented local artists showcasing unique pieces 💈 Trendy barbershops with serious style 💅 Chic nail parlors for that perfect vacation manicure 💆‍♀️ Massage shops offering pure bliss with an ocean breeze And don’t even get me started on the food—incredible beachside restaurants serving up fresh seafood, Thai favorites, and global flavors in a cozy, candle-lit setting. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore, Fisherman’s Village is a must-visit slice of Ko Samui paradise.

Beach is long but definitely not wide enough to fully rest without multiple people walking right past the towel to lay. Also water further is a bit muddy
Agata D — Google review
Bo Phut Beach on Koh Samui island is one of the most known place there. It offers a laid-back atmosphere with its soft, golden sands and clear blue waters. It's an ideal spot for those looking to unwind and soak in the natural beauty of Thailand. The beach is particularly notable for its stunning sunset views, which create a magical backdrop for evening strolls or dinners on the shoreline. The nearby Fisherman’s Village adds to the beach's appeal, with its quaint shops, vibrant night market, and an array of restaurants serving fresh seafood and local cuisine. Bo Phut Beach’s shallow waters make it family-friendly, providing a safe environment for swimming and playing. Additionally, the beach is lined with palm trees and cozy loungers, encouraging visitors to relax and enjoy the tropical vibes.

Nice beach but the sand was not white and soft but rather full of broken shells and little rocks. The water had the color of a lake and when you went in you were left with a weird brown smear on your body. So we left after only 1 1/2 hours.

Stunning location. I stayed in a beach front resort in the area. Like many places in SE Asia, plastic and debris washes into the shore. Rather than complain about it, pick it up and collect plastics from the water for the sake of the turtles and other sea creatures.

Beautiful long beach. The sand is a bit coarse-grained, but still not a problem for long barefoot walks. The beach is not overcrowded and there is no vehicle noise. Quiet, very pleasant & relaxing atmosphere and there are some nice restaurants to stop by.

Bar
Woobar is a trendy and stylish bar located at the W Retreat Koh Samui, offering a luxurious and contemporary setting with direct views of the sea. The bar features a large outdoor deck with a beautiful swimming pool, making it an ideal spot to immerse yourself in Koh Samui's nightlife. With circle sofas set within the infinity pool, Woobar provides an Instagram-worthy experience, perfect for lounging and enjoying unobstructed views of the sea.
WooBar in Koh Samui is a stunning place to visit. I highly recommend it. The cost is over a 1000+ baht per person, $50+, which we found worth it. We enjoyed a variety of snacks and cocktails, and they even treated us to free drinks like sangria, which was a nice touch. The tables are situated directly in the water, creating a beautiful and unique experience. They also had a fire show, which was impressive. I especially recommend the tuna snack.

A gorgeous bar with a stunning view. Fabulous great quality cocktails and the best service. The bar itself and view from the rooftop are gorgeous a very cool venue. Very empty which meant it lacked a bit of atmosphere but definitely worth a visit none the less it would he great for sunset.

A super beautiful bar that we visited one evening, and were able to enjoy a drink under an open starry sky. The bar is located on top of a small mountain, with a view of the sea. The staff was super super nice, and did a lot to make us feel welcome. We started with a seat close to the pool, but these seats were uncomfortable to say the least, as they consist of metal chairs without cushions. When one of the seats islands became available, we were fortunately offered this one. Our drink was one of the place's signature drinks, and therefore we expected a lot. Unfortunately, we expected more than we got, because it didn't taste very good, to say the least. When a drink has a high price, in my world there is also an expectation of a particularly good taste. And yes, it is probably a question of taste, but this experience did not give us the courage to spend more money, so we left the place again.

Wow what an elegant and beautiful place to have dinner and watch the sunset. Naturally it is a bit priced, but we were prepared for that. Cocktails are amazing, food was good and the fireshow was so wonderful. What a show! Nice DJ playing tunes, we had a really nice evening😁

The views here are actually not that amazing. The way they built it makes it only possible to view in mostly one direction, so you can’t really see the sunset. I don’t think it’s worth the price for these views. The drinks and food are good, and service is really friendly and generous.

● Jan2024 ● ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars I took my partner for birthday dinner. What an entrance, it definitely got a dramatic view. It is pricey but understandable. However, with the price this high, you would have high expectation as well and as did I. Drinks were tiny and it's expensive. We ordered food from the kitchen table. I wanted to have Japanese cuisine from Namu but they wouldn't serve it at Woo Bar due to temperature control of the food to deliver it from the beach to the top. Double cheese burger was very ... plain. I expected it to be a bit more ... wow and delicious. Of course when you pay over 500 baht for a burger 🍔 you would hope that first bite would wow you. I ordered salmon salad 🥗 a bit after my partner ordered his burger. I was told it wouldn't be too long. Also, I thought a salad wouldn't be hard or complicated to make. I waited and waited until my partner almost finished his dish. So I asked staff if she could check the food for me. Not long after that, my food arrived. It was underwhelming. Just a flat smoked salmon in a plate of a siza as big as your hand. I definitely didn't think it would take long. The flavor was ok but ... I think they try to elevate the dish and make it fancy too much. Sometimes, simple but well cook food is the best. I guess it's not my type of food. I like the food that fill you up and you want more of it. I mean ... the view is spectacular. I booked for a birthday and was confirmed for birthday celebration. I thought there would be some sort of special arrangement for the occasion but nothing. I mean they're not wrong. I was in hospitality business and this attention to details would lift your service and guest satisfaction. This is just a friendly advice for a chance of improving the service. I didn't expect to get anything but when I was confirmed the booking, it seemed that they got a birthday celebration note. A card or complimentary drink or dessert for the birthday person would not hurt your business. I mean I went to far less luxurious place and I got more of a nice gesture on special occasion like this. Would I come back? Probably yes, for the view and if it's not my choice. But I wouldn't come back for a drink or food here. Thank you.

