Monkey Bar khao lak

Monkey Bar Khao Lak is a well-regarded bar and pub situated in Khuekkhak, within the laid-back coastal district of Khao Lak in Phang Nga province. With a strong and consistent following, it has earned a reputation as one of the more reliable spots in the area for an enjoyable evening out, offering a relaxed but social atmosphere that suits both solo travellers and groups. Visitors can expect a casual, convivial vibe with a drinks menu pitched at mid-range prices, making it an accessible option without feeling budget or upscale. The bar draws a mixed crowd that reflects the broader Khao Lak scene — a blend of tourists, expats, and locals — giving it an easygoing, unpretentious character that keeps people coming back. The open hours running through to 1am give it enough staying power for a proper night out without pushing into late-night club territory. Good to know: Monkey Bar opens at 3pm every day of the week, making it a solid choice for an early sundowner as well as an evening session. As Khao Lak is a quieter resort town compared to Phuket or Krabi, the bar tends to feel more intimate than overwhelming. No website is currently listed, so turning up directly is the way to go — and given the hours and location, it fits neatly into an evening stroll along the Khuekkhak strip.
