Cocktails By Pik

4.7(887 reviews)$$$$

Cocktails By Pik is a casual cocktail bar tucked along the roadside in Maret, southern Koh Samui, offering some of the most affordable mixed drinks on the island without skimping on quality or portion size. Happy hour runs from 1pm to 6pm with cocktails reportedly as low as 75 baht, and regulars note the drinks are strong and generously poured even at full price. Free snacks — typically popcorn and peanuts — arrive with orders, adding to the easygoing, unpretentious appeal. The atmosphere leans relaxed and sociable, with seating that faces the road for a classic watch-the-world-go-by experience. The bar also has table games and novelty decorations that make it surprisingly family-friendly, drawing couples, groups, and solo travellers in equal measure. The focus is firmly on cocktails rather than food, so while small bites like gyoza are available, visitors tend to treat this as a drinks stop rather than a dining destination. Good to know: With multiple happy hours on offer and prices that stay reasonable outside of those windows, there is little need to time a visit too precisely — though arriving in the early evening lets you take full advantage of the extended discount periods. As no website or booking information is available online, it is best to simply turn up or ask locally about current hours before making the trip, particularly during quieter periods of the year.

Visitor Reviews

Ah I love cocktails by pik, they have like 3 happy hours but even full price their cocktails are crazy cheap. Delicious generous cocktails and they give you popcorn and peanuts to snack on whilst you drink, the staff work very hard to be as attentive as possible. Insanely big menu, they also have a written menu to show you what's in the custom cocktails. They cocktails pack a punch as well don't worry about getting overpriced juice lol. Awesome spot to chill and people watch, perfect way to spend an hour or 2 in the evening, no matter what your plans are.

Friendly and great for kids. They have table games and superheroes statue. We had 2 cocktails and a gyoza and spent 280 TBH. Would reccomend for a pre dinner place for families.

High quality cocktails even during happy hour. A fantastic place to sit in the shadow facing the road and watch the world walk by

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.
