Hangout Samui
Hangout Samui is a bar and pub in the Bo Put area of Koh Samui, drawing in locals and travellers alike with its live band performances of Thai music. The venue has built a following among those who enjoy authentic Thai vibes rather than the more generic tourist-focused nightlife found elsewhere on the island, and the service has been consistently praised by visitors as first class.
Guests can expect a relaxed, fun atmosphere centred around the live music performances, with a resident band and DJ keeping the energy going through the night. Food and drinks are available on site, though reviewers note the food leans toward the pricier side for what is on offer, making this more of a drinks-and-music destination than a dining spot. The crowd tends to be a mix of Thai and international guests, all there for the music.
A practical note for anyone planning a visit: at least one reviewer was turned away at the door for not having a booking, so it is worth contacting the venue in advance to reserve a spot, particularly on busier nights. The bar stays open until around 3am, making it a solid late-night option for those wanting to keep the evening going after dinner elsewhere in Bo Put.

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.