Magnificent views in every direction, well stocked and enthusiastic staff. I am truly impressed and entertained with this Bar. Genius seating configuration and contemporary design. The fire show is very entertaining. The guys on the show are very skillful. My attendant, Mr. Bank had made me feel like meeting a new friend. Rather than just go into an establishment. His attentiveness and positive attitude is what made my experience whole, along with drinks. Extensive drinks menu. Exotic cocktails. Even Laguvulin 16 and Dalwhinnie 15 whiskey are served here ( hard to find in Thailand). Those two single malts pair well with my Olivia cigar. We were there for two nights and service was very consistent. We did not stay at the hotel, so I have nothing to say about the room. But I really had a good time at this Bar, and would need a very compelling reason to not visit this Bar again.

We decided to check out the Four Seasons for sunset. We were not sure if we would be able to get in as we were not staying, however everyone was super friendly and we had a great experience. When we arrived we parked our bike at the top and they had someone takes us down to Coco Rum bar by golf cart, there is no way you can walk this resort is massive and loads of steep hills. Once the golf cart dropped us off a lovely member of staff walked us to the bar area, along the way she explained a little bit how it worked etc and showed us the amazing Rum Vault which we will certainly try next time. We grabbed a huge couch seat just in front of the infinity pool, the seating couches are massive with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful surrounding. As the sun was just starting to set a lot of the hotel guests were leaving so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves (if you can recommend getting there a little earlier to enjoy the beautiful surroundings before the sunsets). We love rum and this bar is a rum drinker dream and with an amazing rum cocktail menu. Sorry we can't remember what we ordered, however, both amazing rum cocktails. We decided to enjoy some lite finger food which matched great with our run drinks. The drinks and food are not cheap, however, certainly worth the experience and give yourself time to enjoy the moment and surrounds of the Four Seasons, just stunning!!

CoCoRum is an amazing sea- and poolside bar with both traditional and house-invented rum-based cocktails. The staff is very attentive and friendly, as well as knowledgeable. The drinks are pricey but delicious; you’re paying for the ambience and top shelf rum. You CANNOT see the sunset from this bar as other reviews claim (the sun sets behind a hill, so from the bar it’s not visible), but it’s worth a visit nevertheless.

On Street Bar stands out as a unique and exclusive venue in the vibrant nightlife scene of Chaweng. Despite its small size and unassuming facade, this bar made from reclaimed materials and colorful decor offers a one-of-a-kind experience. Located near the entrance of KC Beach Club Hotel, On Street Bar showcases creativity and trendiness without relying on lavish spending to create an appealing atmosphere. It's a popular watering hole that proves style and charm can be achieved through innovative design rather than extravagant investments.
Great little bar in banana market area. You can also grab food to eat from the guy across the way and eat it in the bar area. Live music a couple of nights a week as well. Certainly worth a visit.

And they are talented! My friend and I kicked off and finished our nights here. If you are looking for something more authentic or when the bright neon lights of the beach side party places have lost their appeal (in my case) rapidly...

We weren’t sure whether to bother with this beach initially, a slight concern that it might be crazy busy and full of rubbish etc… however I’m glad we did because it’s one of the most beautiful beaches on Samui. Sand colour on any beach can appear to change from white to yellow depending on the sun/conditions, but the few days we spent here it was white sand and calm blue waters. Theres loads to do with bars, restaurants and sunbeds to rent. Plus jet skis etc for those that are interested. It wasn’t too busy in June and there was no hassle from beach sellers. The planes coming in and out of Samui Airport made for an interesting back drop too.

I Love Koh Samui ❤️ Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui’s most popular stretch, is a 7km crescent of soft, white sand with crystal-clear waters. The southern end offers serene vibes, ideal for relaxation and stunning sunrises, while the northern part buzzes with resorts, bars, and nightlife. Water sports like jet-skiing and snorkeling thrive, but strong currents and occasional litter can mar the experience. Beachside massages and dining are highlights, though crowds and noise may overwhelm some. Perfect for lively beachgoers; quieter seekers should stick south.

I went to Cape Away Beach Bar and had such a lovely time—the food, music, and atmosphere were all amazing. But what really stood out was how kind and friendly the staff were. I had a flat tire in the middle of a scorching hot afternoon, and honestly, I didn’t even notice until they pointed it out. I had rented a simple car with no warning system, and they were the ones who noticed and stepped in to help. They truly saved my day—fixing it right there under the blazing sun without hesitation. Huge thanks to John and the rest of the team (whose names I didn’t catch) for your kindness and generosity. You didn’t just serve great food—you showed incredible heart. Highly recommend this place not only for the good vibes, but also for the amazing people behind it.

Ark Bar is a vibrant beachside destination known for its major parties and lively atmosphere. The beachside pool hosts free barbecues on Wednesdays, and the party starts at 14:00 and goes until around 02:00. Non-guests can access the pool and loungers for a fee, or join in later to dance to the beats of resident DJs playing trance and electronica music with captivating light shows.
Ark Bar – The Heart of Chaweng’s Beach Party Scene If you’re looking for a lively beachfront bar with great energy, Ark Bar is the place to be. With DJ sets, fire shows, and a buzzing crowd, it’s the ultimate spot to enjoy drinks by the beach. The vibe is electric, the cocktails hit the spot, and the beachfront setting makes it perfect for both day and night chilling. Great for those who love a fun, social atmosphere with non-stop entertainment!

