Where to Go on Koh Samui
National park, Buddhist temples, art galleries, and craft shop in Fisherman's Village — places worth visiting on your own, not tour agencies and water sports rentals that fill the category.
Where to Get Breakfast and Dessert on Koh Samui Besides Cafes
A coffee shop on Koh Samui usually means espresso and an outlet by the table — but if you need breakfast, pastry, or dessert, the list narrows. Below are nine cafes with their own specialization: bakeries, dessert cafe, coworking space and observation deck, spread across the island. ## How We Chose We filtered out nail services, brows, and cosmetic procedures that often fall into the same catalog category, and kept bakeries and cafes — by format (male, female, mixed) and by district, not just the tourist Chaweng. ## What Suits Whom - **HOM Baking Company** (Chong Mon, northeast) and **King of Bread** (Bangrak, north) — bakeries with their own pastry, for those looking for more than croissants from the freezer. - **Bar Baguette** (The Wharf, Bo Phut) and **Bar Baguette Nathon** (Nathon, west) — French pastry on baguettes, two districts of one chain, if the nearest isn't available. - **Two Sisters Mochi Box Cafe** (Maret, south) — Japanese mochi and desserts instead of the usual Thai. - **The Fox Eat Broccoli** (Chaweng, southern part) — a cafe with an emphasis on vegetable and light dishes, an alternative to fried breakfast. - **Chill Inn Coworking Space** (Bo Phut) — a cafe with workspace, if you need to sit down for half a day, not just have coffee and go. - **Lamai Viewpoint** (Lamai, south) — a cafe on an observation deck above the beach, an option for a morning with a view, not just food. - **D'cup cafe** (Fisherman Village, Bo Phut) — in the tourist pedestrian zone of the fishing village, convenient to combine with an evening walk. ## What to Know in Advance Bakeries like HOM Baking Company and King of Bread often sell out fresh pastry by lunch — it's better to visit in the morning. Lamai Viewpoint operates as an open platform and closes in rain and strong wind. Between districts of the island it's 20 to 40 minutes by transport, a route through several cafes should be planned for one or two districts at a time.
Where to Get Coffee on Koh Samui Besides Starbucks and Cafe Amazon
Starbucks, Cafe Amazon, and Coffee World on Koh Samui are on every corner — you don't need to look for them. Below are ten coffee shops with their own roasting or pour-over brewing, two or three in each district of the island: from Maenam in the north to Lamai in the south. ## How We Chose We filtered out chain outlets — they're already visible on the map without a guide — and kept places with their own roasting, filter coffee, or separate workspace, spread across the island rather than concentrated in one tourist district. ## What Suits Whom - **Hachiya Coffee Roastery** and **Coffee Collective Samui** (Maenam, north) — roasteries with their own beans, an option for those who make a special trip for coffee, not incidentally with breakfast. - **Chao Doi Coffee** (Chaweng, Laem Din) — a point of a Thai specialty bean brand from the country's northern plantations. - **A Slow Bar: Just Another Coffee** and **Sa-Thu Slow Bar Coffee** (Chaweng and Bo Phut) — establishments with slow bar format and hand brewing, for those who aren't in a hurry. - **wildtribecafe** (Lamai, south) — a small coffee shop away from Chaweng's tourist strip. - **Emporio caffé samui** (Lamai) — an espresso bar in Italian format, for those missing a ristretto. - **London Lounge: Café, Workspace & Social Hub** (Lamai) — a coffee shop with a separate work area, if you need more than just coffee but several hours with a laptop. - **Coffman at The Pier Samui** (Nathon, west) — at the ferry to the mainland, convenient on the way to the continent or back. - **Daylight Cafe** (Bo Phut, near the airport) — an option before departure or after arrival, without rush-hour terminal stress. ## What to Know in Advance Small roasteries like Hachiya and Coffee Collective keep their own hours and may close earlier in the evening — it's better to visit in the morning. Between districts of the island it's 20 to 40 minutes by transport, a route through several coffee shops in one day should be planned for one or two districts, not the whole island at once.
