Bartist Koh Kood

4.8(217 reviews)

Bartist Koh Kood is a well-regarded bar located on Koh Kood, one of Thailand's quieter and less-developed islands in the Koh Chang archipelago. With a strong reputation among visitors, it draws both travellers staying on the island and those seeking a laid-back spot to wind down after a day on the beach. Its location along Soi Khlong Khang Khao places it within reach of the island's coastal areas, making it a natural stop for an evening out. The atmosphere here reflects the unhurried pace of Koh Kood itself — expect a casual, convivial vibe rather than a loud or crowded club scene. As a bar and pub, it offers a setting suited to evening drinks, good conversation, and soaking up the island atmosphere. The consistent draw of repeat visitors speaks to a place that delivers a reliable and enjoyable night out without the intensity of larger tourist hubs. Bartist Koh Kood opens at 19:00 every day of the week and closes at midnight, making it an ideal destination for those looking to start their evening at a relaxed pace. Visitors should note that Koh Kood is a remote island with limited infrastructure, so it is worth planning transport back to accommodation in advance, particularly later in the evening. No booking information or website is currently available, so arriving early on busier nights is a sensible approach.

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.
