Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, the big clubs most of all. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away in the Bo Put area of Koh Samui, Fruten Fraten Bar has built a loyal following among visitors looking for a relaxed night out away from the more hectic strips of Chaweng. The bar leans into a casual, unpretentious atmosphere where pool tables take center stage — and unusually, table use is complimentary as long as guests are drinking. A beer promotion sweetens the deal further, with every fourth beer on the house. Reviewers consistently highlight the friendly bar staff and good music as part of what keeps people coming back.

The crowd tends to be international, and the bar has earned a reputation as a go-to spot for those who want a lively but low-key evening without the aggressive hustle sometimes found at busier Samui venues. Cocktail prices sit around 250 baht, which some visitors consider on the higher side compared to nearby competition, so beer drinkers will likely get the better value here.

As opening hours are not confirmed in advance, it is worth checking locally before making the trip, particularly earlier in the week when foot traffic can be quieter. The Bo Put location makes it a natural stop for travelers staying along the north coast, and it pairs well with a wander through the nearby Fisherman's Village area before the evening gets started.

Reviews from Google

Nice Bar for Billard without intrusive girls. The table is for free as long as you drink something and there is an offer for drinking 3 Beer and the 4th is for free. Nice music too and the Bar Lady is so cute and helpful, later at night she also plays some harder Techno

Best bar in Koh samui. The go to in Samui for party.

Well.. This bar has never customers. We are used to all the bar in Chaweng but never tried this one to play pool. Cocktail prices are very expensive. 250 baht. But anyway, I try one. We took 2 beers and 1 cocktail without alcohol. Beers are 100 baht that's a bit expensive but that's OK. But when we have to pay, they asked us 250 for the cocktail no alcohol. What?? Are you serious?? It's a fruit juice!! Even in France it's not that price. I told the girl that it should be a mistake but.. No, it's the price. Well, now I understand why there are no customers. I speak Thai pretty good. I talked 3 minutes to make them understand but still no. 250 baht. OK well we won't come back, and we will let everyone knows how you are. Greedy. Pass over, the pool table is just ok anyway, if you shoot slowly you'll never get your target.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

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.

Arrange Your Ride Home

Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
