Lahana Bar

4.3(24 reviews)

Lahana Bar is a casual drinking spot located on Koh Kood, one of Thailand's more peaceful and less-developed islands in the eastern Gulf of Thailand. It draws visitors looking to relax with a drink in a low-key setting away from the busier nightlife scenes found on larger islands like Koh Chang or Koh Samui. The bar has built a solid reputation among those who make it out to Koh Kood, which itself tends to attract travellers seeking a quieter, more unhurried experience. The atmosphere here reflects the island's general character — relaxed, unpretentious, and friendly. It suits those who want to wind down after a day on the beach rather than seek out a high-energy club scene. The Facebook page serves as the main channel for updates, so checking there before visiting is a practical way to confirm current hours and any events or specials on offer. Given that Koh Kood is a smaller, more remote island, opening hours and availability can vary with the season. Visitors travelling during the low season between May and October should verify the bar is operating before making the trip. As with most spots on the island, the vibe is casual, so there is no need to dress up. Lahana Bar is a sensible stop for travellers already spending time on Koh Kood who want a relaxed evening out.

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.
