Koh Samui Walking Street Markets

Koh Samui walking street markets are perfect for sampling the famous Thai street food and souvenirs.

These markets are filled with small stalls, offering a huge variety of Thai street food, including pork, chicken, seafood, fish, and vegetables, each cooked in a special Thai style or from small BBQs.

The Thai delights also include a variety of desserts, such as baked rice, deep-fried bananas, cakes, and sweet breads. Thailand is known for its huge variety of desserts, especially in Southern Thailand, and even more so in Koh Samui for its coconut desserts. The Koh Samui Walking Street Markets are a foodie lover’s heaven.

Samui Explorer’s Tip: I would recommend to those traveling for the first time to book a private guided tour around a walking street market. Use the guide to explain the different street foods and their origins.

It’s basically a foodie and shopper’s paradise on a tropical island in Koh Samui, Southern Thailand.

Koh Samui Walking Street Markets run every evening throughout the week, with a different location each night. Each area has a different vibe and much more on offer.

The surrounding bars and restaurants will offer special deals on drinks and food. Live music can also be enjoyed at particular bars.

VIA Village Market Lamai is a newly opened lifestyle market and entertainment destination in Lamai, Koh Samui. Rather than being just a traditional market, VIA Village has been created as a new place where tourists, families, residents, and visitors can spend an evening discovering food, shopping, cafés, wellness activities, and entertainment all in one location.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of international and local food concepts, retail shops, massage and wellness services, Pilates, tattoos, family activities, live music, and entertainment, with new concepts continuously joining the Village.

Samui Explorer Tip: Before setting off during the monsoon or low season, check with your resort if the street market is open because if rainfall occurs in the late afternoon, the market holders may not set up their stalls.
