Fisherman's Village is a well-known, quaint, trendy and chic area of Bophut in Thailand's tropical island of Koh Samui. The village is located on Koh Samui's North Eastern coast and is an interesting mix of traditional and contemporary with antique, wooden townhouses mingling with modern bars, restaurants and apartments. The village itself comprises a beach road, about 1km long with a great choice of bars and restaurants serving international cuisine with stunning sea views towards Samui's neighbouring island of Koh Phan Ngan.
"Walking Street" is a weekly event, every Friday evening, in Fisherman's Village where locals set up stalls along the length of the beach road selling Thai and International food, drinks, clothes and souvenirs. Thai Food on offer is from all over Thailand and includes traditional Thai sausages, BBQ squid, satay, fried tempura prawns and Thai style kebabs. For the less adventurous, some international cuisine options like pizza, fried chicken and french fries are also available! Don't miss trying a Mojito from the cocktail stalls which are made with Tom Cruise "Cocktail" style flair.

The Village's bars and restaurants are all open for business and many set up their own stalls to sell some snacks to passing tourists. You are welcome to feast on your street snacks while enjoying a spot of people watching with a cool drink and fine sea views from the local bars.
Shopping opportunities are abound with market stalls and local boutiques selling clothing and locally made trinkets and souvenirs made from local materials such as bamboo, fruit tree woods and, of course, coconuts. Trinkets available to buy include lamps, wooden elephants and Buddha images, paintings, silk cushions and candles to name but a few. Prices can be a little inflated compared to other areas of the island, so don't be afraid to try for a discount.
Local Bophut school serves as a large car park and you can leave your car safely here for a small charge. Care should be taken when driving past the village and crossing the busy roads, especially with children, as they are poorly lit and few drivers slow down while passing this busy area.
Fisherman's Village Walking Street has been such a success that other areas of Koh Samui have followed suit, with Maenam, Lamai and Nathon now hosting their own Walking Street on different days throughout the week.
On your next visit to Koh Samui, don't miss Fisherman's Village Walking Street for a relaxed, satisfying and thoroughly enjoyable evening out.
