Lovely market with nice souvenirs. Not open every day. Looks like it closes on weekends. There is a food market with cheap food, but doesnt look safe. Food is not correctly refrigerated or stored. It is better to eat somewhere more expensive ( at 80-120 baht a thai dish) than eating here and risking food poisoning. Only eat fresh food made from fruits or make sure to look where they store it.

This is a crowded spot for tourists looking to try street food and shop for souvenirs. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement and over buy. Don’t forget to convert from your currency to Thai baht so you will know how much you are actually spending and also be sure to bargain. The asking price is always too much and is negotiable. Try the street food. There were four of us who ate different things on two different occasions and none of us got sick. Just use common sense.

Strolling through the night market at Fisherman's Village is truly an enjoyable experience. The market is dotted with quaint stalls, perfect for picking up unique souvenirs. I'd suggest arriving a tad earlier to avoid the peak crowd and nearby traffic. While some spots provide parking for scooters or cars, it's generally laid-back. Feel free to park your scooter by the roadside without much fuss.

A busy night market, with lots of souvenirs, clothing, hand bags etc....plenty of food options there is something for everyone, my personal favourite Pad Thai, I tried it from 2 different vendors & both were delicious. Plenty of cocktails for 99baht, I had too many margaritas, awesome night with friends. Definitely worth s trip.😎

A wonderful market, one of the best in Thailand. It is good because the variety and quantity of food allows you to enjoy something new every day. Today it's a vegetarian dinner, tomorrow it's an assortment of meat. The market has 2 entrances - the one on the road side offers a row of stalls with cheaper food than the one closer to the beach. The cocktail mafia has taken over almost all the tables, which is not normal even for such a popular island. To properly eat the food you bought, you have to spend time to find a table out of the many free tables, but one where you "can sit". So find a table first, then buy the food. The second disadvantage of this market is the lack of a salad bar, nde you can assemble yourself a bowl with a variety of food. To collect a plate you need to spend time wading through the crowd. Therefore, you should come after 8 o'clock if you want to eat and enjoy the authentic atmosphere of the market. The market also sells many fake items of famous brands of excellent quality, indistinguishable from the original. The market is open on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, opening fully around 5pm.

Really nice area to walk around in the evening. Plenty of restaurants from Thai, Indian to Argentinean Steakhouse. Many shops with clothes and jewelries.

A barrage of colour, smells, and sounds. The market is divided into two sections; merchandise and food. There are many stalls selling an assortment of items from mundane to exotic (elephants carved out of coconuts?). The food section gives one abundant opportunity to dive into the mysterious realm of street food. Abandon inhibitions and dive in! An tropical concoction is a must while examining the options. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting around 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM or so. Friday's can be VERY busy.

Liked this market, can get really busy and the walking alley is really narrow but once you get past the initial stalls it is well spaced out by the time you get to the food market. I had one of the best Pad Thai here, not sure what the place is exactly called but hopefully this photo help. Also the lady selling home made coconut ice cream is worth a try, tasty and a generous portion.

Night Market Fisherman's Village is an amazing place (market street) where to find different gifts and goodies to bring back home, several boutiques (clothes, painting), lots of very good restaurants, massage areas, lots of tailors, etc...). Very nice atmosphere, specially in the evening.

Great place The night market is not every day It is every Mon Fri Wed Sun Strats from 5 p.m. Has many shops, restaurants and cafes

One of the best markets I’ve been in Thailand. You can find everything here, tasty restaurants, food markets and souvenirs (from clothes, magnets, sunglasses, you name it!) The market is only open on certain days of the week, so be sure of which ones before going. Highly recommend!

its about 15-20 minutes ride to the locations (fisherman village). enjoy ride be safe look around. there's a beautiful sunset view from this point and night market as well. many choice and its a street food

Fantastic market. Live music, cocktail stands, soft drinks and as much street food as you can eat.. The pricing is fantastic and there are plenty of bargains to be had. Food prices non negotiable but clothing and souvenirs are all negotiable. Pair of trainers if at 1500bht they won’t let you walk away unless you’re dropping or trying to drop under 1000. I always use a rule of a third 1/3 of their starting price as what I want to take off their top price. To walk away costs nothing and you can always go back after a short period to buy anyway

Excellent destination to spend the evening chilling either drinking or eating in one off the many beach bars or restaurants or walking around looking at the many stalls or shops . It feels extremely friendly and safe where you can unwind and relax.

