5 Best Night Markets in Koh Samui
Where to Go Shopping like a Local in Koh Samui?
The best night markets in Koh Samui offer extensive shopping and dining options, allowing you to comfortably browse in the cooler evening air rather than the daytime heat. This means you don’t have to sacrifice a potential beach day to pick up great discounts on clothing, electronics, souvenirs and more.
The weekly Walking Streets are a highlight, especially popular among tourists. These markets have grown so large that they take over entire towns for one night each week. Despite their popularity, prices remain generally low and can usually be bartered down with a friendly approach. Be sure to explore as many of these markets as possible during your stay on Koh Samui to enjoy delicious local eats and unbeatable bargains.
