Featured in: The 10 Best Nightlife Spots in Koh Phangan, Ranked

Knockout is a cannabis shop and bar located on Soi Tommy in the Ban Tai area of Koh Phangan, operating in line with Thailand's evolving cannabis regulations. Situated away from the bustle of Haad Rin but within reach of the island's main attractions, it draws a relaxed crowd looking for a low-key alternative to the island's more intense party scene. The venue operates as both a retail shop and a social space, where visitors can browse products and settle in for a drink in a casual, laid-back atmosphere. Its Instagram presence suggests a visually styled setup that appeals to a younger, lifestyle-oriented crowd. The long opening window — 10am to midnight, seven days a week — means it suits both afternoon drop-ins and evening visits equally well. Good to know: Thailand's cannabis laws are subject to change, and travellers are strongly advised to check the current legal status and any relevant regulations before visiting. The venue's website links directly to its Instagram page, so checking there before heading over is a practical way to confirm current offerings, any events, or updated hours. Soi Tommy is well known among visitors to the island, making it easy to locate on foot or by scooter.

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.