My coconut soup, I don’t know the tiny name, was not completely cooked. The ginger, lemon grass and other ingredients were still very hard, and the flavors were not blended together as you can see by the side of my bowl. Everything was hard so hard that I could not even eat it. I did drink the coconut soup, but it was not what it should’ve been. They had Japanese cheesecake which ended up not being at all like our American cheesecake. It was more egg and a lot less cream cheese, so I didn’t care for it. The drinks were not great either very little alcohol and a lot of mix. They seemed quickly and cheaply made. I would not come here again for the food, but the fire show is really amazing. You could easily catch the fire show just by walking down the beach. The fire show was great. First they have amateurs coming down the beach doing their thing. Gives them a chance to practice their art, although they’re not as good as actual main show. They are still a lot better than I would be. The main show however is pretty epic and exciting it gets so close you can feel the heat from the fire. It is definitely a tourist trap no doubt as you walk from the restaurant back to the beach. There are shops and spas along the way all set up as a part of the business says a whole. Of course, it gives venders a chance to walk down the beach and try and sell you there goods. For you young people that like the nightlife, you’ll love the bar area if you’re going for the food, I would say go somewhere else.

Ark Bar in Koh Samui was usually quite busy when we went, mostly filled with tourists. Before entering, there are several shops outside selling food, clothes, and even a tattoo studio. The drink prices are fair, and the cocktails were good. The music was a mix of international styles, so there’s something for everyone. The location is fantastic – right on the beach. Ark Bar itself is very large, with a big pool in the middle, several bars where you can order drinks, and even billiard tables. On some nights, you can also enjoy the classic fire show.

Bar
Garnish.Samui is a cocktail bar that offers an extraordinary experience with its creative and visually stunning cocktails. The mixologists are true artists, infusing local ingredients with modern mixology techniques to create unexpected flavor combinations. Each cocktail is designed with stories reflecting the life and culture of southern Thailand. The bar's homely yet modern decoration adds to the overall experience, while the friendly staff are knowledgeable about the cocktails' origins and backstories.
Braved a downpour on a weeknight to check this place out and so glad we did. You won’t find the overly sweet fruit juice mashups that populate most of the tourist menus around Thailand (although, given how friendly and hospitable the staff were, I’m sure they’d make this for you if you asked). Instead you will find a list of very innovative and sophisticated cocktails that are still very much “of a place”. The bartenders here are utilizing a lot of the same techniques, styles, and classic inspirations as many of the top cocktail bars around the world, but still finding ways to incorporate local ingredients or flavor profiles. The result is some very unique offerings. We had several rounds and while some stuck out as favorites, everything we tasted was interesting and well balanced. If you appreciate craft cocktails and want something more than the typical “vacation drinks”, this place is worth going out of your way for. I personally think it could hold its own against some of the top cocktail bars around the world (a handful of which we have been lucky enough to visit over the years). And all that is before we even get into the service and vibes. As mentioned above, we were there on a slow night due to a heavy downpour (was also told elsewhere it was the area’s slow season), yet still had an amazing time listening to some great tunes and chatting with Pok for the better part of an hour. He is an extremely friendly dude who can really geek out over spirits and cocktails (the heavy duty lab equipment behind the bar is a dead giveaway). His enthusiasm is contagious! All-in-all this place had such a great vibe despite the quiet night, rain, and pitch black outside. I can only imagine how awesome it is with a full house, sunset views over the water, and DJ setting the vibe. Check it out if in Samui!

We stumbled upon this place looking for a shop that used to exist in this space, but I’m so glad we did. We decided to grab a cocktail and enjoy the stunning view. The menu is very experimental with odd ingredient pairings, but they worked really well together. I had an old fashioned with parmesan and it was surprisingly great! The interior is also cool. I will definitely stop back in when I’m on the island again.

I've been to this bar 3 times in the past week and every single cocktail I've tried was a wonderful experience.

The bartenders were very helpful and knowledgeable. A must visit when you're in Koh Samui.

Absolutely amazing cocktails!! Randomly found this hidden gem and had the most delicious cocktails of our lives, I fear that Garnish has ruined all other cocktails for me. We came back the next day and almost finished their entire menu! The cocktails are unlike any drink I've had, the flavours are mindblowing. The owner and staff are so friendly and passionate about their craft. This is the place to try cocktails you never dare to try before because it will 100% be delicious. Don't think we had a single bad drink here! A must-go in Koh Samui!! Would come back to Koh Samui solely for this bar. Highly recommend the squid ink, wild B bengal root, and 2 leaf negroni.

This bar in Koh Samui impresses with creative, sophisticated cocktails that skillfully incorporate local ingredients and could easily stand alongside top cocktail bars worldwide. We tried the Miami Vice, the Bees Knees, and the Golden Century — the latter being especially recommended. The owner and our bartender that night, Pok, is a winner of the Bacardi Legacy Global Competition, and his expertise truly shows in the quality and creativity of the drinks. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed and authentic. Overall, a must-visit for cocktail lovers looking for something beyond the typical vacation drinks.

