Buzz Coco Club

Tucked on Ao Prao’s west-facing sand, Buzz Coco Club is the island day-to-night spot for lazy lunches that roll into sunset cocktails. Think palm shade, pink-accented seating, and the soft thump of Latin-leaning playlists while the Gulf turns gold in front of you. It’s run by Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa, so service is polished without being stuffy. The menu leans Thai and seafood with beach-friendly plates—grilled catch, spicy salads, and sharing snacks—plus smoothies and proper tropical cocktails. Prices are resort-level but fair for the setting, and portions suit a post-swim appetite. Come for golden hour; Ao Prao looks straight into the sunset and the bar team keeps the glasses cold. Practical bits: It’s right on Ao Prao Beach (west side of Koh Samet), an easy run from Na Dan Pier by taxi. Open daily 11am–10pm, so you can slide in for a late lunch and stay for the show. Expect a mix of resort guests and day-trippers—couples, small groups of friends, and anyone chasing that last light over the water.
