#1Naga Bar
A popular mid-range bar on Koh Samet open daily from 2pm until 2am, perfect for island evenings.
This is a beach bar island through and through, with most of these places sitting a few steps from the sand and opening mid-afternoon before running late. Naga Bar takes the top spot on sheer weight of reviews, though Rasta Bar's reggae setup is the one I'd point you at for a slow night. Everything here lands in the same mid-range price band, so ranking comes down to Google ratings with review volume breaking ties.
