Probably most of it is rather clean and cared for since sections of the beach are being maintained by the adjacent hotels. The sections that are being vacant, further down the beach close to the Lomprayah pier, are a complete nightmare. There’s trash everywhere. Nobody feels responsible because the hotel owners don’t look right or left. Also there’s plastic glitter everywhere, probably from New Year’s. I am baffled how you could use glitter when you’re next to the sea and the majority ends up in water. It’s quite cynical when you’re at the pier and there’s banners asking for eco-friendly packaging due to trash. And then the whole beach looks like the pics attached. I think we might have seen a few people doing an effort cleaning up but if it wasn’t for the tourists, there wouldn’t be clean beaches at all.

Lovely quiet beach with a nice view of Koh Pha-ngan on the horizon. It's a beautiful and quiet part of Koh Samui. It's only a bit far from where everything happens on the island.

beautiful beach, very good for relaxation and leisurely walks in the evening, lots of colorful people

The beach looks nice on the pictures and it is cleaned ⛱️ - but! the water is not clear and there is dirty river comming isto the sea every 100m..😣so there is foam and greese in the sea..I am surprised and disappointed because all the comments about this beach were so good.. 😢

Pretty mediocre beach, with a lot of garbage laying around. Some hotels clean the sand in front of them but most don't bother or do not do it frequently enough. There are much better beaches around especially on the east side of the island (particularly Crystal, Choengmon and Chaweng). Also full of garbage (so sad), but much nicer with soft white sand.

An amazing, quite and out of the way beach. It’s tricky to get to, scooter is preferred. But once you are there, it’s heaven. The waters are mostly safe to bath and swim.

Very nice beach, not the best but very nice and quiet.

There's no doubt that this is the quietest main beach on Samui. There is no person in sight at all, other than a couple of guys bringing out their dogs out for a walk. The sand is a little more on the coarser side, so it may not be the most comfortable to lie on, although there are hotels and resorts where one can stay along to relax without getting sandy. The beach is relatively clean but it can get narrow at certain stretches, so abit too near to the waves to lie down. You'll have to bring your own mat cause there are none laid down by any accommodation on the sandy beach. Although very beautiful, one will feel a bit solitary lying there alone, unless you're specifically looking for something like that. There is nary a pub, cafe or drinking place on the stretch, so that contributes to the quietude you'll definitely get when you're around.

Very nice beach on the north side of Koh Samui. The sand on the beach feels very soft and there are plenty of palm trees along the beach. The beach is very long. It is possible to rent jet skis here also. Unfortunately there are quite many algae in the water which made swimming not soo nice.

Absolutely ridiculously and embarrassingly dirty, 3 days straight

Lovely beach right in front of Fisherman's Village. There are plenty of restaurants around, but they weren't open when I was there the last time, thanks to Covid. But the beach is a very beautiful one.

Bophut beach is located on the north of the island. It is a 3km long nice crescent-shaped beach. Do not expect a crystal water with white sand on that part of the island. Water visibility is not more than 40cm, otherwise the view on Koh Phangan is nice. Beach is quiet compared to the busy Chaweng Beach. Left part (North-west) of the beach is not really good for swimming as the bottom is muddy and there are many tour boats. Some good hotels on that beach with direct access to the popular Fishermans Village (marketing name) which was called Bophut Village till late 2010 ... plenty of international and thai restaurants and shops.

Nice beach just steps from Fishermans village. Sand is a bit corse but all in all a pleasent day can be had

Beach nearby fisherman village . Few good cafe along the beaches

Correct beach only if you want to tan , I would avoid swimming since there’s a ton of boat . There’s some good restaurants and beach club with their own pool tembo / chi / yui’s.

The best place from Samui. Crowded but not noise . Good restaurant with average prices and good services

Beautiful long beach. The sand is a bit coarse-grained, but still not a problem for long barefoot walks. The beach is not overcrowded and there is no vehicle noise. Quiet, very pleasant & relaxing atmosphere and there are some nice restaurants to stop by.

nice wide beach, with a lot of cafes and restaurants, deep sea like Samui, and sticky sand

The water was not clear but it was turquoise on arrival during a sunny afternoon. The sea was calm. We weren’t able to swim however as a rainstorm came through before we had the chance. It didn’t look super clean but there were others swimming when it was sunny. The area is super expensive for Thailand (drinks, food, transport) compared to the other islands we visited. Close to European pricing which seemed crazy.

