Cabaret shows are relatively new on Koh Samui, but slowly, the shows are gaining popularity with both locals and foreign visitors.

The shows are based on elaborate musicals and feature songs and dances (with a mixture of Chinese and American songs and including classical and modern Thai dances) spiced up with stints by popular comedy acts.

The glamour of the performers is probably the main attraction, though. These performers excite the audience with their dazzling costumes, made to compliment the colourful production sets.

The main stages are Starz Cabaret and Christy’s in Chaweng and the Zodiav in Lamai.

Bring your whole family and spend a wonderful time at a cabaret show!

If you like a New Year’s party, Thailand is the place for you. Samui’s people are blessed with no less than three annual opportunities to ring in a new year with their European friends on January 1st, with their Chinese friends in early February, and on April 13, which has for centuries marked the first day of of the traditional Thai solar calendar. This last celebration is called Songkran, and it is one of the most joyous occasions in The Kingdom.

The word Songkran comes from the Sanskrit words for “New Year”, and the Thai celebration was probably imported with major aspects of Indian culture over 2,500 years ago.

Songkran in Thailand is a holiday primarily dedicated to the family, and tourists may notice a much slimmer staff manning the restaurants and hotels as every employee who is able, goes home to spend the day with his or her relatives.