Koh Samui's premier night market and it certainly gets pretty busy. It's a chilled atmosphere and pretty big however I found the food options, though varied, not of great quality. There was anything from sushi, to kebabs, to pasta, to seafood, to fruits, to desserts but most things didn't look all that appealing. The drink stands including the masses of cocktail stands, did a good trade with all the western tourists frequenting this market. Very convenient market if you are staying in the Bo Phut area, else it's a dark ride home to the areas of Samui.

The stand with grilled pork neck, ribs, beef and chicken is my favorite. I recommend it to all meat lovers. You have to walk straight from the main road entrance almost until the end of the pathway. You’ll see a handsome young guy at the grill, right before the cocktail stands. It’s on the right side, there is only one shop with marinated shrimp after him.

It's a very nice market to experience a lot of street food and even to buy souvenirs. The prices are high for souvenirs but with bargaining you will be able to get it very low. The market is not open every day, it's on alternate days. There are some shops which are open everyday but many small shops are temporarily set up for a day, so those ones keep moving. So try to visit this place on a market day.

It is the best place to spend time in the evening in Koh Samui without any doubt. It is 10 times better than Chaweng main street. It is one km long street which is a pedestrian zone. From whichever side you enter, you will find bars, restaurants, clothes and souvenir shops on both sides beside temporary stalls on the road selling cheap stuff. There are a lot of restaurants serving local and international cuisines. On weekends it's heavily crowded. It's full of life.

If you are like me you will love this night market! Find the stall with the crispy pork with the cracklin on and the shrimp donuts and the rolled ice cream and so much more. There are tables to sit at that you don’t have to buy a cocktail, you just have to ask 👍

Many options and the food I bought tasted actually quite good. My biggest complaint is that I couldn't even sit down to eat my food unless I buy an over-priced drink from the menu. Why is it compulsive to get a drink? Never had that terrible experience anywhere else in Thailand. Just annoying.

We’ve come here quite a lot over the years and the food is still as good ! There is so many options to choose from and it’s all very cheap. Definitely recommend the homemade pasta stall and the porchetta roll :))

Loved this marker really worth the visit a good variety of food especially Halaal options which was great to see. Live music as well although the seating Infront of the stage seemed to be reserved for people who were drinking from the bars. Eating only tables set to one side. Some clothing and other usual market things on sale too. Good prices in general

Great visit on our scooter sightseeing. Easy to find, free parking and entry. Really cool temple with a great view of town as well, they have loads of shops there too

Big Buddha is one of the must see temples in Samui. It is clean and well kept. There are stalls selling clothes (remember this is a place of respect, show some and cover up, it'll be appreciated) other stalls selling drinks, food etc. Parking can be tricky. The stairs are not too bad, small and not steep. The view is beautiful.

Amazing place to see different types of Buddha Statues. I was totally mesmerised by seeing those beautiful statues of Lord Buddha. Also we can buy so many souvenirs from there, if you want to have memories of your travel. I couldn’t tell which one of Lord Buddha statue is amazing. All of them were so beautiful. The main Lord Buddha in the front is so huge and it shines when Sunlight hits. Amazing to watch Thailand culture.

Beautiful! It was super nice to see this temple. The Buddha is huge and beautiful! It is also free entry which is nice. There are a lot of cute shops around too. The view from the top is amazing! It’s super hot in the direct sunlight so I would recommend going earlier in the morning or in the afternoon :)

A must visit spot if you are in Koh Samui. This big Buddha statue overlooks the island and is a must visit spot for tourists looking to witness some culture while in Samui. If you happen to visit on a clear sky day during the golden hour, you can see a beautiful sunset here.

Very beautiful but small temple. The view over the sea is beautiful. As are the statues and temples. Down next to the stairs sits a monk, who wishes you good luck. Entrance is free. There are several market stalls found in the square at the bottom of the temple.

Wow, so beautiful! One can easily spend a day here, so peaceful and beautiful. The grounds are impeccably clean. Nice areas to sit, take in the views or meditate. Definitely recommend a visit.

A beautiful golden Buddha on the island. From there you also have a beautiful view and there are also a few restaurants in front of the temple. It is worth visiting the Buddah briefly, because it doesn't take much time to see everything. But as with all temples, you should think of long clothes.

It is one of the main attraction in Koh Samui. This beautiful 40 feet tall statue was built in 1972 on Koh Fan island which was attached to Koh Samui subsequently. Buddha is religious GOD of Thai culture. One should dress properly before visiting. A little respect is expected. If you sit quietly for few minutes then mind becomes very calm in this serene ambiance.In the afternoon the steps become very hot. There are quite a few souvenir and local food stalls nearby in the temple complex. Not to be missed...