Lovely beach, calm waters and clean particularly the further west you go. We moved onto Lamai after being on Bo-Put, which was a big mistake.

Very relaxed atmosphere and not so crowded. Water isn’t the clearest and sand is rather coarse. Very few waves, but water gets deep quickly

Great location great people. Getting to it abit difficult on moped but do able. Its quite hilly so just you are aware. Zip lining was really good guides are awesome and was a beautiful experience. Would recommend can chill in cafe area for cold drinks and lounging area. We didn’t see waterfalls but next time maybe.

Lovely waterfall many pools to swim and paddle in. Short walk from the road past a coffee place in a tree. The tree bridge cafe was open and being renovated when we went.

The cafe is kinda like hanging out in a tree house with pretty drinks. The star by far is the kitchen staff (about 1km from the cafe). The chef saw me walking aimlessly, called me a cab and made me the best spring roll of my life. It was perfectly crispy, BIG and the ratio of filling to wrap was perfect. There are two waterfalls here (40 minutes roundtrip with stops) and a Zipline course. The Zipline tour can be done with four or eight Ziplines, 1,200 Bhat and 1,800 Bhat respectively. Overall fun experience--there's something there for everyone.

I think it’s not really a waterfall, but definitely a beautiful place to visit, especially while they make their way to waterfall, unique by making tree bridges So don’t expect to see a waterfall, but you will enjoy the beauty of the nature for sure ✅ - Slippers and sandals are ok - Use mosquito spray at the beginning - Bottle of water ❎ - nothing so far ℹ️ - burned calories: about 60 CAL (based in Apple fitness app)

Beautiful nature. Easy to find, not so difficult rute. And when you are done with the waterfalls you can enjoy a glass of shake at the most beautiful coffee shop in the island.

The area is cool but there's no water right now. Completely dry so not worth coming right now unfortunately. Also be prepared I got 18 mosquito bites whilst here...

We had a great day. We found this place on the map, decided not to take a guide, and went by taxi ourselves. we walked to two waterfalls, took a zipline ride and had a lot of fun. The downside is mosquitoes, a lot of mosquitoes.

Waterfall is pretty dry at the moment, not many good spots to swim, still worth the trip for the view and cafes

What a beautiful spot in nature! A short walk of about 10 minutes will take you to two waterfalls. There is a nice cafe near the falls that offers a variety of drinks. After visiting the waterfall, the cafe has a stunning view, and it's a great place to relax.

Nice waterfall that is worth visiting. The road to the waterfall is quite steep but it is possible to reach by scooter. If you arrived at the destination, don’t follow the sign that says ‘secret waterfall’, there is nothing there. Instead go into the direction of the tree bridge cafe and the zip line. There’s also a bar and a restaurant close by to go for a drink or something to eat.

The road to the nice waterfall is sometimes very steep, but no problem with a scooter. Not much water at the moment so seeing the 1st waterfall is the better choice. The way down is rocky and steep so watch your steps! You shouldn't go there, without a mosquito repellent! The same trail leads to the Zippline, the Tree Cafe and the Waterfall 1+2.

We loved this place. There is a cafe on the tree with bridges connecting different locations. Also, since we visited it last time a couple of months ago it was maintained heavily and now it has zip lines. We liked the waterfalls' views too. You can order drinks and food here as well.

The living street of Maenam,, direct acces to the quiet and beautiful beach. This charming place offer massage, pharmacy ( good one), and grocery. Also a multitude of restaurant bar for each taste and budget. Thai, western( Austria, french, German, Swedish,... ) You will find your daily delicacy

Very nice atmosphere and vibes street. Couple of nice trendy shops and many nice restaurants and cafes. View point to the main beach is breathtaking with the cool Koh Pangan island in front of you. Try one of the beach bars or massage places around, sunsets are really romantic.

A very pleasant night market on Thursdays, lots of food opportunities!

This is a small market spread over two streets on a Thursday night. Great variety of stalls with lots of street food choices and drinks, all at very reasonable prices. There is some entertainment, which is very pleasant to enjoy a drink and street food. One of the best aspects of the market is that you are not hassled and can therefore walk around taking I what's on offer without any pressure. Certainly worth a visit.