Pepenero Koh Samui is a popular Italian restaurant located in Chaweng, offering an exclusive and cosy atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is known for its authentic Italian delicacies, including classic Bruschetta, pasta dishes, and a selection of high-quality desserts. Guests can also enjoy a variety of Italian wines to complement their meals. The passionate owners and service-oriented staff ensure that visitors have a memorable dining experience at this welcoming location.
We had walked past this place a few days ago and hadn’t thought much of it but it came recommended to us. Tonight we went for a family meal and it was amazing! The food was beautiful, tasty & cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for a good wine selection this this is the place to go to. The owner of the restaurant was very charismatic and talked us through the dishes. The decor is exactly what you would expect from a nice Italian restaurant and the menu has some funny pointers regarding Italian cuisine and culture. There were a few songs that were played to make us laugh and cheer which we all did and at the end of the night, the owner drove us back to our villa as a huge storm had hit. Extremely thankful and how can you top that level of service? Thank you again to everyone at Pepenero for making our last meal in Koh Samui an amazing one 😊

EDITED: I am honestly shocked that the owner threatened to report us for leaving an honest review, calling it defamation. What I wrote was based on my real experience after dining here I became very sick, with stomach pain and vomiting for three days. I shared this so that others can be aware, because food safety should always come first. I would never have left such a review if the manager had cared for us properly. We returned almost all of our food after only trying a few bites of everything, there I realised that the food is not good. no effort was made from the manager to replace the dishes or to reduce anything from the bill. A professional response would have been to take customer feedback seriously, not to intimidate guests who speak about their genuine experience! We came here with very high expectations after it was recommended to us and it turned out to be the worst restaurant experience we’ve ever had. Food quality: Absolutely unacceptable. The tuna tartare was tasteless and watery, the steak was inedible, and the beef tartare was honestly disgusting. The salad was equally bad. We couldn’t eat anything and actually left hungry. We genuinely felt that eating this food could cause food poisoning. Service: The waiter/manager showed no care at all. When we tried to share our concerns, there was no interest, no effort to make things right, not even the most basic gesture like offering to exchange a dish. Value: For this terrible experience, we paid 6,000 THB, which is outrageous for the quality and service we received. We live in Dubai, we travel a lot, This restaurant was beyond disappointing and completely unsafe in our opinion. 👉 We absolutely do NOT recommend this place. Save your money, avoid the risk of food poisoning, and choose anywhere else.

Nice, intimate Italian restaurant right on the ring road just opposite the tracks leading to W hotel, and it's well worth a try. The food was superb. Started with the beef tartare and enjoyed thoroughly their lasagna, spaghetti carbonara, fettucine of porcini mushrooms and a tuna steak. Unlike common western dinners, we shared the dishes to get a taste of everything - and able to confirm all the dishes are so well made and prepared nicely. Service was friendly and attentive from all staff, and the restaurant manager couldnt do more to accommodate. I especially like his thoughtful recommendations to best enjoy the dinner with a variety of different dishes. For desserts, the tiramisu and torrone were enjoyable as well. The prices are above average, but the quality experience nicely reflects it. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in Koh Samui and looking to dine at nice Italian restaurants with attention to quality.

The atmosphere is a feast for the eyes—rich golden tones and colorful details make the place feel like a little hidden gem. We decided on the Royal Thai Set Dinner, and wow, what a feast! Honestly, it felt like it could feed three people instead of just the two of us, but we weren’t complaining. Every single dish was packed with flavor, and the presentation was fit for royalty. It’s such a fun and delicious way to sample a variety of authentic Thai dishes. If you’re looking for a special dining experience in Koh Samui, this is it!

The Shack is a popular steakhouse located in the charming Fisherman's Village of Koh Samui. With its laid-back atmosphere and 'Rhythm n Blues' theme, it offers a unique dining experience. The restaurant prides itself on importing top-quality beef from renowned farms and grilling it to perfection right in front of guests by skilled grillmasters. In addition to an array of meat options, The Shack also provides a variety of sides and other menu offerings for diners to enjoy.
We had seen great reviews for The Shack and decided to try it one night. There was a massive line of people waiting to get in, so I tried to book online with no luck. Toby got back to me by email and said they had some bar seats available. When we got to the restaurant, they were able to fit us on a table. I got the rib eye surf n turf, and my partner got the barramundi steak. We also tried the dirty shack fries and a beef and chicken taco. Everything was exceptional!! The staff were great and the vibes were good. We will definitely be back!

I was expecting a fairly decent steak in this restaurant, since the reviews were very positive. We hands down had the best steaks ever!

At the beginning of our holiday in Koh Samui, we took a stroll into Fisherman’s Village to find somewhere for dinner. With so many restaurants, it was difficult to make a selection but the Shack had a special vibe which made it appeal to us. Though it appeared to be fully booked, the owner welcomed us in and seated us at the bar. Shortly after we arrived a lovely big table became available and we switched places - from no reservation to being seated right in the middle of the restaurant. How accommodating! Despite being very busy, the service is steady and the quality of the food is exceptional. I ordered one of my favourite dishes to start - beef carpaccio and can safely say that it is one of the best I have ever had on account of the quality of the beef which is served in generous portions! Due to the extensive menu, it was difficult to make a choice but my husband and I opted for the steak which comes with a choice of sides and sauces. The steaks were cooked to perfection, the chimichurri sauce is phenomenal and it is very reasonably priced for the amount of food, as well as the quality. The team actively engage with guests throughout their meal checking on their needs and making them feel welcomed. There really is a special vibe which is difficult to find elsewhere. We were so impressed that we returned later in our holiday for a second meal (we never usually do this) and I’m so glad we did! We took our chances again and turned up without a reservation. The planets aligned and a table left upon our arrival. We ordered the special Surf and Turf after seeing it arrive for another customer. A sumptuous feast of steak, scallops, lobster, chips and coleslaw…it was such a memorable meal and another wonderful experience. Huge thanks to the team at the Shack for making us feel so welcomed and for exquisite food.

