There are many options for people that are interested in going out when coming to Samui.
Chaweng
Chaweng is the beach on Koh Samui where you will find most bars, discos, clubs and pubs. This is where you should head if you feel like a party. Chaweng Beach Road is 6-7 km long and is packed with pubs, bars, clubs and restaurants both on the beach front and the opposite side.
Live music and live performances is what you can enjoy among other things on the Irish pub Tropical Murphy's (central part of Chaweng Beach Road) and Coco Blues Company (the northern part of Chaweng Beach Road). Would you like to have a drink or a beer in the relaxed environment, we can recommend Brazilian Zico's with samba dance performances in the bar (found in southern Chaweng, near Soi Colibri). Fashionable Q-Bar is a nightclub located high on a slope, north of Chaweng. Approximately twice as expensive beer than in "simpler bars", but trendy and nifty if you appreciate that.
Cabarets
The most famous (and best) Cabaret in Samui is Christy's Cabaret. "Ladyboys" can be seen all over Thailand, and this is a full on show where they mime to various famous icons. You will be amazed over the quality of the show and is absolutely recommendable. Entrance is free, but expect eager waiters to sell you cocktails throughout the show.
Green Mango ClubOne of Koh Samui's largest nightclubs. Many dance floors, bars, pool tables and TV screens with live sport or other programs.
Reggae PubOne of the most famous nightclubs on Koh Samui. Many international DJ´s play their music here.
Nikki Beach / Lipa Noi
Nikki beach which recently opened in Samui (located not too far from the villa) is the place to be if you want a taste of the Miami life. Nikki Beach Samui boasts a Sunset Terrace Lounge, signature opium beds, and more.
Expertly designed for ultimate relaxation complimented by a sophisticated ambiance, Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Koh Samui brings the vibrant nightlife of Miami to the shores of Lipa Noi Beach where guests can enjoy fabulous entertainment, world-class service and gourmet cuisine.
The Nightlife in Lamai
Lamai's nightlife is not at all as intensive as in Chaweng, but there are a lot of smaller bars and a couple of discos / nightclubs there as well. Some recommendations are Bauhaus, Fusion and Seed, which all are located in central Lamai..
The Nightlife elsewhere
Other parts of Koh Samui is much calmer in the evenings and nights, but smaller bars and pubs can be found in most places where there are people. If you feel to have a romantic evening with your partner or taking the family out, there are many choices, such as Bo Phut (fisherman's village), Choeng Mon and Maenam. Do you prefer a beautiful sunset as a background, it is the east cost beaches that you should head to. BBC Restaurant at Lipa Noi is a cozy place, with a stunning sunset at the fine weather.
The Full Moon Party
There are about 10,000-20,000 people every month at this Koh Phangan beach party which is a nearby Island to Koh Samui. International and Thai DJ's play here and expect the party to last all night into the early hours. Transport can be arranged directly from the Villa beach by the villa manageress.
The DJ's play all kinds of music; techno, trance, goa, drum n' bass, dub, reggae, "commercial hits", house etc on about 15 sound systems along Haad Rin beach. There are also many small tables on the beach where you can sit down with your friends or meet new ones from all parts of the globe. You can order drinks and food from the restaurants and the bars next to the Had Rin Nok beach.
an incredible villa where an amazing time was had by amazing people.
An unbelievable house in the most incredible setting. You won't find a better place to go on holiday.
Breathtaking. Heavenly villa, with kind, obliging staff and delicious food. A really great holiday experience.
A beautiful house in a stunning setting - the perfect holiday place for any age with lots of things to do. The food was incredible and staff very welcoming.
This is the perfect setting for any family or group of friends. The combination of privacy and diversity within the lodging makes for an unbeatable stay, topping anywhere across all the legendary islands that Thailand offers. In addition, fresh produce laid onto the tables everyday at request or by the chef's personal recommendations really make you feel like you would never want to leave, purely because of the food! The open plan style of the lodging complements the weather wonderfully with hot breezes flowing through the property. If you are not satisfied with the pool area, you can just step out onto the beach which is of a very high standard. Truly a must.
Beautiful villa, fabulous helpful staff and delicious food. You just leave it all to them and nothing is too much trouble. A great relaxing holiday in a truly lovely place.
A private Aman in miniature!
If you want the perfect getaway to relax, spend time with friends and experience sensational thai food then Baan Tao Talay is the the one and only villa to choose... From the attentive and friendly staff to the beautiful setting of the Villa - it has everything you could possibly want... I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone wanting a holiday where you are looked after impeccably whilst enjoying stunning surroundings... 2010's MUST visit....!