Nothing unique or special about this market. Food wasn't too great either unfortunately. I guess its good for Koh Samui but I hope Thailand visitors have experienced much better on the mainland to get the real feel of a Thai Market

A beautiful and pleasant street with a relaxed and European atmosphere, very nice restaurants, cafes and shops. the street leads to a beautiful and quiet beach. Every Thursday there is a stunning night market!

Great for international tourists or locals visiting from other places in Thailand. Nice atmosphere and friendly vibe. Some interesting stuff for sale. Only runs on Thursday from 5pm.

Nice small Budha temples near the beach. Free.

Nice temple - worth a visit when coming by

My very beloved sacred place with calm garden around. If you bought something from street sellers just on the shore across the garden, you can come back and enjoy small snack in very beautiful place. And sound of tweeting birds with ocean waves, what a romance!!!

As compared to some of the other Wats in major “touristy” areas; this temple appears to cater to the locals area. The duty monk in a separate Sala (relative to the ornate and closed Ubosot) where merit making happens was very friendly. Felt great after receiving a blessing of lustral water.

A beautiful and peaceful temple near the beach Place : clean, peaceful and tranquil Price : free Parking : spacious and free

Nice little wat on the beach.

I don't visit the hotel, just beach.

It's a temple, quiet and peaceful, by the beach

Amazing restaurant! Incredible food, and great ambience. The owner came over to recommend and advise on each dish, you can tell he has a lot of passion, and the staff deliver excellent service too. You must go here!

Lovely traditional Italian restaurant. Love it there

First time visited, restaurant is located on the main road but you dont feel you are on the main road quiet, very nice atmosphere, beautiful garden nice sitting in and out. Owner is very friendly and caring. Great service. Really Loved the cold cuts and grilled white snapper :) Had wonderful night, we definitely coming back again.

What an amazing experience we had. If you like to experience truly Italian fresh dishes and impeccable service, than you have to try this restaurant. Paolo and his team make’s us feel so welcome and comfortable. Their food is absolutely delicious and in our case the wine is very important accompaniment which they have it very right. If you are in the area, we can highly recommend 👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly Italian owner. Very good taste. ordered the Chef Special Veggie Pasta, just like Grandmother used to make. As promised on the menu, this was probably the best vegetables and pasta sauce that I ever tasted. See what I did there? Unless the chef's grandmother lived in a pasta factory, the pasta wasn't homemade and was premade in a factory somewhere in Italy. 5 star Italian restaurant food always has fresh homemade pasta made daily, just like Jame in El Segundo, California. Check out the pictures of the homemade pasta there. You won't see this corkscrew pasta because you need a special extrusion machine, not the standard pasta roller or simply a cutting board and a knife to make Strozzapreti pasta. Personally, I don't care whether you call it a trattoria, osteria, ristorante or enoteca, but homemade pasta is essential at this price point. The ice cream was very nice, but not plated to 5 star Italian restaurant standards.

The food is very good and Paulo is an exceptional host, making you feel either like at home or in Italy! We recommend to start with the amazing bruschettas, especially with the one with Parma ham. One of the best addresses in town!

We began with a delicious drop of full-bodied red and a Campari Spritz and trusted the charming owner who recommended the gourmet bruschetta to start. Anchovies and wasabi are, it transpires, a match made in paradiso! We opted, for mains, for the seafood pasta and the mushroom with truffle-cream fettuccini. Both were exceptional. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked and the flavours were rich and authentic, acompanied by an excellent bottle of Chilean cabernet sauvignon and we were delighted! Impeccable. It was great to eat to such a well chosen soundtrack too: emphasis was on the 80s, from Italo-disco to British new-wave with a splash of funk and soul thrown in for good measure. The owner ended our perfect evening with a homemade limoncello; what a touch. The best place we ate on Samui by a distance. The food, the staff, the atmosphere and the tunes were impeccable. If you'd have told me we'd be eating authentic Italian cuisine on a Thai island talking about the pros and cons of George Lazenby and the state of international politics, I would've laughed. I'm not laughing anymore. We will be back. Thank you Pepenero.

One of the most amazing restaurants in Koh Samui. The food is the best of the best you can get from Italy, and the service is impeccable. Recommend anyone in Samui to try it while they are here!