Well known as the go-to spot on Samui for cuts of beef and seafood, and this place lives up to this title. Friends and I enjoyed virtually all the menus from starters to the mains. I will just mention that the highlight was automatically the steaks, which we enjoyed in three different cuts (should've opted for more). Doneness was consistent with every cuts. The sides were equally enjoyable and plentiful. Another highlight would be the restaurant manager's very own home-made chimichurri sauce - such a surprisingly great add-on to enjoying the dinner. The steamed barramundi was also wonderful, something to complement our only-beef mains. Service nice, welcoming and attentive. Ambiance open-air. The restaurant is tucked in Fisherman's Village bustling zone, so expect some deals of flourishes of people.

Exceptional experience to recommend to anyone who loves French cuisine. The setting is subdued and intimate, ideal for spending a successful time with the people you love. The menu is varied, with very fresh products and mainly French-inspired dishes. I was spoiled by a multi-lane menu, statistically multiplying the risk of missteps, but nothing came of it.

How does one begin rating this place? Do we talk about the cosy atmosphere? Or should we wax eloquent about the amazing hosts - Magali and Patrice - who warmly recommended the best dishes on the menu, stopped over to chat about their life back in France and in Thailand!? Or should we merely stop with expressing how delectable each of the dishes were? From the starter platter to the French wine and potato au gratin sides - everything we ordered was delicious! The roasted goat cheese with cranberry salad combined smoky, sweet and pungent tastes to bring forth a salad that was out of the world. The Ratatouille was flavoursome with the Provencal herbs combining well with the rich tomato sauce. The food not just validates the great reviews you hear about the place but also indicates how passionate the couple is about cooking and running an authentic French experience. The decor is eclectic with bright upholstery and paintings, and a smattering of rustic garden chairs. They have modelled the place on a more casual home environment rather than a restaurant so that you feel snug throughout. Overall - go to this place for a nice romantic evening spiced by exquisite French cuisine.

A fantastic French cuisine you could hardly find in Koh Samui, if not Thailand! The place is cosy and homely. The atmosphere both indoor and outdoor are very romantic.

I could only manage to take some photos under very dimmed light condition so please bear with my photos.

Salt Society, located on Chaweng beach, exudes an effortlessly cool and understated elegance. The generous buffet spread features sections with imported fresh oysters, tiger prawns, crab, and clams. It's a perfect spot for a romantic dinner by the ocean. Guests can enjoy exquisite food and excellent service at resort prices. While some felt that the dessert options were lacking in variety, others appreciated the complimentary lavender sorbet offered after dinner.
This restaurant is truly outstanding! The food was full of flavor and beautifully prepared, and the cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever had — creative, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious.

Had a nice dinner at Salt Society! The restaurant is absolutely stunning - right on the beach with a beautiful, modern aesthetic that’s perfect for dining. The food was tasty and well-presented, and the extensive salt selection was a fun and unique touch. Prices are quite high by Thailand standards, but comparable to what you’d expect in Australia or other Western countries. Definitely worth it for a one-off special dinner, though not something I’d budget for every night. Overall, a lovely spot if you’re looking for a more upscale dining experience in Koh Samui.

Food was average — fries were soggy and not worth the 120 baht charge. The pizzas were regular-sized; we ordered the Sunday special “Fiery Fisherman” pizza, which unfortunately had a slight fishy smell. Taste-wise, it was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. The staff were attentive and proactive, setting up mosquito coils and spraying insect repellent without being asked — a thoughtful touch. They served complimentary bread with beetroot mayonnaise, though the flavor didn’t quite work for me. Thankfully, the melon popsicle at the end was a delightful surprise! I also appreciated the wide range of non-alcoholic drink options — my watermelon and cucumber mocktail was especially refreshing. Prices are on the higher side, but the seaside setting, complete with the soothing sound of waves, makes it a lovely spot for a date night.

Located in the heart of Chaweng, The Islander is a convenient spot for travelers looking to get some work done while being surrounded by the bustling energy of the town. While the internet connection is reliable, the lively atmosphere of the restaurant may require noise-cancelling headphones. The menu offers a diverse range of international dishes, catering to various preferences.
loveee the food here!! we’ve eaten here a few times and keep coming back for the 90 baht cocktails and good home food. had a good cottage pie with veg and their amazing gravy, also a huge portion! And they had a discount on the chicken burger and chips which my partner loved. love the food and drinks here and perfect for when missing the home foods :)

Coming from the UK (Scotland) all you want is pub grub and home comforts. We have been here every single day and often more than once. English breakfasts are amazing ! Heinz beans , proper bacon and sausage etc. they do the best chilli , we’ve had Thai food , massamam curry etc was so so good. The main thing we loved was the roasts , giant Yorkshire pudding filled with chicken or beef. I had chicken kievs and they were unreal too. This place is the cheapest you can get and quality of food unreal, it’s happy hour all day every day. The staff are so friendly. Massive shoutout to LiLi she was the best :) we will come back and recommend to anyone in Samui x

The Islander serves the best roast dinner we’ve had in Thailand with a giant Yorkshire pudding that steals the show. The Thai tapas set for two was just 499 baht and full of flavour. Wish we found this place earlier.

Fun place to have a beer and watch sport. The owner seems accommodating to put in whatever sport you want as there are so many televisions to cast from. Drunken noodle was tasty but the real winner was the spring rolls, they are heaven. Waitresses are attentive and observant.

We just popped in for a few beers, it’s a sports bar so as expected sport was on the TVs. UFC was showing on on TV & football on the other, it wasn’t on loud and you can easily talk. Small Chang was 69 baht, so you can’t really complain 😂

John's Garden is a charming restaurant with cozy seating and attentive service.

