Big Buddha Beach

Big Buddha Beach is best known for the Sunday afternoon live music BBQs held at Secret Garden. While the talent varies from week to week, if you're anywhere on Ko Samui of a Sunday this is worth checking out. If you're after some no frills Continental fare, Chez Ban Ban dishes out French, Swiss and Thai fare. As with many Samui beaches, there's an English style pub in the form of the Elephant & Castle and there's also a "tapas bar" at Saboey. On the other side of the road there's a bunch of bar-beer style joints.
