A Tour of Samui Night Market — From Fisherman's Village to Lamai
The highlight of a gourmet tour in Koh Samui is touring the night markets that open on different days of the week. Fisherman's Village on Fridays and Lamai on Sundays are the largest, while Lam Din Market in Chaweng is a daily local market. You can travel along the island's circular road by scooter or songthaew; be sure to prepare small bills, as most stalls at the night markets are cash-only.
