Sorry but i dont agree that the nightlife is better in chaewang if i wanted to be amongst people who cant hold their liquer and generaly make a c un t of themselves i would go to faliraki or ibiza after being in patong and pattaya for 2 weeks i want something more relaxing and i am sure you will agree there are still plenty of bars and a couple of good discos in lamai and as you say you can travel into chaewang a couple of nights as i always do. Just my opinion l/w and i am aware that you are 22 years old and i am 43 so we just like slightly different things, which is understandable , i just think if you want wild times there is pattaya and patong (where i can be as wild as anyone) but when you go to samui it should be to unwind and i really could not in chaewang lets face it most of the hotels are at the oposite end of the town from the main nightlife area soi green mango and you are faced with a long walk each way or going through nightmare traffic to get there. the traffic in Lamai can be just as bad but most of the hotels are easy walking distance from the bars. ITS ALL ABOUT tastes and preferences for quiet daytimes and good nightlife chose Lamai and for wild times and wild nighlife chose pattaya and patong chaewang is a pale imitation.l
