The Green Mango Club

The Green Mango Club is in Chaweng, on Koh Samui, at the heart of the nightlife area. Soi Green Mango, the lane named after it, is right next door, and Hush Bar, Chica loca and UNDER BAR are within walking distance. Stay in Chaweng and you can walk home.

It is the big Chaweng club the soi is named after. Expect a large, loud room and a late finish. It anchors the Soi Green Mango scene, so many nights in Chaweng pass through it, and it is the natural finish after the beer bars next door.

Yes, though in a club the usual dating rules apply. Many women are there with friends to party, and some freelancers may be around. Read the room, buy a drink and do not assume. For bar girls, the beer bars on Soi Green Mango next door are more direct.

Bring your passport or a clear copy, as Thai clubs check that everyone is 20 or over, and expect a bag check at the door. Smart casual is the safe choice, since flip-flops and sportswear can get you turned away. The rules vary by night and door.

Nearby are Soi Green Mango beer bars, Hush Bar, Moby Dick Irish Pub & Guesthouse, Chica loca, UNDER BAR and Sin by Night. That puts beer bars, ordinary bars and another club within a minute or two, so you can warm up beforehand and move on afterwards.

The Green Mango Club is a big indoor club on the nightlife soi, with a late, loud mood. Ark Bar Beach Club is a beach party bar with DJs and fire shows. Pick Ark for an early evening on the sand, and Green Mango for the later, dance-floor part of the night.

Clubs fill late, so arrive after dinner and a warm-up drink at the beer bars on the soi. Weekends are busiest. Opening hours, entry arrangements and any cover charge vary, so check on the night, and keep a ride home arranged.

Eat first, warm up on the soi, then go in once the crowd builds. Bring your passport copy, set a limit for the night and watch your drink being poured. Note the fire exits, keep your phone in a front pocket and take a Grab home.