Belissimo! 👌🏻 We spend here wonderful Birthday Celebration 🎉 Thanks for memories! Food was amazing 🤩 The owner is cool 😎🤘🏻

Great atmosphere for a great dinner. Everything we have tried has always been of a high standard. High quality, tasty, beautiful! The chef is always on top! Many options for vegetarians, the chef can also customize the dish, especially for you. Highly recommend the eggplant bruschetta!

Pepenero in MaeNam was a delightful surprise during our recent trip. The moment we stepped in, we were welcomed by an incredibly professional and warm staff, who seemed to have the uncanny ability to be right there when we needed them. The authenticity of the Italian food simply blew us away. From the pasta to the ravioli, every dish was brimming with genuine flavors, reminding us of a trip to Italy itself. We must commend the chef for his culinary skills! The red wine selection was something to write home about as well. We enjoyed a particularly good vintage that paired perfectly with our meal, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. As for the price, yes, it was a bit on the upper side. But considering the quality of the food, we couldn't find it in ourselves to complain. It was a premium experience, and we felt that every penny was well-spent. In conclusion, if you're in MaeNam and have a penchant for authentic Italian cuisine, do yourself a favor and book a table at Pepenero. You won't regret it!

Impeccable food and service in a relaxed yet elegant environment. Special care is taken in the preparation of each tasty dish. The pasta is superb but do not neglect the starters, especially the cheese. This is a restaurant that commands respect for their efforts and requires appreciate compensation for their success. They make provide a relaxing stress free ambiance and insist that their customers do their part to keep this environment for the patrons. A very pleasant evening and dinner attended by a congenial owner and his professional staff.

One of the best Italian restaurants we’ve ever been to. An absolute masterclass in Italian food and wine. The owner is extremely passionate and took the time to welcome us and explain the menu. The staff are very attentive and have been trained well. Would highly recommend, we will be back.

We have not been to Italy but coming from Melbourne, Australia, we have an abundance of great Italian restaurants. So after reading other reviews we were curious about this Italian restaurant in Koh Samui and decided to give it a try. And we are so glad we did - the food and service was SO good! I don't think we have any restaurants like this in Melbourne. Flavours of everything were just amazing. Owner explained the menu in detail to us and spoke with passion and pride about his food. Prices are comparable to Melbourne so don't compare with local Thai restaurants. If you want to try authentic delicious Italian food in Koh Samui - definitely dine here!

Went there for dinner with 3 kids. Amazing food and varieties of drinks. Kitchen is apparently open from 8 am and last order is 8.30 pm, but you can still order drinks till 11 pm. You can tell that the place is built and decorated with love when you see the details. Pet friendly, kids friendly, and the place is directly by the beach. Parking spots available. They even have toys for kids (sand toys, bouncy horses, coloring pencils, etc) and baby chairs with table. Prices are alright (beach restaurants/bars price). Would definitely come back again.

I didn’t stay here but ate at the restaurant- the food & drinks were some of the nicest we’ve had during our stay on Samui! There is a huge menu to choose from so enough choice for everyone. The mango & raspberry coconut rice pudding was delicious 😋 and you can’t go wrong with the amazing happy hour mojito menu for 99baht! Service is very good also. We will definitely be back

Ive come to eat at treehouse a few times now and I absolutely LOVE IT! The menu has great variety and the food is soooo tasty. The smoothies are so good too! And it’s right on the beach, making it the perfect spot to hang out, relax and swim! Definitely recommend this spot.

The place is difficult to get without transport but that's also an advantage, there isn't much around, so quiet and peaceful. The food is tasty! The prices are average for the restaurants, not that expensive

Lovely place with a beautiful view and nice shade. The food is amazing and super reasonably priced. They have a wide variety of cocktails, all very affordable. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. Right on the beach. Toes in the sand

Lovely place. Burmese tea leaf salad good, but the Khao soy very disappointing, the broth was so sweet it would count as a dessert. So sad. The Thai sweet tooth is destroying one of the world's great cuisines..

This was one of our favorite places in Thailand! Every worker there is so friendly and willing to help with anything. The food and drinks are amazing, best tea leaf salad on the island and great drink deals. We stayed here countless times and each time I would rate it a 10/10. It is the perfect location and draws a more local expat crowd.

Nice place to visit on the Beach. The Restaurant offers a good variety of meals and drinks at very reasonable prices. The view is fantastic. Great place for a Romantic Meal...

