    Fisherman’s Village Walking Street is a lively and colourful market held every Friday evening. It has all the ingredients that made this kind of open-air market so popular: dozens of stalls selling what seems to be an unlimited list of items. 

    You’ll be able to find clothing, handcrafted souvenirs and accessories of all sorts, as well as a wide choice of local street food (it wouldn’t be a market in Thailand without readymade snacks) and even some cocktails stalls!

    Samui Robot Factory

    Samui Robot Factory is a unique place to shop for rare, antique, and collectable items. It's worth making a stop at this 'recycled' factory outlet, which sells fantastic figures inspired by the main characters from the Alien and Predator movie franchises.

    The 'monsters' are built out of used automotive and motorcycle parts. Somewhat scary looking, they're nevertheless a testimony to Thai handicraft skills. If you're a collector and pop-culture connoisseur, there'll be one thing or more in Samui Robot Factory that'll catch your eye.
