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.

You should ask a Thai person this question who lives there.

 

   They have their own places with cheap and good looking girls, foreigners seldom get the chance to see. 

I would urge caution if you follow this plan. The Thai men might not appreciate farangs coming into their secret hideaway, flashing the cash ????

Saturday Night Fever-update...

 

The restaurant with heavy live-music on the corner of Chaweng's beach road and Soi Green Mango – I think it's called "Palms" – was closed, probably not enough customers. So no activity before Hush, and later the Green Mango Club, that has reopened. From Friday nights fairly loaded rap-party, there was excellent space for Saturday dance-fever, some customers, but it was not overcrowded.

 

If you're into good live music – reggae and rock – then in Soi Sound, the alley next to Green Mango, the Chica Locanda is open. And 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...

20201122_wIMG20201122-Chicalocada-co.jpg.df50e63974f37d7482763259841b4c81.jpg

 

There are a few bars open in Soi Sound, but it's changing. Some reopened bars have closed again, whilst others are still open, and have both ladies and customers.

 

The amusement activities are in the back, not by the beach road – except the Friday-Saturday's pool & beach-parties at Ark Bar – Green Mango Club has lit up the soi with street lamps, as it's only the two dance clubs that are open there at the moment, and a food stall opposite Green Mango Club...

20201122_wIMG202011202159-soi-GM.jpg.9a3be74be7ebe86c06fed0a69c4b049e.jpg

 

It's behind the Green Mango Club in what I think now could be called Soi Black, that there are activities...

20201122wIMG202011220140_soi-Black.jpg.facff31242b53f58cae26af3d005788f.jpg

 

And foreigners seems still to meet in outdoor Black Bamboo, it's as crowded as every time I've passed by since the reopening – and that's quite a number of times – and inside Black Club is as usual full house. I noticed a lot of – for me unknown – young girls right inside the gate was very interested in me; I'm however not sure if it's positive, i.e. that I by maturing becomes more handsome...???? –or it's just because of low season...???? –inside however seems to house a surplus of apparently single ladies...????

Black Club is a great disco and great atmosphere, but in my subjective view the music is too much Thai-style for my dance-mood – but that's how we are all so different – which might also be why some Westerners prefer the house music-style in Black Bamboo, which could remind of good old-time after-party at Fuzion Club in Lamai.

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!

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.

Saturday November 28th...

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.

Saturday beach fever and soi up-date...

 

A fairly crowded Ark Bar fairly at 9:40 pm...

One more bar with music and some customers, and space for more, a bit further north – I don't know the name – at 9:43 pm; yes, I'm either a fast walker or the clock in my phone slowed down...????

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

I'm hoping this isn't a serious suggestion for Christmas dinner! 

This might be sad news for many, but Black Club is burning heavily tonight...

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.

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...
