KOH SAMUI MARKETS – WALKING STREET
Checking out the markets is a must and you will enjoy a visit to one or all of the markets available on Koh Samui during your stay.
Walking Street markets attract a large number of visitors. Locals and guests alike are to be found promenading through the main road of Fisherman’s Village, meeting with friends, tasting the food, and browsing through the many things offered at the stalls and shops, where nice handcrafted gifts and local delicacies can be found.
Live music and a relaxing atmosphere have made Walking Street Markets a place not to be missed!
