Shopping centreTop 10 rainy day activities
Central Festival describes itself as "the biggest lifestyle shopping complex" in Samui. With three floors and around 90,000 square metres of retail space, there could hardly be a better description for this huge dining and shopping centre.
Central Festival Samui enjoys a central location on the island's east coast and has 3 entrances in total. It's very easy to reach by car, since it sits between the Chaweng Beach one-way road and the nearby Chaweng Lake.
This modern, trendy complex is an architectural masterpiece, with a central open-air atrium, a beautifully landscaped garden, a children's playground, and countless shops and restaurants.

Rum distilleryTop 10 rainy day activities
You can see local rum production for yourself at the Rum Distillery (formerly the Magic Alambic Rum Distillery). The distillery was founded in 2003 by a French couple and produces rum from sugar cane.
To this day, each step is still done by hand, and as a final step, the rum produced has to mature for around 6 months. To be legally sold afterwards, the alcohol content must not exceed 40%.
A rum tasting is of course available for a small extra fee. You can also buy one or more bottles after the tasting. A perfect gift for your loved ones back home.

Escape roomTop 10 rainy day activities
The "Escape Room" is one of the newest and most exciting attractions on Koh Samui. You can take part in these tricky games together with friends or the whole family.
With your team, you choose a specific theme, for example a ghost ship or an ancient temple. Then it's straight into the action! The whole team gets locked in a room, and using hidden clues and puzzles, you have to escape the room within an hour.
Every game is unique and requires teamwork and strategy to find the solutions. A really inventive rainy day activity that you can enjoy on the island any day of the week. Prices start from 1900 Baht for two people.

Alongside plenty of shops, there's also a cinema. Here you can watch the latest films in English. With delicious homemade popcorn and other snacks, you're guaranteed great entertainment. One thing that might be different from what you're used to: before the film starts, the royal anthem is played, and out of respect, all cinema-goers have to stand up.
