Three Monkey Bar

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 travellers, 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. Good to know: Three Monkey Bar is open seven days a week from 10:00 to 23:00, including Wednesdays, though travellers should note there is no website available for advance information or contact. As it sits in the Sri Thanu district rather than the main Haad Rin area, a scooter or taxi is the most practical way to get there. This part of Koh Phangan tends to attract a more settled, community-oriented crowd, so those looking for a high-energy nightclub atmosphere may want to look elsewhere.
