Oktoberfest Island-Style
Samui

September means Oktoberfest and nowhere in Thailand parties harder than Haven Samui Community Mall in Chaweng. From September 17-20, the open-air mall transforms into a bustling Bavarian beer garden complete with long communal tables, clinking steins and lively folk tunes.

Hofbräu München is the beer of choice here alongside a menu of hearty German classics – from grilled bratwurst and crispy Eisbein (pork knuckle) to golden schnitzel, warm pretzels and buttery Spätzle. Returning German band Die Bayerischen provides the live soundtrack, accompanied by beloved festival traditions like the one-litre stein-holding challenge and log-sawing contests. With cold beer, hearty fare and island-style merriment, Munich has never felt closer.
