Mayan Tiki Bar

4.9(47 reviews)

Mayan Tiki Bar brings a distinctive tropical character to Koh Lanta's nightlife scene, located in the Sala Dan area of this laid-back island in Krabi province. The tiki theme sets it apart from the typical beach bar, offering a playful, atmospheric setting that draws both travellers and locals looking for a relaxed but spirited evening out. Guests can expect a casual, welcoming environment with the kind of unpretentious charm that suits Koh Lanta's overall island pace. The bar's strong ratings reflect a consistently positive experience, suggesting attentive service and a good selection of drinks in a setting that leans into its tropical aesthetic. Whether stopping in for a late afternoon drink or staying into the evening, the atmosphere tends to be sociable without feeling overwhelming. Good to know: Mayan Tiki Bar is open every day of the week from 11:00 in the morning until 01:00 at night, making it a flexible option for both early sundowners and late-night drinks. The Sala Dan location places it in a convenient part of Koh Lanta, accessible from many of the island's main accommodation areas. As no website is listed, it is worth calling ahead or visiting in person if planning a group outing or visiting during peak season when the island sees heavier tourist traffic.

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.
