"Krok Yai Esarn Restaurant near the Post Office in Maenam. Excellent papaya salad. Very popular with the locals."

"The best som tam in Samui."

""P Ched" located at the traffic lights in Bophut. Some of the best Thai food on the island. Very cheap and open all night. The best แกงพริก (geng prik) on Samui."

"Pronounced Jay Joo. On the ring road near the post office in Chaweng is this tiny gem. Open from dusk till dawn selling just a handful of dishes including rice soup. Ideal stop off after the club!"

"For authentic Thai food in Chaweng look no further than Ranong. It's open all night serving delicious food at very good prices. Ranong is extremely popular with locals and always busy."

"Really nice resort on the quieter end of Chaweng beach. Breakfast is great probably the best eggs benedict in the world. Lovely cosy beach bar with insanely good cocktails. Talk to Shaun the barman."