Really fantastic vibe, stunning location, amazing food and great prices... I waited a year to come here and I was not disappointed. Highly recommended 👌

Exclusive only here cranberry mojito, its absolutely amazing 😍 Thai and European food delicious, English speaking staff and very friendly. And also have simple, but very cute bungalow on sea side with clean comfortable beach. Love this place already 9 years!

Excellent food. Great beach. Decorated brilliantly. Lots of cushions and tables. Even has a hammock and beach chairs to enjoy. Rooms are simple but great.

We came here to eat but are staying next door at the Flow resort. The service is mediocre and very slow. It can take awhile just to get one of the servers to even look your way. Surprisingly our food came out really fast. We had the Thai meatballs, which I found really dry. They had some spice to them. We also tried the chicken coconut curry soup that everyone reviewed and it was good. Also had some spice to it, a bit on the smaller side. My boyfriend had a mojito for happy hour and said it was really good. I had an iced Thai milk tea which was also really good. The drinks were definitely better than the food. The location, view, and decor is the winning point here and the main reason I would come here. They have beach chairs on the sand, a floating trampoline on the water, beach mats that anyone can use, chairs and tables for dining, etc.

Amazing food in a great location! Atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed and the beach huts look cool. We came for dinner and then came back for lunch, will be back again 😀 Very reasonable prices, happy hour on cocktails 4-7.

Down a dirt road and tucked away behind the treehouse bungalows lies a fantastic restaurant by the beach. We had a lovely lunch consisting of traditional Thai cuisine. The food was great. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommended.

The first time we came here was 6 years ago and since then it has been our favorite restaurant on the island. The restaurant just got better. everything is tastefully done. delicious food, nice atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant to everyone! you will not regret !

Absolutely love this place, eating on the beach and it's perfect for a swim while waiting for your order. I would recommend staying in th beach front rooms as the ones off to the side we're a little dark and really just somewhere to sleep rather than chill but that being said it's only 2 steps outside to a hammock and a Seaview to the side. Cook place!

Such a lovely hidden gem! We really enjoyed sitting by the beach and the relaxed atmosphere. Drinks and food were tasty too.

We loved our Treehouse breakfasts so much that after a few mornings here, we decided to stay for a few days at the end of our trip! The rooms are basic but cozy and clean; we love the easy atmosphere and good, fresh food. A little off the beaten track, but honestly worth it.

Nice place, nice location and good menu… BUT - you need to bring patience. Service isn’t the best. They are pretty slow and drippy and you need to wait forever to get your drinks and meal to be served. If you order in a bigger group expect not everything to be delivered together (in our case one person had to wait 10 more minutes which was a bit annoying)

We only went there for lunch and it was very tasty! Finally a place where you can get some tofu alternatives. The prices were very fair as well. And the beach underneath was amazing!

Went there a few times for lunch, the menu is good and I want to enjoy it, but for me the whole place is literally ruined by cigarette smokers. I moved tables a few times but again and again the smokers would light up. Also it is promoted as child friendly, has toys etc but sorry to say you simply cannot combine smokers and children together. Management kindly organise separate seating areas for the smokers as the secondhand smoke makes it difficult to enjoy.

We did not stay here but visited twice for drinks at the restaurant on the beach. Such a photogenic little stop. Friendly, welcoming and the food looked delish. We hung out and relaxed with our drinks.

Had lunch here. The view and fresh juices were my highlight. The salads are nice but a bit much in it and the simple taste and flavours of the usual Thai cuisine are overpowered by too much going on. Would still go for the view and smoothies

Stumbled across this restaurant/bar and what a a gem to find! The staff were super helpful and friendly, location is right on the beach front (but not the busy kind). Only regret is not booking our accommodation here, it really is paradise!

We stumbled upon the Treehouse and decided to have breakfast here, the breakfast burritos & hash browns hit the spot. The view was fantastic with warm & attentive staff. We ended up staying for a few hours after brekkie, just to enjoy the scenery and a quick dip in the ocean.

Ssssshhhhh I really don't want anyone to know about this place because I want to keep it all to myself!!! It's so gorgeous and quaint. Right on the beach, feet in the sand while dining. Think low key, quiet, chilled out. Beautiful food, excellent service. Can't wait to come back. Thank you.

