Audibar | Koh Samed

4.3(125 reviews)$$$$

Tucked away within the Sea Breeze Bungalow complex on Koh Samet, Audibar is a mid-range bar and pub that draws both resort guests and independent travellers looking to unwind after a day on the island's sandy shores. Its location on one of Thailand's most accessible island getaways — just a few hours from Bangkok — makes it a convenient spot for those passing through or settling in for a longer stay. The vibe here leans casual and easygoing, fitting the unhurried pace that Koh Samet is known for. Visitors can expect a relaxed setting suited to evening drinks, with the kind of atmosphere that encourages lingering rather than rushing. As a bar and pub, it covers the essentials well enough to earn a solid reputation among those who've spent time there. Worth knowing: Audibar lists its hours as open all day on Sundays, which suggests it operates with flexible island timing — though hours may vary depending on the season or how busy the island is. Koh Samet sees heavier crowds on weekends and Thai public holidays, so visiting on a quieter weekday evening is likely to offer a more relaxed experience. As the bar is located within a bungalow complex, it is worth calling ahead or asking at reception if planning a visit as a non-guest, particularly during low season when operations can be more irregular.

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.
