LightHouse Beach bar and kitchen
Sitting in the Sala Dan area of Koh Lanta, LightHouse Beach Bar and Kitchen draws a relaxed crowd looking to combine daytime drinking with late-night socialising in one of Krabi's most laid-back island settings. The combination of bar and kitchen means visitors can settle in for the long haul, moving from afternoon bites into evening cocktails without needing to move on. The atmosphere leans casual and coastal, fitting comfortably into Koh Lanta's unhurried vibe. Whether guests arrive for a sundowner or stay well into the early hours, the venue holds its own as a gathering spot for both travellers and those based on the island for longer stretches. Its consistent hours across every day of the week make it a reliable anchor point regardless of when plans come together. Good to know: LightHouse opens at noon daily and runs through to 2am, making it one of the later options on the island for those who want to extend their night. No website is currently listed, so it is worth stopping in or asking locally about any specials or events rather than trying to book or check menus in advance. Comfortable, casual clothing suits the beach bar setting perfectly.

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.
