Christmas Dinner at Choeng Mon Beach 2026: Thai Dancing, Saxophone & Festive Beachfront Dining

Spending Christmas in Koh Samui means a warm evening by the sea instead of a winter table. On 25 December 2026, The Blue Spice brings a festive programme to Choeng Mon Beach: Thai dancing performers, live saxophone music, and beachfront dining from 18:00 until 22:30.

Guests dine à la carte or choose one of two optional set menus for two — a Seafood Set at THB 4,290 or a Thai Set at THB 1,750 (both plus 7% VAT, no service charge). The evening has its own programme: no fire show on Christmas night. Thai dancing and live saxophone provide the entertainment.

Reservations are secured with a non-refundable ticket deposit: THB 500 per person aged 13 and above, THB 250 per person aged 4–12, and free for children aged 3 and under.

For guests staying around Choeng Mon Bay, Christmas dinner is particularly easy to reach. SALA Samui Choeng Mon is next door. Royal Muang Samui Villas is around 4 minutes along the beach, and Meliá Koh Samui and Kimpton Kitalay Samui are each approximately 5 minutes — a relaxed walk on the same stretch of sand.

The key planning facts for Christmas Day 2026.

The Christmas Day sitting runs from 18:00 to 22:30. There is one sitting — guests may arrive any time from 18:00, with no separate rounds as on New Year's Eve.

The entertainment programme for 25 December 2026 is Thai dancing performers and live saxophone music. Thai classical dance is a formal performance tradition with distinctive costume and stylised movement. In a beachfront setting it integrates into the dinner atmosphere as a visual feature — guests dine at their tables while the performance runs. Live saxophone provides the music through the evening.

There is no fire show on Christmas night. The regular fire show runs on other evenings at the restaurant; 25 December has a different programme. Guests who specifically want the fire show should visit on a regular evening or consider the NYE Round 1 programme (31 December, 18:00–20:30), which includes it.

À-la-carte ordering from the full dinner menu is available throughout the evening. Christmas Day does not restrict the standard menu.

Two optional set menus are offered for two persons. The Seafood Set is THB 4,290 for two, plus 7% VAT — no service charge. The Thai Set is THB 1,750 for two, plus 7% VAT — no service charge. Both are optional; guests may order à-la-carte, a set menu, or a combination.

Dietary requirements should be communicated when booking. Specific set menu dishes can be confirmed with the venue closer to December 25.

The Christmas Day dinner is a ticketed event. Booking is confirmed on payment of a non-refundable ticket deposit: THB 500 per person aged 13 and above, THB 250 per person aged 4 to 12, and free for children aged 3 and under.

The deposit is charged at booking confirmation and is non-refundable. It is separate from the food and drink bill, which is settled on the evening. No service charge applies; 7% VAT is added to food and drinks.

Reserve as early as possible — ideally 8–12 weeks before December 25. December is peak season in Koh Samui and Christmas Day fills quickly. State the number of guests in each age group when reserving so the deposit can be calculated correctly. Note any special occasions or table preferences at the time of booking.

The 18:00–22:30 programme works well for both couples and families. For couples, beachfront tables on the sand, Thai dancing, and live saxophone provide a warm and distinctive Christmas dinner — a genuine alternative to an in-hotel setting.

Families with children will find the programme practical. Thai dancing is a visually engaging performance for all ages, and the beachside setting is calm and unhurried. Children aged 4–12 pay a deposit of THB 250 per person; children aged 3 and under have no charge.

The programme ends at 22:30 — a comfortable time for families — and same-beach guests are back at their hotel within minutes of leaving the table.

Four hotels on the same stretch of beach make the return journey straightforward. SALA Samui Choeng Mon Beach is next door. Royal Muang Samui Villas is approximately 4 minutes along the beach or beach road. Meliá Koh Samui and Kimpton Kitalay Samui are each around 5 minutes — a relaxed walk along the sand.

Cape Fahn Hotel is on Koh Fahn, the small island immediately off Choeng Mon Beach; guests require their own hotel's transfer arrangements.

Guests at other properties — Garrya Tongsai Bay, Six Senses Samui, Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui, Hyatt Regency Koh Samui — should arrange a return transfer before leaving for dinner. December 25 is a busy evening in Koh Samui; pre-booking is sensible.

The Blue Spice has separate confirmed events for Christmas Day and New Year's Eve 2026. The two evenings are distinct in structure and atmosphere.

Christmas Day (25 December, 18:00–22:30): one sitting, Thai dancing performers, live saxophone, no fire show.

New Year's Eve (31 December, two rounds): Round 1 runs 18:00–20:30 and includes the fire show — suited to families and early celebrators. Round 2 runs 21:00–01:00 with Thai dancing, live saxophone, and midnight bay fireworks visible from the neighbouring hotels. Both rounds use the same ticket pricing and set menu options.

Guests staying through the Christmas–New Year period can book both evenings separately. The programmes are distinct enough that attending both is not a duplication.

December is dry season on the northwest coast of Koh Samui where Choeng Mon sits. Evening temperatures on Christmas night are typically 24–27°C with a coastal breeze. The venue has covered and semi-covered seating for unexpected showers.

Koh Samui airport is approximately 8 minutes from Choeng Mon Beach by road — guests arriving on December 25 can be at the restaurant for the 18:00 start the same evening.

Book as early as possible, state any special occasions or dietary requirements when reserving, and confirm the booking in the week before December 25. Same-day walk-in availability cannot be relied upon for a ticketed Christmas event.
