Corner Bar Koh Lipe

4.4(172 reviews)$$$$

Corner Bar is a well-regarded drinking spot on the small but vibrant island of Koh Lipe, located within the Ko Tarutao National Marine Park in southern Thailand. It draws a solid following from both backpackers and independent travellers looking for a casual, easygoing place to wind down after a day on the water. Visitors can expect a laid-back bar atmosphere typical of the island's nightlife scene, with drinks flowing from late afternoon through to 1am. The mid-range pricing makes it an accessible option without feeling too budget or too polished, striking a comfortable middle ground for most travellers. The consistent opening hours across all seven days of the week mean there are no surprises when it comes to planning an evening out. Good to know: Corner Bar opens at 4pm daily, making it a reasonable choice for early sundowners as well as later-night drinks. Koh Lipe is a small island with limited infrastructure, so visitors should note that the address falls under the broader Ko Tarutao district in Satun Province. The island is only reachable by boat, typically from Pak Bara pier or via ferry connections from Malaysia, so factor in travel time when planning an evening here. Arriving earlier in the evening tends to be a good way to secure a spot before the crowd builds.

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.