I absolutely loved my stay at Baantaotalay. The villa is located in the most stunning setting with pool, private white beach and an amazing view out to sea..what more could you ask for. The staff were so nice, helpful and did everything for us, from booking massages to providing delcious cocktails for us every night. The food was scrumptious and you could have anything you wanted from the strongest curry to spag bol! What a great holiday it was, would defintely go back.
What a place. We had the best time over new year. The house was comfortable and well designed, the beach perfect for swimming, walking and relaxing (in the bunker !!) and above all Joy and team were the best hosts. Baantaotalay is a great spot - i would recommend it to ANYONE. Thinking about it now whilst sitting at my desk in dreary old London is almost enough to make me consider quitting my job and jumping on a plane to Thailand....its that good.
The beautiful villa and stunning setting makes Baan Tao Talay the perfect getaway for holiday with friends. We were looked after beautifully and the food was simply delicious. New year 2010 will definately not be forgotten and i hope i will be returning very soon!
BB is Paradise. The service is better than the Four Seasons, the food is better than anything I have ever had and the godess from above 'Joy' makes the whole holiday totally perfect. Spend some time in the Bunker watching the sunset, drink rum punches, light the lanterns, watch the fireworks and head to the 5 Islands for Lunch. Have never been somewhere so special and comfortable as this - Jo and David Forbes have impeccable taste and style.
What a wonderful villa - beautifully done up, could not have been more perfect. Joy and her team made our stay so relaxing and nothing was too much trouble. It was complete luxury and an ideal way to see in the New Year. Wishing I could be back there right now tucking into a delicious rum cocktail!
Such an amazing Place, wonderful food and Such a pretty house.
We are lucky enough to be going back next month.We first stayed in 2007.I remember an amazing,luxurious,and totally unique place.
I simply cant wait to return.
We have just spent a week in this house, having been to Phuket which was also wonderful, but this is absolute heaven. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, delicious food and the most perfect setting. The house also provided a boat which took us to the most amazing deserted islands with beautiful beaches. We are definitely coming back!

There is no point going to an Aman as this is much better !
This place is a gem. Jo and David's attention to detail is way out of the ordinary. Beautifully decorated coupled with supreme comfort.The staff and cuisine are faultless. It has the ultimate accessory, a white sandy beach with turquoise sea at the end of the garden.
Ps. Add to cart!
If I only had the money I would buy this wonderful villa.
K Joy and all the staff were simply amazing and I hope I might get invited back...otherwise I will have to pay !
I had the most wonderful relaxed time ...Staff and the massage simply perfect. Coming back soon..(I hope !)

I took the house for 11 perfect days in May and we had the most idyllic time imaginable. This really is a stunning house - wonderfully indulgent in its comfort and luxury and yet immaculately tasteful at the same time. The setting on the beach is fabulous, where we took in the sunsets every night with mojitos in hand!
Perhaps the best thing are the wonderful staff - always charming and smiling, they made sure our glasses were full all day long (whether in the pool, on the beach or watching films!) and spoiled us with delicious authentic thai food all week.
All in all a perfect holiday, and I will definitely be coming back!
You will be hard pushed to find a more beautiful and relaxing hide-away anywhere in the world. Baan Tao Talay epitomises the word luxury. Amazingly comfortable, unforgettable food and 7 Star service. I have just come back from an 11 day holiday and am getting withdrawal symptoms already. If you have the chance to go to this little pocket of heaven and you don’t go, you are a fool!
Baan Tao Talay well caters for all ages, events and interests and I cannot recommend a stay at this luxurious, beautiful house highly enough. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and there are simply too many positive elements to list in this tiny box!
The house is absolutely stunning and provided our 10 man group with the perfect holiday hide away. The staff could not have been more delightful and helpful. The team, led by a highly competent manageress, made us feel so welcome and well looked after; they made every effort possible to ensure that we had the most perfect holiday.
Amazing!!!!
Baan Tao Talay simply knocks the spots off almost anywhere we have ever visited. Joy, Dao, Mai and Oi made our honeymoon incredibly special... rose petals in the bath-tub, 'shrimp look like bird' and flawless service. Every meal was unforgettable, the beach, which we had all to ourselves, was almost cliched it was so gorgeous and the villa had such character. Very tough to leave!
