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 are a "party animal". Chaweng Beach Road is 6-7 km long, so it may be wise to consider a taxi if you are going between two places. Remember to always negotiate the price before you enter the taxi so you don't end up in a minor scam situation.
The two largest discotheques or clubs in Samui is called Green Mango (located on Soi Green Mango, in central Chaweng) and the Reggae Pub (Situated behind Chaweng Lake in central Chaweng).
Live music and live performances is commonly seen on the Irish pub Tropical Murphy's (central part of Chaweng Beach Road) and Coco Blues Company (the northern part of Chaweng Beach Road).

If you would like to enjoy 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 in north of Chaweng, overlooking the Chaweng lake. Not that cheap, but nifty and trendy if you enjoy the jet set style of hanging out.
The Nightlife in Lamai
Lamai's nightlife is not at all as intensive as in Chaweng, but there are a lot of bars and a couple of smaller nightclubs and English pubs found here as well. We would like to recommend Fusion and Seed, which both are located in central Lamai.

The Nightlife elsewhere
The other beaches do not offer that intense nightlife, but smaller bars and pubs can be found almost everywhere on the island.
If you feel to have a romantic evening with your partner, we would recommend a romantic dinner at one of the northern beaches; Bo Phut (Fisherman's village), Choeng Mon or Maenam. Do you prefer a beautiful sunset as a background, it is the beaches on the west coast you should head for. BBC Restaurant at Lipa Noi is a cozy place, with a stunning sunset when the weather is ok.
Bar girls
Prostitution is present in almost all parts of Thailand, and also on Koh Samui. However, the phenomenon is mainly confined to a few bar areas in Chaweng and Lamai. If you want to avoid these areas, it is no problem at all.
Prostitution is formally illegal in Thailand, but still fairly widely accepted. However, it is strictly forbidden to buy sexual services of people under eighteen years of age and this can result in a very significant term of imprisonment.
Do not forget to venereal diseases (STD) including HIV and AIDS also are present on Koh Samui. We urge everyone to be careful and not to get anything unwanted with you home.
