I am trying to decide between Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan for a month's stay. Does Ko Samui have a better nightlife scene overall? Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Ko Samui is generally regarded as having a better nightlife scene, particularly in areas like Chaweng, which is known for its vibrant atmosphere and numerous nightlife options. However, opinions vary as some prefer the laid-back vibe and beautiful beaches of Ko Pha Ngan. Ultimately, the choice depends on individual preferences for nightlife versus relaxation.

Samui better nitelife. Chaweng specifically has more nitelife than Lamai but I personally like the mix of Lamai beach w the laid back atmosphere but yet a decent amount of nitelife.

PHa Ngan is better beaches and lazy laid back.

Depends what u want.
