Landing Bar
Landing Bar is a laid-back watering hole tucked into the Khuekkhak area of Khao Lak, offering a casual and welcoming atmosphere that keeps both locals and travellers coming back. Its strong reputation is reflected in consistently positive feedback from visitors who appreciate the friendly service and easygoing setting — a rare find in a region where nightlife options can be limited. Guests can expect a relaxed bar environment suited to unwinding after a day at the beach or exploring the surrounding area. The budget-friendly price point makes it an accessible spot for a few drinks without the premium pricing often found at resort bars, and the atmosphere leans more neighbourhood local than tourist trap. Open every day of the week, it strikes a balance between being a regular hangout and a genuine discovery for first-time visitors passing through Khao Lak. Good to know: Landing Bar opens at 4pm daily and stays open until 1am, making it a solid choice for early evening drinks through to a late night out. For the liveliest atmosphere, Friday and Saturday evenings tend to draw a bigger crowd. Check their Facebook page for any updates on events or specials before heading out, as opening details can occasionally shift.

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.
