Coco Tam's

Tambon Bophut Fodor's Choice

The place to be in Fisherman's Village, Coco Tam's is reliably packed on a nightly basis. The formula is simple, but effective with ample beach seating available in the shape of beanbags and giant cushions. Attentive staff roam the sand dishing out reasonably priced cocktails and decent bar fare including pizzas by Peppina: a big noise in Bangkok's pie game.

Ark Bar

Chaweng Noi Beach

One of Samui's original nightlife venues on the beach, the Ark throws a free barbecue every Wednesday around sunset.

The Islander Pub & Restaurant

The many large-screen TVs at this popular place broadcast Thai, Australian, and Malaysian programs—lots of sports—and there are pool competitions and quiz nights.
