time, the live music kicks on and this place turns into the most popular Irish bar on Ko
Samui (yes, there are a few).
Green Mango
(Hat Chaweng)
This place is so popular it has an entire soi named after it. Samui's favourite
power drinking house is very big, very loud and very
fa·ràng
. Green Mango has blazing
lights, expensive drinks and masses of sweaty bodies swaying to dance music.
BAR
Reggae Pub
(Hat Chaweng)
This fortress of fun sports an open-air dance floor with music spun by foreign
DJs. It's a towering two-storey affair with long bars, pool tables and a live-music stage.
The whole place doubles as a shrine to Bob Marley.
BAR
Northern & West Coast Beaches
Woo Bar
(Mae Nam)
The W Retreat's signature lobby bar gives the word 'swish' a whole new mean-
ing with cushion-clad pods of seating plunked in the middle of an expansive infinity pool
that stretches out over the infinite horizon. This is, without a doubt, the best place on
Samui for a sunset cocktail. On Monday nights get two-for-the-price-of-one mojitos.
BAR
Nikki Beach
(

;
Lipa Noi)
The acclaimed luxury brand has brought its internation-
al
savoir faire
to the secluded west coast of Ko Samui. Expect everything you would
from a chic address in St Barts or St Tropez: haute cuisine, chic decor and gaggles of jet-
setters. Themed brunch and dinner specials keep the masses coming throughout the
week, and sleek bungalow accommodation is also on offer.

BAR
(Bo Phut; shisha pipes 500B)
Plop yourself on a beanbag on the sand, order a giant cocktail
served in a jar and take a toke on a shisha (water pipe). It's a bit pricey, but this boho,
beach bum-chic spot oozes relaxation. There are fire dancers most nights.