My wife and I had a lovely dinner here yesterday. Friendly owners who took the time to discuss with us, good service and good food, what else could we need ? I advise you call and book ahead as the restaurant cannot accommodate hundreds of people per day (I guess maybe around 20 per evening ?) and they are quite famous. I recommend !!!

Exceptional experience to recommend to anyone who loves French cuisine. The setting is subdued and intimate, ideal for spending a successful time with the people you love. The menu is varied, with very fresh products and mainly French-inspired dishes. I was spoiled by a multi-lane menu, statistically multiplying the risk of missteps, but nothing came of it. I would rate the dining experience as perfect, as was the service by the way, and I will definitely be returning there on my next visit to koh samui. I highly recommend it !

Very very good restaurant. We are since 6 months in Thailand and we also tried expensive European restaurants by this is by far the best. The food is amazing the prices are very very good for the food you get and the owners are such a nice couple. I hope that it will not be our last time here. Thank you very much it was so goooooooood. And the amuse-bouche at the beginning was amazing never tasted something like that. The duck breast was crazy good and the tartar with bone marrow was also the best of the best. Thank you very much for thats experience. 10/10 I would recommend

The return of The Boudoir is a success, after 1 year closed it finally reopened and the food and wine was very good, we recommend it

Excellent food and warm service, at very reasonable prices too. It's a great atmosphere at this cute little unpretentious place that challenges some of the expensive resorts for food quality. The steak was absolutely devine. Thank you for a lovely evening, we'll be back!

The foods are so tasty and sexy, the atmosphere is French romantic, a romantic dining experience. The owner serves us with humbleness and elegance. I will always want to come back.

WOW!! Absolutely amazing!! Me & my fiancé came here last week and what can I say!! We used google maps to find the location (you will not find it without) We were a little nervous as we were the only people at the restaurant however it was an amazing find! Welcomed by the owner he explained the whole menu in depth to us with his recommendations. He was very thoughtful and alway around when we needed something!! We had a 3 course meal & 2 drinks each and the price was amazing!! Honestly a beautiful little gem in Koh Samui and somewhere you MUST visit!!

This was the third time which I have had the pleasure to enjoy dinner at The Boudoir. I would go as far as saying that this the most *highly recommended* dinner reservations which I can give whilst visiting Koh Samui. Do not be out off by the location which takes you off the main road and slightly ‘off road’ for about 1-200 metres but any taxi can make it and it is totally worthwhile. The food is delicious and the setting is intimate and perfect for a nice meal out. The owners are charming and so friendly, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough

A fantastic French cuisine you could hardly find in Koh Samui, if not Thailand! The place is cosy and homely. The atmosphere both indoor and outdoor are very romantic. The food is very authentic and unique. Both restauranteurs (Magali and Patrice) are very hospitable. Would definitely give it a five star for French cuisine lovers! I could only manage to take some photos under very dimmed light condition so please bear with my photos.

Super nice and fun service. The owner came to our table to welcome us and to have a chat. Super fresh and great food at a fair price. We had the spaghetti with homemade pesto and various pizzas. Our daughter didn't manage to finish her pizza and we could take the leftovers home. Before we left, the owner surprised us with a sweet pizza as desert to take home (for free!), which was super yummy.

The BEST linguine alle Vongole we’ve ever had! Also the pizza (prosciutto cotto) was divine. First time here but definitely coming back!

Really good pizza “alla romana” and great customer service! I hadn’t eaten this kind of pizza in a long time, it brought me back to my childhood memories! thank you for everything Alan and team

Best pizza in Thailand.. You'll eat every crumb.. Perfect! Great little comfortable tiki style diner..

Had to try this place on the reviews. They are extremely well deserved. Best pizza outside of Italy. Italian guy sourcing ingredients from Italy. This is a must try restaurant. Well done 👏 Only wish we had more time to try other things on the menu

