The restaurant's extensive menu offers such a varied selection that you might be ready for another “Mai Tai” before you can decide on whether to eat some fresh local barbecued seafood, imported or local steaks, an authentic Australian chicken parmagiana or experience some of the best and tastiest Thai food possible. 

On most nights you can listen to DJ’s spinning the latest Uplifting and Funky Vocal House music. Be ready to get some sand between your toes while dancing the night away at the famous Ark Bar “Wednesday Beach Party” and the “Funky Friday Beach Party”. 

Wherever you decide to sit, and whatever you choose to eat, we can guarantee that you will be greeted with a traditional Thai smile, and receive superb service in a lively tropical paradise setting that you will live in your memory forever.
     
 
OUR ACTIVITIES :
 
Chaweng's beach activities are numerous and include swimming, snorkelling, jet skiing, sunbathing or just lazing the day away sipping a cold drink in the shade of a coconut tree. 

Alternatively, the often overlooked hinterland offers jungle treks, waterfalls, a tiger zoo, bungy jumping, trail bike riding, historic temples and much more. 

After a day on the beach under the tropical sun or exploring the lush hinterland “The Best and Only Place” to chill out, eat, drink, relax, party or mingle with people from all over the world is at Ark Bar’s two beachfront restaurants and three bars. They are, by far the most popular, happening and cosmopolitan day or night destination in Koh Samui. 

Here you can participate in the “Funky Friday" Beach Party or the famous Ark Bar “Wednesday Beach Party”. On these days please take advantage of our "free" BBQ and indulge yourself with exotic cocktails, cold local and imported beers, vodka jelly shots or a Samui jungle juice bucket (it's our own secret recipe, we could tell you, but then we would have to kill you). 

As day turns to night, and the rest of the world prepares to sleep, imagine yourself dancing barefoot under the stars on this tropical moonlit beach while watching the daredevil fire-shows or enjoying the energetic live music performances. All of this while you are grooving along to funky vocal house music played by professional DJ’s from Spain, England, Australia and Thailand. 

Nearby are some of the uniquely Thai cultural experiences such as the "bargaining" retail shops, roadside eateries, night markets, nightclubs and Lady-boy cabaret shows.