I really enjoyed my visit here. I was not expecting much but, positively surprised once I arrived. The temple itself is beautiful and spans across multiple levels. At the top where the large Buddha Statue is situated you have a nice view of the surrounding area. Around the temple there are some souvenir shops and small kiosks and cafes to get some refreshments.

Beautiful place to visit and take some pictures. We made an offering of flowers and lit a candle, great to have a quiet moment and contemplate. View is also amazing when you are up at the Golden Buddha.

Interesting smaller temple. You need to take your shoes off in order to ascend the steps, which can be on the uncomfortable side on a hot day. It is a flashy style with many flowering trees on site. There is some shopping next door for trinkets of all types. This is an active temple so be respectful of the locals who come for blessings from the Monks. There is an interesting water feature / fountain out front which depicts deities fighting crocodiles amongst other things; its kind of a wild scene if you ask me. I would steer the kids away from it if I had brought family along. I did not see any restrooms on-site, however I might be mistaken.

The Big Buddha Temple has the most enormous Buddha in Ko Samui. They had lots of visitors today when we were there. The temple looks beautiful, and the Big Buddha sits solemnly on the high platform. So many people are going up the stairs to pay respect to the Big Buddha.

Super cool place, not a TON to see but the giant Buddha is definitely something you should check out if you have the chance. Follow me on IG for more and send me a DM to say hi @nick.s.schafer

Tourist attraction, which you can already see from all the shops! Otherwise nothing special, I saw it 26 years ago! Nothing has changed

For some reason it was very difficult for me to get to the beach, Google maps was taking me through resorts which felt weird? The beach wasn’t too packed, the water was warm and clear - very clean too, no rubbish. The sand was super soft and white. Very annoying people trying to sell stuff to you multiple times in a row, even after you said no…

Devastated. Beach gone when its high tide. Dirty! Trash along the coast in particular where hotels and bars had to give up. Look for the details in my fotos. Local community do not care apparently. Chaweng town: Only a handful (literally) of bars and restaurants open. Dirt in every corner. So disappointed. Not worth coming this season.

Amazing beach where you can find everything you need. Jetski and many other water activities, Thai massage, small chilled beach bars, big Party beach clubs, fire show,... It's not crowded at all so you will always find a nice spot to roll-out your towel. No idea how people can complain about this beach. For sure you might find some trash or hotels that have shut down due to covid. You should start to appreciate the good things in life.

Clean and comfortable beach strip, at the heart of Chaweng. Clean water and it wasn't very crowded in June. Plenty of beach side drinks places, Jet skis for rent, and other attractions.

Wonderful white sand beach with very warm water. Enjoy some cocktails with your feet in the sand there with the many bars along.

Chaweng Beach boasts an expansive shoreline, providing ample space for leisurely strolls. With a diverse array of restaurants and bars lining the beach, visitors can indulge in a wide range of culinary experiences. Additionally, the availability of sunbeds ensures a comfortable and relaxed beach experience for those looking to soak up the sun.

I came to explore for a few minutes and ended up staying the entire day. One of the several beaches around Koh Samui.. And as I have come to learn in Thailand.. you need to find your own magic beach that makes your soul sing.. Chaweng Beach is mine. Clear blue waters, white powdery sand and small fish swimming in the shallows.. palm tree fringed and dotted with several resorts and near by shopping perhaps makes this one of the more popular and best beaches around as well. What's great is the reef further in that acts as a kind of breaker for the bigger waves.. translating into a gentle lapping on the beach. Now if you find your perfect beach club, and have some drinks on hand, and cool tunes drifting over the water.. and the odd aircraft flying over (for take off of touch down at Samui Airport) you pretty much described Chaweng beach. On the eastern side of the island, sunrise is guaranteed to be pretty awesome on this beach. Come see for yourself.

Beautiful beach where you can get anything you need to relax and have fun. Thai massage, plenty of bars to have drinks, water sports, Jet-ski. Water is clear and you can swim here as lots of other people would be doing. It’s a great beach for swimming and also plenty of street food stalls are there.

Probably the most crowded beach in the island. Hotels and resorts along the beach front. Loud music night and even in the morning. Sunrise is beautiful here. The only time that is a bit quiet. Golden sand but narrow beach.

I have seen two sides of this beach. To the north when there is low tide the beach gets very dirty ( because of the natural barrier at the sea, causes the water to get stagnant) and the south part that was always clean. There are some natural debries on the sand ( wood and canes) but nothing that skocked me. In general it's a pretty good beach.

