Equality Bar KhaoSok

4.3(78 reviews)$$$$

Equality Bar Khao Sok is a mid-range bar and pub situated in the heart of Khlong Sok, serving as a social hub for both travellers and locals passing through the Khao Sok area. As the name suggests, the bar carries an inclusive, welcoming ethos, making it a comfortable spot for a broad mix of guests looking to unwind after a day exploring the national park or the surrounding jungle landscape. Visitors can expect a casual, laid-back atmosphere with a solid drinks selection suited to a relaxed evening out. The bar strikes a balance between neighbourhood local and traveller hangout, offering a place to connect with other adventurers without the intensity of a full party scene. Its mid-range pricing keeps it accessible, and the consistent opening hours across all seven days of the week make it an easy option regardless of when plans come together. A practical note for visitors: the bar opens as early as 08:00 and stays open until 02:00 every night of the week, which gives it unusual flexibility — equally suitable for a late breakfast drink, an afternoon social stop, or a proper late night. Given its location in Tambon Khlong Sok, it is most conveniently reached by those already staying in the Khao Sok village area. No booking appears necessary for general visits.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
