Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away in the quieter Sri Thanu area of Koh Phangan, Three Monkey Bar offers a welcome alternative to the island's more frenetic party scene. It draws a mix of expats, long-term travelers, and curious visitors looking for a genuinely relaxed atmosphere away from the Full Moon crowds. Its strong reputation among those who find it suggests this is the kind of place that rewards the effort of seeking it out.

Guests can expect a casual, unpretentious setting with the kind of easy-going energy that Sri Thanu is known for. The bar runs from mid-morning through to eleven at night, making it a flexible spot whether you are after a lazy afternoon drink or somewhere to wind down in the evening. The consistent opening hours across the week mean there is no need to plan around a complicated schedule.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

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.

Arrange Your Ride Home

Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
