Kid Hod Bar
Tucked away in Village #4 on the island of Koh Samet, Kid Hod Bar offers a casual spot to unwind in one of Thailand's most popular island getaways. Located in Tambon Phe, the bar draws a relaxed crowd looking to enjoy drinks in an unhurried, island atmosphere — the kind of place that suits both afternoon sessions and late-night wind-downs equally well. Visitors can expect a straightforward, unpretentious bar experience that fits the easygoing pace of Koh Samet. The bar opens early at 11am, making it a viable option for those who want to start the evening on their own schedule, and stays open until 1am — giving guests plenty of time to settle in without feeling rushed. Its consistent hours across all seven days of the week make it a reliable option whether visiting on a weekday or over a weekend. Good to know: Koh Samet is accessible by ferry from Ban Phe pier on the mainland, so factor in travel time when planning a night out. Kid Hod Bar's all-day hours mean it can work as an afternoon stop as well as an evening venue, which is useful given the island's limited late-night transport options back to the pier.

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.