Frog and Gecko is a must-visit pub in Bophut, known for its lively atmosphere and great drinks. For a romantic evening, Zazen's seaside restaurant offers an upscale dining experience with a diverse menu featuring French, Italian, and Thai dishes. Le Rouge Lounge is perfect for starting the night with an extensive wine selection. Additionally, Lamai Beach is another hotspot for pub crawls with popular venues like Maya Beach Club and Shamrock Pub offering beachside nightlife.
The Frog and Gecko can be found about 2/3rd up the Walking Street in a Westerly direction, It's a great Bar with great food, as for the food, I consider their Chilli Burger to be the best I've ever had, although, If a little hard to control due to the wooden slab it's served on and being one substantial portion 😄. The staff are very attentive and friendly with a very competent chef. There's a general knowledge quiz on Wednesday nights which, in my limited experience, is normally a sell out and quite entertaining. All in all worth a visit for drinks and food whilst you're in the Fisherman's Village. Please take note that the Night Market has now moved further up the Walking Street with the entrance opposite Coco Tam's.

Wow sushi on a whole other level. i came alone and starving and ate enough for maybe three people it felt like. The sushi and flavor of everything was A1 premium quality. i got a large assortment of styles of sushi and hand rolls and some specialty sushi rolls. Overall i was stunned by the quality but the service and the people working there are so kind and were very kind is recommending me something when i asked. If you are in the area do not sleep on this place. it’s a must stop for an island visit to thailand to get the quality fish.

This is how hospitality should be, this is how presentation should be, and this is how flavor should be. I feel I’ve had the best hospitality experience in a restaurant. This man pays attention to every detail inside and outside the kitchen, listens to requests and suggestions, and truly could teach others how to run a restaurant, welcome guests, and keep them coming back. He even offered me a complimentary item without me asking, a generous gesture from a wonderful person. The taste and quality are unmatched, and Ben is the shining light of this place. Everything was fantastic, and I will return for the great atmosphere, the amazing flavors, and because Ben runs this place.

Don’t order “Phad Kra Praow with Beef”. It tasted like they cooked it with frozen minced beef weeks ago and froze them& microwave to defrost as ordered. So chewy and tasteless that I had to spit out a few times… really disgusting. Pad Thai was okay, chicken Satay was mediocre. Sorry to say this but over all, food wasn’t good at all. Won’t come again.

Pla Pla is located in the four season which is beautiful and has the most stunning views and vibes. After a golf cart drive down you enter the restaurant and greeted with great service. The menu had a solid balance of options i got the hummus and the pesto pasta which was great. The spaghetti ragu my cousin got wasn’t as good but besides that everything else was amazing. The shrimp starter was fresh and tasty with the sauce. Overall was a great vibe and you can see the private beach the ocean and the pool area on the other side. Definitely worth a trip for a fancy dinner or a cute lunch for a date as well. the pricing wasn’t as bad as it could have been, which i was surprised about. roughly 1000baht a head minimum with starter and main.

I wish that I could write a full review for this restaurant but we never got a chance to eat there because of a disconnect within their team. We made a reservation for 3:30 for a birthday celebration lunch. They replied to confirm and ask for any dietary restrictions. While on our way to the property, our driver encountered traffic and we were going to be a little late. We called to alert them of our late arrival and they informed us that they stop taking food orders at 3:30 so we would be moved to the bar which ended up having a very limited menu. Turns out that there was no way that our reservation would have been honored even at our original time. I am dumbfounded as to how I was allowed to make This reservation given that they never could have served us. Our time at the bar was fine but not what I had in mind for a birthday meal. So heads up and double confirm your reservation is you are booking closer to their closing time. FYI the website said they closed at 4 pm which I assumed meant that they wouldn’t seat anyone after that time.

I had an unforgettable experience at Pla Pla in Four Seasons Koh Samui, made all the more special thanks to the warmth and generosity of Mr. Akshay. What started as a solo lunch turned into one of the most meaningful and enjoyable afternoons of my trip. From the moment I arrived, Mr. Akshay made me feel genuinely welcome. He joined me for a portion of the lunch, offering thoughtful company and conversation that felt natural and kind—never forced. His passion for the property shone through in every moment. After the meal, he graciously offered to show me around the beachside and the accessible parts of the property surrounding the restaurant. The way he walked me through the space—with both pride and gentleness—made me appreciate the Four Seasons ethos on a deeper level. It wasn’t just a tour; it was a curated experience that made me consider the soul of the resort. The food, by the way, was nothing short of phenomenal—refined yet comforting. Every dish was prepared with care, balanced in flavor, and beautifully presented. The service staff was attentive without being intrusive, and every interaction carried that signature Thai graciousness. The beachside setting, the sound of the waves, the sunlight shimmering off the sea—everything came together to create an atmosphere that was serene yet vibrant. The breeze, the lush greenery, the pristine layout—it all felt like a glimpse of paradise. Thank you to the Pla Pla team, and especially to Mr. Akshay, for making this a truly special experience. I left with a full heart and a deeper appreciation for the kind of hospitality that Four Seasons does best.

Everything about this place is fantastic. The Mediterranean-style dinner was outstanding, with each dish nicely designed, freshly prepared and full of flavour. The team provided warm hospitality and honored out of the way to make us feel taken care of the rest of the night. One team member, in particular, was attentive and helped guide us through the menu, ensuring we choose dishes cooked to our liking. The food itself was superb. The Atlantic salmon was such a delight, and the desserts were equally delightful. And, to my natural knowledge of the Four Seasons Koh Samui, the attention to detail extended beyond the food to the overall ambiance. The marvelous beachside setting is absolutely secluded, and the restaurant delivers immaculate tropical designs combined with lush plantations. I especially liked the retractable roof that can be activated for shelter when it started to rain. We dined by the terrace, under the pergola. Overall, a superb evening in a such a lovely setting, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an elevated beachside dining experience.

