Gay Koh Samui does not have the sort of nightlife you can expect from Bangkok or Phuket, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. There are a number of smaller gay bars and fun cabarets, as well as a wealth of gay-friendly high-end bars and a couple of mixed nightclubs. There are no Gay go-go bars on Koh Samui.
If you are looking to explore Gay Samui nightlife then check out Gay Point Bar, Pride Bar Samui, and K Club. The island has no gay nightclubs but there are a couple of mixed clubs. The most club popular with gay locals is Sweet Soul Nightclub, but you can also check out Sound Club and The Green Mango Club.
Most of Koh Samui’s gay nightlife is concentrated in the resort town of Chaweng.
Beer is big in Thailand. The biggest local brands are Chang, Leo, and Sighna. Red Bull’s roots are also in Thailand but note the original/local version is not carbonated (no fizz or bubbles).
For something stronger, the Thai classic has to be SangSom. Confusingly it’s often sold as “Thai whiskey” but is actually rum, distilled from sugarcane. SangSom is also the main component of Thailand’s notorious “buckets of alcohol.”