A looong beach with clear turquoise water,with many clubs and beach bars.It may seem too much at the fist glance but there is place for everyone - even if you are looking for a quiet spot to lay down on your towel and read a book you can find it there.And of course if you are looking for fun and action you came to the right place😉

Arguably still the best beach for swimming and easy beaching on Samui. No rocks, shallow sandy shore, and enough trees for shelter. Particularly the very South end (with the little boat harbour) is calmer and nice to sit under the trees. But be careful and watch out for jellyfish - this is a notorious hotspot!!

Beautiful beach with clear water and fine sand. Sea is calmer on the north side. Many resorts with direct access. Great for swimming, paddling and kayaking. Unfortunately like many other Thai beaches be careful with wave runners when practicing water sports (not as bad as in other places but still an annoyance)

It's nice but some parts are full of trash...even used syringes among the trash...come on ko samui, why don't u clean this mess???

Coming to Koh Samui for years and I can't believe the changes. The main tourists to the island now are young families with young children and nothing their for them. Chaweng main road now has turned into one big weed store. Every second shop now is weed in between a restaurant or massage shop. Everything is far more expensive then Europe

Good range. High prices same as H&M, but at least they sell lightweight fabrics suitable for the local climate

Good quality linen which is what you would expect from Uniqlo. Store was clean and easy enough to find what you are after. Did not get greated or approached during entire time. Pricing is good as the quality is good, standard Uniqlo store.

I'm very disappointed with their return policy. I bought a pair of XL stretch shorts a few ago and the stitching became loose after one washing. I tried to get a refund or store credit and the management refused. I was a loyal customer in the past but I will shop elsewhere in the future.

Priced ✅

The place has everything you need from UNIQLO. The place is new and well organised and the staff are tgere to help whenever you need them. Plus, there's a tax refund if you want.

Unfriendly grouchy woman working in the fitting rooms. Worst uniqlo experience in Thailand.

High quality clothes, this brand is just stunning!

just walking by, the same style compare to beijing

Great clothing store

Very good beach. Great soft white sand, with warm and shallow clear blue water. Had a great time sitting by the beach.

Good points: - quiet and family friendly beach. Not at all crowded, it was a pleasant surprise. - warm and calm waters, the beach is in a bay so it’s protected from choppy seas. No jelly fish or algae. - good choice of choice of restaurants and massage places for reasonable prices and no one with really hassling you. Neutral points: - the water is not crystal clear but this is not because it is dirty, it is because of the sea floor. I didn’t see better water elsewhere but I’ve only seen the northern beaches, no the east coast.

Great place it has a white soft sand. and has a sea breeze nice beach bars and restaurants, one of the best beach for me. and Sun-beds and Umbrellas are all available. I love the litle piece of this Paradise. Feel the Nature

Très belle plage qui mériterait un coup de propre, morceaux de verre dans le sable, canette de bière dans l'eau, l'incivilité des humains détruit ces beaux paysages. C'est dommage. Sinon c'est une plage calme, peu touristique, familiale, sable fin. (Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach which deserves a clean, pieces of glass in the sand, can of beer in the water, the incivility of humans destroys these beautiful landscapes. It's a shame. Otherwise it is a quiet beach, not very touristy, family-friendly, with fine sand.

By all accounts one of the worst beaches we've been to in all of our travels. The beach itself is not very big, so there isn't really anywhere to layout beyond using one of the resort chairs. The water was murky and hardly the crystal clear aqua you see in pictures. More importantly the beach was covered in trash and was absolutely vile. All the pictures online suggested it was an incredible oasis, but in reality it was dingy and dirty. Bottles, netting, and other plastic trash was strewn across the beach and there were no trash cans anywhere in sight. I would not recommend this beach.

White sand soft like flour, sea breeze, nice beach bars and restaurants. Couple of islands on the horizon, lots of water activities and beach massage places. Sun-beds, umbrellas, all available. Little piece of paradise with new luxury resorts being built around. You will not mistake to stop by here.

Nice small, quiet beach. A bit of the way but perfect if you’ve got a motorbike or car. White, fine sand and clear water. It’s got a few beach bars which offer you their sun beds if you buy some drinks. A bit of a shame the anchor so many boats in the middle of the bay since they spoilt the view in my opinion.

Nice beach. Nice and calm. U can rent a beach chair for free if u purchase food or drink. We didn't know this and paid 400 baht for 2 chairs and 2 towels without any food or drink. We will know for next time.

So this hotel is managed by a dust till dawn manager named “Apple” . She is most certainly a micromanager who is almost entirely devoted to customer service . The rooms are not overly fancy but clean and more than reasonable for the price. For the price the the hotel is a great deal. Clean, nice pool, easy access to the beach , etc. Only area I’d ding them on is service in the restaurant. They’re not overly attentive , though this is pretty normal for the island and you are on vacation so maybe just chill a bit eh?