What an amazing time we had at DA BARDO! I've been living on Koh Samui for nearly six years now, and let me tell you, this place serves up some of the best Italian pizza I've had in ages. Here's the kicker: My wife, who's Thai, and our little pizza-skeptic daughter surprised us all. Normally, they stick to tiny chicken pieces or pineapple on their plates, but this time, they not only dug into their pizza slices but asked for more. Can you believe it? They actually finished the whole pizza and wanted seconds! The ingredients were as fresh as it gets, and the cooking style screamed "Italy." You know that unmistakable aroma of a wood-fired pizza oven? Well, DA BARDO's got it, and it takes you on a culinary journey to the heart of Italy. Each bite of their pizza is like a symphony of flavors, from the perfectly crisp crust to the mouthwatering blend of cheeses and toppings. And the secret? It's the owner and chef, Mr. Allan, a true Italian food wizard with over 30 years of culinary expertise. He not only whipped up amazing dishes but also made a heart-shaped pizza for our daughter and catered to our every whim. No doubt about it, DA BARDO is the place to be for pizza on Koh Samui. In my book, it's numero uno. Do yourself a favor - bring the family and indulge in some authentic Italian goodness. You won't regret it! I'm giving this spot a rock-solid 10 out of 10 - no second thoughts! Cheers, Loy Machedo

Frozen-like pizza, poor in quality and the amount of ingredients, simply not good. Considering there’s an Italian chef, I’m unpleasantly surprised.

Nov 2023 ----Hey!! What happened why are you closed? I have gone to your restaurant a few times over the past few weeks but there is only a plastic sheet outside. I can always count on having good food whenever I am there. Always reliable，always good.

Visited as we wanted pasta one night and it was absolutely delicious so we came back a second time for the pizza! Would highly recommend 😍

Reading reviews by others…. I must have very high expectations! The waiting staff could be better. Our orders were confused and the dishes came very late! It was a very busy day for the kitchen for sure. For Koh Samui standard, the thin crust pizza was basic and satisfying. We were so hungry by the time the food came we forgot to take pictures.

Best pizza you can get on the island and definitely authentic Italian. Owner is an Italian, polite and friendly and the service is great. It might be a bit above the normal prices, but you pay for taste and quality of service. Also the size of the pizza is big, my hand is rather big for 1.87cm guy.

This place is amazing. Delicious food, family owned and operated Phil and his family are a delight. Stop in for some amazing food. Good conversation and a cold beer ask about the tours. They are an experience you won't want to miss! My menu recommendation is Cashew chicken :)

Run by (seems like it) german owner is a place nowhere near anything but you won’t be able to get a a seat after 18:00 as it’s full (of german guests :) ) but it’s not only patriotism, the food is really good here, size fully justifying prices. Just a good choice for a detour :)

My girlfriend and I had one day on Koh Samui and Philipp organised a private, customised day-tour for us. He was very easy to communicate with and helped us create a really nice plan for the day. We went snorkelling, visited pig island (Koh Matsum) on a long tail boat, and got to taste very delicious Thai food. Aom, our driver and guide for the day, was such a lovely person. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide. She spoke English very well, was very kind and helpful and gave us very interesting insights. We enjoyed her company very much! To sum it up, we can highly recommend booking a tour with Feel Travel!

Amazing! The first time all the reviews on Google were actually right. This is the best Thai food we had since we came to Thailand, and we tried a lot! Tom yum soup from the heavens! Highly recommended! Pineapple fried rice, so deliscious. Chicken satay the best one we had. The most perfect mango with sticky rice. Affordable prices, HUGE portions, great and friendly staff! I'd gave it 6 stars!

Could not recommend this place more! We had our favorite meal on the island at this restaurant, so much so that we plan to come back again before we leave. It’s family run and the dishes have amazing local flavor. Definitely give this place a try!

We loved this place!!!!! Portions are very big, one plate is good for two. Very delicious!!!! The atmosphere is nice. The owner is very friendly. Highly recommend

Very delicious Thai food and good service. A lot of German people visit this place due to the German owner but I recommend it also for non German guests. On the same place you will find the possibility to book tours, which are highly positiv rated on TripAdvisor.

We stayed in the area for a couple weeks and this was our favorite restaurant time and time again. The flavors are spot on and the portions very generous! The chicken satay is a must try, as well as the Phad Thai. Don’t pass this place up.

You might be confused on why this place has almost a perfect rating. We came in wary, but the restaurant definitely deserves it. Portions are absolutely humongous with very fair prices. The portion size isn't the only good thing about this. The green curry is very creamy, and you can actually feel the spice in it. The pineapple fried rice is also very good. The rice comes in a carved out pineapple and is cooked to perfection. If you're around the area, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. Be warned, if you have a small appetite, consider sharing a dish.
