At night on Vong Duen beach you can have a great meal in comfort and then dance on the beach or just talk to the locals in one of the many bars.
My friend Jody here (see other pics behind) helped some local resturant waitresses and other tourists to peel back the lotus flowers to offer at the Buddhist temple the following day.

Dress Code: Whatever you like just be free asnd comfortable.

Ko Samet's nightlife is concentrated along Sai Kaew Beach. You've got all the usual beach bars here with cushions on the beach and torches around. All places I tried here were pretty much the same, prices for drinks may vary a bit though.
Some bars have the popular fire shows at night.

Dress Code: none

The island is very small and pretty much a single beach to hang around on. They had fire shows and music while just hanging out and enjoying cold beers while chatting with strangers from around the world.

Dress Code: Anything

THis place is very chilled out, Reggae music playing all the time. They have a little room where you can lay around with some low tables and hang out. They also have a bigger back room where there is alittle stage and they hold Karaoke. I was here in July and this bar was never busy, so dont expect big crowds, but its a good place to hang out and have a beer or 2.

For the herbal lovers, this is the place to go, but you will get ripped off compared to another place which is right next to the silversands bar. Just be really carefull with that anywhere on the island.

This was my favorite place on the island to hang out......they have their busy nights and the more calm nights. The best thing was the lay down seats....it was like a bamboon table but the legs half cut off, and on top of that a rug with big hard pillows. There is no dance floor here, just a lay down spot inside and on the beach are the lay down seats. In the busy season they run a bbq for dinners and serve all kinds of drinks. In the low season its just usually drinks. The owners are from england, good guys and will give you good service.
There is a big area to lay down inside by the bar....in that area is a tv where you can come and choose some movies during the day and watch a show. Enjoy a drink and what not.

Check out their website for more pics and info on the bar.

Dress Code: I usually wore shorts and a cut off, but you can wear whatever you like.

Johnies bar is actually the name Gordons thai wife. I sat one night and BS'd with the guy for quite awhile. At the time they said they were getting ready to move, still unsure of the location they were going. Nice couple though. Stop in and say high.

Dress Code: Come as you are

At night they pull out the tables and fire up the grill on the beach. Just walk down the main beaches and you can see what they got, and ask how much. Prices are fairly close but I found was a little more further south on the main beach??? forgot the name already... prices go from 300 on up, but both times i ate good for around 400 including beer and was stuffed....

Dress Code: Come as you are, you are on a beach...

This is I found quite attractive. Full house with local and tourist people especially tourist. The music is out loud compare to the other bar. Mind that this just for un peak season though but during peak season I bet every bar is open and more people around. This time of season, is just cool and relaxed.

Dress Code: It's ok if you wear whatever you want to wear as there is no restriction on that.
