Food Scene

Amazing views and seafood but not cheap, great for a one off 'splurge' or a special occasion. They also do great Tapas in the evening.

Do book in advance and be prepared for a drive up a very steep hill to reach Jungle Club. If you’re on a scooter then it will only cope with the hill with 1 person on the bike. Or, make an afternoon of it and grab a taxi to get there. Excellent food and amazing views of the north east tip of the island.

Super place for breakfast or lunch, KOB has great menu with excellent coffee. It's a regular hang-out for me when I am on the island - a must try is the brown fried rice with crispy pork belly along with any of the freshly made fruit and vege juices! KOB also has an excellent bakery with fresh pastries and artisan bread made daily.

Probably the best supermarket on the island and has lots of choice for visitors to Samui. Tops also have a great bakery and delicatessen counter, offering a good selection of cooked food that can be eaten in or as a takeaway. Tops also stock a limited range of coffee capsules suitable for the villas Nespresso machine. Tip - Also try Macro if you need to bulk buy veg/groceries (cash only).

O'mart is located in Bangrak, just few minutes drive from the villa. Offering a great selection of wines and spirits as well as a small selection of western products that can be difficult to find in the bigger supermarkets. If you don't find what you're looking for here then dry Bangrak Minimart which is on the main beach road through Bangrak.

Chilled vibe beach bar in Fishermans village. Good music and a reasonable cocktail selection in a stunning setting overlooking Koh Phangan . Check out the VIP areas (min spend thb1000) as these offer better views.

Trendy beach club that recently opened in Bangrak, gets very popular at weekends. Nice cocktail menu and stunning views towards koh phangan, the music (chilled house) can be fairly loud in the late afternoons so not really the place for you if you’re looking for peace and quiet!

Consejos para la ciudad

Qué debes empacar

Casual is best!

Samui is generally very laid back, with very few restaurants or hotels having a dress policy. Light casual clothing is the best option year-round, and if you're visiting in the wetter months, then it's a good idea to bring a light rain jacket. If you plan on renting a scooter when you're on the island then also think about bringing some sensible footwear that will protect your feet if you suddenly need to stop! We have a washing machine at the villa which you're welcome to use so laundering clothes is easy during your stay with us.