Soi Green Mango, located in Chaweng, is a vibrant nightlife hub reminiscent of the famous Bangla Road in Patong. It's packed with lively gogo bars, girlish bars, nightclubs, and pubs that create an energetic atmosphere with pulsating music. The area is popular among young travelers and party-goers. Named after The Green Mango Club, this spot offers affordable drinks and quality music that attract a fun-loving crowd.
🎉 Lively, Fun, and Packed with Energy Super busy and fun place to party—especially on Saturdays, when the energy is at its peak. It’s a huge venue with plenty of space to dance, move around, and just let loose. The music is mostly throwback/old-school hits, which means almost everyone will find something they love. There are even elevated platforms made for dancing, adding to the fun vibe. Expect loud music and a wild crowd—it’s all part of the experience. Only downside? Cocktails are served in plastic cups, which takes a bit away from the overall experience. But if you’re there to dance and have a good time, it’s a solid choice!

This is a great outdoor club on Koh Samui, popular mostly with tourists—you rarely see locals here. It usually gets busy around 1 AM, with people coming from Ark Bar or other chill spots nearby. The music is okay, but if you come often, you’ll notice they tend to play the same set every night. The dance floor gets pretty crowded, so be ready for that. The atmosphere and decoration are really nice, and the vibe overall is fun. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff is friendly—except for the security, who can be a bit rude. One thing I really appreciate is the clean toilet (seriously a big plus for a club!). If you're looking for a party spot in Samui, this is definitely worth a visit!

Green Mango Club is on of the undisputed kings of Chaweng’s nightlife. Massive, open-air, and always packed, it delivers thundering beats, neon lights, and a dance floor that never sleeps. Two zones keep the vibe fresh: hip-hop and R&B at the entrance, while the main hall explodes with house and EDM until the early hours. The crowd is a buzzing mix of travelers from around the world, fueled by buckets and cocktails that flow endlessly. For those who want a break from the chaos, the upstairs VIP area offers plush seating, bottle service, and a great view over the madness below. It’s loud, wild, and unforgettable—exactly what a Koh Samui night out should be. If you’re looking for serenity, this isn’t your spot. But if you’re chasing the island’s ultimate party, Green Mango is the place.

I love trying new cocktails, and this one is one of the best I have ever had. They offer a very good variety of cocktails, and the staff is attentive. Everyone is so welcoming, and the bartenders take the time to answer every question in detail and ensure we truly ‘experience’ the cocktails. We have been there three times during our very short vacation, and it’s been worth every second. I highly recommend it!

The vibe of this place is really good! The music is amazing and the bartenders are very friendly. The cocktails are on another level, creative, balanced and simply delicious. I felt at home here. The cocktails are of much higher quality than those you find on the beach. I recommend it without hesitation.

Great fresh made cocktails you can see being made from the bar. They have a great happy hour too with some really good offers on classic cocktails. They even have a POOL in the smoking area with bean bag seats. How amazing is THAT!!!

Nestled by a beautiful beach with stunning ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere, Black Rose Cafe is a hidden gem worth discovering. The simple wooden tables and plastic chairs add to the charm of this enchanting spot, where you can enjoy the cool ocean breeze and the sound of birds flying overhead. The handmade decor and unique ambiance make it a special place to relax and savor delicious food and refreshing drinks served by friendly staff.
2 days in a row I've eaten here, absolutely delicious.! Just had chicken green curry and the fragrant flavour is off the scale. 10 yards from the edge of the sea makes this in my opinion the best place to eat on Mae Nam beach. Cheap too !! 🤗👍🏻😎🤩😍

This place is a hidden gem right next to the Maenam viewpoint. Whether you're in the mood for a full meal or just want to relax with a drink. The prices are very affordable, and the atmosphere is super laid-back with a cool reggae-style and local vibe that I really liked. The decoration gives it a unique charm, making it a great place to unwind. It’s also conveniently close to fishing spot, which is a nice bonus. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Black Rose Bar is a hidden gem right on the beach. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze. Prices are great too, soft drinks start at just 30 baht and fresh coconuts are only 70 baht. A wonderful spot to unwind. Great value, great vibes!

The mango sticky rice is really good but may be too pricey for the portion. The location is also in the beach and there are flies and garbage around. Nothing very special about the place but since it is on the beach itself then the vibe is there.

As I passed by this bar/restaurant, the atmosphere was simply enchanting. Every bit of decor is handmade, giving it a unique and charming ambiance. Each table is distinct, adorned with an abundance of signs, positive quotes, and artistic decorations. I settled at the end of a bench, enjoying the calm and quiet surroundings. To be honest, there weren't many people around, but the place exuded a special beauty. In the evening, the addition of romantic lights near the blazing hearths added to the charm. Definitely a spot where you can relish a serene experience. Went for dinner today at this restaurant and while it was very cute, the service is quiet long and the food was tasty. But when you order deep fried food be awake that it quiet hard deep fry. The ships were good.

We had Surf+Turf Barbecue last night (Fish, Prawn and Chicken) and it was amazing delicious! More expensive than normal menus (logically) but really worth the money. The beach bar is really nice and the operating family is friendly and hospitable. Order the BBQ at least one day ahead.

A very interesting trail on motorbike brought us to the end of the beach where we enjoyed a lovely breeze, a couple drinks & some Pad Krapow. The owners have fixed it up nicely with a combination of driftwood, lites & many photo opportunities. Service is great, simple Thai menu & is certainly off the beaten track. We'll return as it is very enjoyable.

