Chaweng Beach is a gastronomic delight with food available 24 hours a day at literally hundreds of restaurants serving up every kind of cuisine you can imagine. Every resort also has a restaurant attached, usually serving standard Thai and western fare (although some have been rented out to more imaginative operators). The standards as well as choice of cuisine has been driven up by the extra competition and prices have remained low, so visitors to Samui are now rewarded with high quality restaurants at reasonable prices. Many of the newcomers are foreigners whose restaurants represent their origins, which is why there are so many German, Italian, British and Swiss establishment. Although Thai food is still well represented, many restaurants have diluted their dishes to suit the tastes of foreigners, so if you want to sample the pleasures (and pain) of real Thai food you will have to venture to the outskirts of town.
