If you’re visiting Koh Samui, one place you cannot miss is the Fisherman’s Village Bophut. Although the fishermen are long gone, the village still is a historical icon. Any visitors can tell you that they are transported to the past upon viewing the structures of old. Of course, thanks to tourism, there are plenty of tourist attractions available for people to enjoy, from renowned restaurants and fancy stores to comfortable hotels. Every Friday, any fortunate soul still in the area can experience the wondrous Fisherman’s Village Walking Street, a market filled that attracts tourists and locals from all around.
Planning to visit the incredible Fisherman’s Village? Here are four activities you should try when enjoying the best the place has to offer:
1. Outdoor Events
During the day, the village tends to be a little quiet. At night, however, there are plenty of activities that you can enjoy. From outdoor movie shows and beach parties to local performances and street arts, there are just so many things you can experience in this small town.
2. Relaxing Beach
Bophut beach, although not as significant as other beaches you can find around the island, is an excellent place for two reasons: it is peaceful and incredibly clean. Because of this, plenty of tourists come here during the day to relax and play in the waters.
Although the beach is quite small, there’s still plenty of space for people to walk around and enjoy the vistas. There are myriad of beach and water activities you can enjoy too, such as diving.
Also, if you plan to stay here until night falls, be prepared to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine. Stare at the orange sun, clothing everything that’s around you with its light, evoking in you an intense feeling of bliss and relaxation.
3. Night Markets
In Koh Samui, there is no escape from night markets, and you shouldn’t be trying to run away anyways. They’re an excellent place for you to enjoy what the locals have to offer in terms of great food and items.
If you are looking for the most significant market, wait for Friday. Only then does the Fisherman’s Village Walking Street market come to life, filled with all kinds of shops. Plenty of decorations liven up the area as well, allowing for an unforgettable experience. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself emotionally attached to the village after visiting this market.
