Fight nights in Chaweng, a regatta in early summer, and a monthly party one ferry away.
Petchbuncha Stadium
Muay Thai cards run weekly in Chaweng with local and foreign fighters. Tickets band roughly 1,200–2,000 THB depending on how close you sit.
Samui Regatta
Keelboat racing out of Chaweng in early summer, usually late May or June, with the fleet visible from the beach and a free shoreside village.
Full Moon Party, Haad Rin
The monthly all-night beach party on Koh Phangan, roughly an hour by ferry; boats run late and tickets are sold at the gate.
Beach football and takraw
Village pitches and takraw nets fill from about five o'clock when the heat drops; Maenam and Lamai both have courts worth watching.
