With wild-eyed optimism, let’s hope that third time’s the charm and 2022 is great.
Ready? The 2022 Koh Samui events calendar is ready for anyone clever enough to plan things in advance (and always here for those of us who will show up and hope for the best).
Are you more of a last-minute sort? You’re in luck – Koh Samui is often a last-minute kind of place. Below, you’ll find annual Koh Samui events, holidays, festivals and 2022 Full Moon Party dates (on nearby Koh Phangan). I update this calendar regularly as new or last-minute events are announced so make sure you don’t miss email updates. Enjoy!