Man, this place is one of the least chill "rasta bars" I've ever been to and it's so disappointing. Arriving to crowded and congested seating, we were pushed by both a Chang rep and a Jack & Coke rep who then reluctantly took our order for other drinks. The live music was a mix of Bob Marley, Ed Sheeran, pop hits, and Thai classics. They either sold out or were never legit to begin with :(

When in Chaweng, Thailand, don't miss the renowned Cabaret Paris Follies show. This popular night performance features talented performers adorned in stunning outfits, showcasing their skills in three nightly shows. The cabaret is famous for its beautiful ladyboy performances and is a must-see attraction when experiencing Koh Samui's vibrant nightlife. Enjoy captivating renditions of music by artists like Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga while sipping on cocktails available for purchase during the show.
We spontaneously went to this show and it was the best decision, we had a blast. The show goes for 1 hour but we stayed for all three. It was my Partners birthday and at the end of the show they got her up on stage, sang happy birthday and gave her a free shot. All the performers and servers are so kind we highly recommend.

Loved it! Such a great performance. Everyone was super friendly. I was with my dad who was in a wheelchair. One of the performers help him all the way to his seat. She didn’t have to do it but she did. Super nice. Great costumes as well. Overall we all enjoyed it a lot! Really recommend!

The atmosphere is cheerful and fun! The staff is very friendly, and the drinks are good and affordable, considering that the drink also counts as admission. I saw two shows, both really beautiful and well-crafted. The dancer Dream is excellent, but it must be said that the entire staff—both the dance and the floor staff—help make the evening special. Highly recommended for anyone in Koh Samui looking for a carefree and energetic evening! 🌈✨
Mattia — Google review
The show at Cabaret Paris Follies was alright. Entertaining enough, but nothing particularly memorable. The performers were committed, and the costumes were colorful, though the choreography and production felt a bit dated. For the price, which was on the higher side, I expected a bit more polish and wow factor. Still, it can be a fun way to spend an evening if you're looking for something light and flashy.
Fachri J — Google review
Me and my wife had so much fun yesterday evening! The performance was funny and really entertaining. Also the staff was welcoming and gentle. After serving us the drinks they asked us a tip which, in my opinion, is totally fine considering the amount of dancers, costumes and the cleanliness of the place. I wish to come back again in the future!

The staff here are accommodating and friendly. Although there aren't many tables and chairs inside, you can stand outside while drinking since it's not on the main road. There are pool tables and darts, making it easy to meet new people and make friends. However, I didn't feel like staying long because the music is not very loud, and their cabaret show lasted less than 20 minutes. This place might not be for me, but it could be perfect for others.

Fantastic little gem, tucked away from the hustle of beach road. The staff and owner are all friendly, welcoming and attentive. The venue lays on events through the week, with a guest turn on Saturdays from Divas Cabaret. Well worth the patronage of gay locals and visitors alike to support an important LGBTQ+ venue on Koh Samui. I enjoyed my time here and happy to return always.

KOH Thai Kitchen & Bar is a dining venue located at a resort, accessible by a scenic golf buggy ride across the hills. The restaurant offers stunning views of the ocean, jungle hills, and islands. It provides a fresh take on Southern Thai cuisine with an emphasis on slow-cooked curries and local seafood. Guests can enjoy a variety of East-meets-West breakfast options and delicious Thai specialties for dinner while taking in breathtaking sunset views.
Wow wow wow! I cannot describe how amazing and breathtaking Koh Thai is. From the second they greet you in their waiting area to their shuttle to the top. You feel like you are truly pampered. All the food we had was incredibly delicious. The cocktails were very refreshing and sweet and all the little touches from the potato and taro bites were fantastic. Worth coming here. I was the best meal we had our entire trip to Southeast Asia and I’m still thinking about it.

An absolutely exceptional dining experience! TAH at Four Seasons Koh Samui offers not only perfectly prepared dishes with a focus on freshness and authentic Thai flavors, but also a breathtaking setting. The atmosphere is luxurious yet relaxed, with stunning views of the sea and surrounding nature. The service was top-notch – professional, attentive, and always friendly.

There is truly nothing to fault at Koh Thai. From the very first interaction with the concierge to the moment I left, the service was seamless and soooo attentive. Every member of the team carried such confidence and warmth that made me feel both welcomed and well cared for. The restaurant itself was amazing - the food arrived swiftly, each dish rich filled with authentic flavour and beautifully presented. But what truly elevated the experience were the views: serene, and utterly breathtaking. Dining with the ocean and forest stretching out before you adds a sense of calm luxury that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. This is the kind of place where you absolutely get what you pay for - a polished, high-end experience wrapped in natural beauty. Without a doubt, Koh Thai is the best of the best in Koh Samui. Highly recommend.

Super cute and cozy place with lots of games (including a pool table), a great vibe, lovely funk tunes, delicious authentic Thai food, and… puppies! Had such a great evening there even though it was only a quiet Tuesday during off season. The owners, staff and chef were so nice and engaging and we ended up playing pool together and laughing a lot, while their two puppies were roaming around. The food we had is right up there with the best and most authentic on the island!! We had the spring/summer rolls for starters and the spicy Thai beef salad with herbs and the fried holy basil with pork and rice as mains. Everything was 10/10. Highly recommend this place! Wanna go back, hopefully on one of their live music nights.

The food is the tastiest I've had in Thailand. The starter calamari was very crispy and full of taste and the main food was delicious. The waiters were very polite and the food took about 10 minues to arrive and was fresh.
