Koh Samui night markets

The Koh Samui night markets, or what the locals call them, the walking streets happen at various places around the island usually starting at around 5 pm. They sell everything here such as electronics, clothing, souvenirs and food and generally you will see the same stalls at each market, run by the same people.

The Koh Samui night markets are a great way to spend the evening and most nights you will be able to find one around the island.

Chaweng – Here there is a market open mostly every night opposite the Chaweng lake just past central festival. In the day time you will also find stalls open everyday along the beach road.

Wednesday

Choeng Mon – outside Muang Samui hotel.  Miniature floating market theme.  Open from 5 pm onwards along both sides of the main road, roads are not closed to traffic.  Quite a good variety of food and goods for a small village Market and worth a visit if you are in the area

Thursday