Where to Eat on Koh Samui If You're Tired of Thai Food
It's easy to get stuck on Thai food on Koh Samui and miss everything else: the island has grown its own international cuisine — from Indian thaali to Argentine steak. Below are twelve restaurants, each with its own national cuisine, without chain fast food and repeats. ## How We Chose We selected one or two restaurants per cuisine to avoid duplicating the catalog search results, and spread them across two regions of the island — the southern Lamai Beach and the northeastern Chaweng with neighboring Bo Phut, so there's an option nearby regardless of where you're staying. ## What Suits Whom - **Galanga** (Chaweng) — pan-Asian cuisine with Thai accents, a familiar format for those who want local flavor without a drastic cuisine change. - **The Coffee Club** (Central Festival) — an Australian chain with breakfast and brunch all day, a reliable option with outlets and Wi-Fi. - **Taco Town** (Central Festival) — Mexican cuisine in the same mall, convenient to combine with Coffee Club in one visit. - **El Gaucho** (Chaweng) — Argentine steakhouse, an option for special occasions rather than everyday dining. - **Live India** (Lamai) and **Curry Hut Indian Restaurant** (Chaweng) — one Indian restaurant per district: both cater to the island's permanent Indian community, not just tourists. - **Hummus Yossef** and **Falafel Factory** — Israeli and Middle Eastern cuisine next to each other in the Chaweng-Bo Phut area, where the island's Jewish community is concentrated. - **Piri Piri Mediterranean Flaming Grill** (Lamai) — Mediterranean grill, an alternative to Thai barbecue on the same beach. - **Little Austria** (Lamai) — European cuisine with an Austrian accent: schnitzel and strudel instead of the usual Thai menu. - **Four Black Pizzeria** and **Locals Smoked BBQ** (both in Bo Phut) — wood-fired pizza and smoked barbecue for casual dining without reservations. ## What to Know in Advance During high season (November – March) popular establishments near beaches may have queues without advance reservations, especially in the evening on weekends. Some small family-owned places — Little Austria, Piri Piri, Locals Smoked BBQ — accept cash only; credit cards are risky. Between Lamai and Chaweng it's about 20–25 minutes by car or motorbike: public transport on the island is irregular, and combining districts in one evening is inconvenient.
Where to Get a Tattoo on Koh Samui: Bamboo or Machine
Koh Samui has dozens of tattoo studios, but only some work in the traditional Thai bamboo technique — the rest are regular machine tattoos, common in any country. Below are eight studios with clear specialization by technique and style, in different parts of the island. ## How We Chose We divided studios by technique — bamboo (sak yant, Thai hand tattoo) versus machine — and by style where stated explicitly, spread across the island: from Maenam in the north to Nathon in the west. ## What Suits Whom - **The Bamboo Rooms** (Fisherman Village, Bo Phut) — a traditional bamboo tattoo studio, the artist works both in Thailand and the UK; an option for those who want hand technique, not a machine. - **Home Art Tattoo** (Lamai) — offers both techniques, bamboo and machine, with emphasis on a less painful process. - **BlueBlood Tattoo** (Chaweng) — works in both Japanese style and Thai sak yant bamboo under one roof. - **K.B Twins Tattoo** (Chaweng) — also combines bamboo and machine, second option in the same district if the first is busy. - **Starcat Tattoo** (Chaweng) — specializes in Japanese style, tribal and freehand, for those not looking for bamboo but an author's design. - **Samui Bambus Tattoo** (Nathon, west) — another studio focused on bamboo technique, the only option in the western part of the island. - **Joe Tattoo Samui** (Fisherman Village, Bo Phut) — next to Bamboo Rooms, regular machine tattoo for those who don't need bamboo. - **Sya tattoo studio** (Maenam, north) — the only option in the north if you don't want to go to Chaweng or Bo Phut. ## What to Know in Advance Bamboo technique is slower than machine and usually more expensive for comparable area — it's worth clarifying this at a consultation before the session. Ask to see sterilization certification for instruments and single-use needles in any studio, not just listed ones. Booking with a popular artist during high season is better done several days ahead.
Where to Get a Haircut on Koh Samui: Barber Shops and Salons by District
In the «Hair Salons» category on Koh Samui, nail studios, brows, and laser hair removal are mixed in. Below are nine establishments specifically for hair cutting and styling, broken down by format and district of the island. ## How We Chose We filtered out nail services, brows, and cosmetic procedures that often fall into the same catalog category, and kept hair salons and barber shops — by format (male, female, mixed) and district, not just the tourist Chaweng. ## What Suits Whom - **Tor Babershop** and **Stella Hair Cut & Shave** (both in Bo Phut) — classic men's cut and shave format, two options in one district. - **Beautiful Hair** (Chaweng, by the beach) — a women's salon in the tourist center. - **Care for your hair** (Chaweng, north) — a salon in a residential area away from the beach strip. - **May Hair Design** (Chaweng) — another option in the residential part of Chaweng, if the first is busy. - **ToB1 Hair Station** (Central Festival, Chaweng) — a salon in the mall, convenient to combine with shopping. - **Yupin Beauty Salon & Barber** (Chaweng) — mixed format: men's barber and women's salon under one roof. - **City Girl Hair Extensions** (Bo Phut) — specialized hair extension service, not offered by all island salons. - **More than Hair** (Chong Mon, east of the island) — the only option in a quiet eastern district if you don't want to go to Chaweng. ## What to Know in Advance English language reception in small Thai salons is not guaranteed — if you need a specific coloring technique or complex haircut, it's worth clarifying in advance by phone or messenger. During high season, it's better to book popular times a day or two ahead rather than showing up without notice.
