I’m going to Chaweng tonight for first time in years

[finy]

Should I get a bus to the Green Mango area?

 

I’m guessing that’s where the majority of restaurant/bars are.

 

It’s so big you can’t really turn up anywhere.

 

cheers

Not much before Solo Bar, so yes get the bus to Green Mango area.

 

Depending on what you are going for. At least from there you can stroll up past where Central Festival fronts on to Chaweng Beach Road. There are some new bars and restaurants from Hooters and Hard Rock.

It's depending where you come from, and how late you want to be in the area – I presume song thaews (Samui-busses) normally stops at 6 pm, and after that time run as taxis without meter (negotiate price, often not cheaper than a taxi).

 

The night-life action area around Soi Green Mango is not bigger, than you can walk; however little exercise if you also wish the check the Soi Raggae (Pub) area.

 

Looking only for restaurants there are multiple choices all along the Chaweng Beach Road from north to south, and also plenty of pubs; whilst bars, if you're thinking of so-called "beer bars", are mainly (a few only) in Soi Sound, next to Soi Green Mango, and soi Raggae (little more).
