Thailand is very famous for it's party scene and with numerous locations to choose from, one of those places is the popular island of Koh Samui. The largest out of the the 3 popular islands backpacker love, the other two being Koh Tao and Ko Pha-ngan.

Where To Party In Chaweng Beach Koh Samui?

Ark Bar and The Green Mango is the party! PERIOD!

Ark Bar has parties day and night along with a DJ mixing the current trends! Choose your party vibe whether it's on the beach or poolside and still be right in front of the DJ booth as it's located directly between the swimming pool and the beach so no matter which side you are on, you're still right in front of the DJ! It's as if Ark Bar was designed for people to party! Wait, that's exactly what they did and it's in my opinion one of the best beach clubs in all of South East Asia as far as a pure party scene that is extremely laxed on "RULES".

Ark Bar Beach Resort

We've been holding out on you! Ark Bar is not just a pool and beach party by day and night club by night, but it's also a resort. Yup! The Thai's are very considerate and made it to where you can stagger 50 feet to your room to go crash out after you danced the night away, just slip off your sanding shoes before entering as to be considerate to their house keepers and their cultural traditions, plus you don't want the sand everywhere.

You enter all the rooms from the exterior motel style which I love as many people decide to turn their rooms into open door after parties for those who just aren't ready for the night to end. That being said, if you don't like noise after 9pm, this is not the place for you! Sleeping isn't allowed here until early morning due to the noise of 100 mini after bars parties for the warriors who just were not ready for the night to end, and then.....

At 1pm, wake up and stagger to the pool for a dip and a short doggy paddling to the swim up bar so you can have the bartender help you cure your hangover...Welcome To Ark Bar

The Green Mango Club is rock throwing distance on the opposite side of the street from Ark Bar. What's cool about that is you can literally leave one party and be at the other party in 2 minutes time if you want to switch the vibe or if it starts to rain, you are going to want to head to the Green Mango Club as it's covered and you aren't going to get rained on.

Come to think of it one of my experiences at Ark Bar it did start raining and it only made the party crazier because the DJ just kept everyone in a crazy party trance. You know the vibe I mean? We couldn't leave even if we wanted to as it was just one of those experiences.

Ark Bar Beach Resort Cost

Staying at Ark Bar Beach Resort will cost you $100-$150 on major online travel agencies like Expedia or Priceline, but you can book direct for $3200 baht per night which is around $80. I know $80 is a lot more than most backpackers spend on their lodging, but if you can swing it since you will only be there for 2-3 nights, do it because it's not a vibe but it's THE VIBE.

However, if that isn't something you can swing or don't want to pay that, now that you know where the party is; just search for places as close to Ark Bar & The Green Mango Club as you can and you will be all set for an epic few days of partying on one of Thailand's best destinations!

Warning: DO NOT party and then hop on your rented motorbike—it's a dangerous choice that could cost you your life or harm someone else! If you're heading to Koh Samui for the nightlife—and let's be honest, that's probably why you're reading this—please take this seriously. It's simply not worth the risk.

I've witnessed too many people end up in the hospital, ruin their trips, and tragically, some have even lost their lives. While Koh Samui may be safer than Koh Pha-ngan due to its flatter terrain, it’s still a perilous ride for anyone not skilled on two wheels. Stay safe and enjoy your time responsibly.
