Lido Beach Bar

Lido Beach Bar brings a laid-back seaside atmosphere to Koh Samet, one of the Gulf of Thailand's most popular island escapes within reach of Bangkok. Open every day from midday until midnight, it caters to both afternoon loungers and those looking to carry the evening on longer after the sun goes down. The mid-range pricing makes it an accessible option for travellers who want a proper beach bar experience without blowing their budget. Visitors can expect the kind of casual, unhurried vibe that defines Koh Samet's bar scene — cold drinks, ocean views, and an easy crowd mixing locals with tourists. As a bar and pub, the focus is on drinks and atmosphere rather than a full dining experience, making it a natural stop for sundowners or a relaxed night out on the island. Practically speaking, Koh Samet sits within Rayong Province and is reached by ferry from Ban Phe pier, so factor in travel time when planning an evening out. The bar opens at noon, meaning it works equally well for an afternoon beer or a late-night wind-down. No booking appears necessary, and the walk-in, come-as-you-are nature of the venue suits the island's generally informal dress code. There is no website listed, so visiting in person is the straightforward way to check current drink specials or any changes to the schedule.
