Black Club – inside – is the hot place right now, but don't expect all the gorgeous looking chicks are all interested in aliens...????

 

The Beach Bar in Chaweng Noi is another option, when they are open.

Otherwise you can go to Dreamland, or Old School Bar, or Ma-Ha-Tea; but you might need to be Thai-speaking to have a chance for a date...????

 

If you wish date in exchange of baht, then there are plenty of karaoke bars all over the island – but Thai men like to make face with money, so don't be a Cheap Charlie, if you wish "good looking girls"...????

Just go in, sit down, lit up a fat cigar with a 1,000 baht bill. The rest should be easy. But you'll need a lot of these big bills to burn on them.

If you like empty beaches and empty resorts and empty anything then Samui is the place for you !!!

The roads are not empty though ...

Sounds like bliss to me.

 

If it's that bad the staff might actually care about the few customers they do get. I finally gave up on Chaweng when the staff became rude to customers and moved my holiday visits to Phanang where they were still friendly and not just looking to rip farangs off for as much as possible.

Not much, if anything at all, going on at Chaweng's beach road, but 7-Eleven by Soi Green Mango is open.

 

A few of the beachfront resorts have reopened with full service, perhaps 10-15 percent of them.

 

There are some restaurants open in Central Festival, but also many closed, especially those aiming on mainly tourists as customers.

 

Other areas on Samui are much more lively than Chaweng and Lamai – and also with open bars and pubs – and plenty of restaurants open. Driving on the Ring Road in the evening it seems almost all open from Nathon to Bo Phut, I just did the trip today.

 

However, if you are looking for nightlife like Chaweng's, you need a transport to get to there. It's hard to predict what will happen this New Year, or rather where people will head out for a countdown, but Ark Bar might be a good suggestion, if it's fine weather.

 

Take for example a look at Bang Rak, Fisherman Village, and Maenam Beach. W in Maenam might also arrange parties – little high-end – I often hear their music in week-ends.

Thx for sharing some pictures!

bearing in mind that it's usually lower than low-season in November and first half of December on Samui – in older time were many resorts and venues simply closed, I remember Reggae Bar closed during that period – then it seems like the number of visitors are not that far from "normal" during the monsoon-season...

Well noted. I am amazed that anything is open on Samui this November. As you mentioned. Not that long ago many busines owners would shut up shop for November.

November villa bookings are down a tad (25% down on previous months) but December is looking busy again.

I have just realised that I have heard these guys. They are good.

 

They play jam sessions at Godang in Chaweng. I have heard them there a couple of times. Not head banging music (luckily) but a wide variety of styles.

Great updates guys, especially Khun Per. I'm looking forward to me trip on 23rd. I guess there will be a mini surge of visitors, so should be able to have a few fun nights.

 

Is anywhere advertising for a half decent Xmas day dinner? I don't mind (actually, I would fancy) a traditional carvery in an Irish or British style pub, rather than a fancy (half cold) buffet. Any options? Need to book?

Depends on where you are staying.  I can only talk about the area where I live.

The Shakespeare in Plai Laem/Bangrak will probably be doing Christmas dinners. Traditional and non traditional food. Busy for roast Sunday dinners and busy on Fridays for Fish and Chips.

Small, friendly, not expensive pub.

It has been open all through Covid. Quiet most other nights.

Check them on Facebook and Tripadvisor.

Joe does an interesting chicken tikka massala pizza and a very good fillet steak. (Book that one.)

The Melia in Choengmon has been open since the major re-furb and re-branding. (Was the Imperial Boat House.)

They have been offering Sunday brunches and are popular with locals and other hotel managers. They may be doing a Christmas lunch

Oh dear, just when things were looking up for "the soi". So the overflow of revellers will spill over to....???

The next few days or weeks will show – the outdoor pub seems to have survived, but it's a question if the will reopen. It's rumored that someone were died inside the building.

More in this thread...

My staff have already booked tables. Expect a sell out.

Comparing to the last number of Carabao concerts I've been attending on Samui, I would expect GMC to be a way too small a place, with a queue line all way around the corner of soi Green Mango and down the beach road; Carabao is not a tourist attraction, it's mainly Thai crowd...
