How do I meet people in Koh Samui?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Koh Samui about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...

"Expats in Koh Samui often join various clubs and activities to socialize and meet new people. These include fitness clubs, yoga classes, cooking classes, language exchange groups, and diving clubs, which are popular due to the island's beautiful underwater scenery. There are also several golf clubs and sailing clubs for those interested in these sports. In addition to clubs and activities, expats often meet people through community events and festivals. Koh Samui has a vibrant cultural scene with many local festivals such as the Samui Regatta, the Fisherman's Village Festival, and the Buffalo Fighting Festival. These events provide a great opportunity for expats to mingle with locals and other foreigners. Expats also meet people through volunteering. There are numerous opportunities to give back to the community in Koh Samui, from teaching English to local children to helping out at animal shelters. Volunteering not only allows expats to make a positive impact, but also to meet like-minded individuals. Another popular way for expats to meet people is through networking events. These can be organized by local businesses, expat groups, or international organizations. Networking events often include socializing, presentations, and sometimes even guest speakers. Lastly, many expats meet people simply by frequenting local restaurants, bars, and cafes. Koh Samui has a diverse food scene with many establishments catering to international tastes. By becoming a regular at these places, expats can get to know the staff and other patrons, making it easier to form connections," commented one expat who made the move to Koh Samui, Thailand.
