Lamoon Rooftop Bar

5.0(241 reviews)$$$$

Perched on the third floor in the Moo 2 area of Koh Tao, Lamoon Rooftop Bar draws locals and travellers alike with its elevated open-air setting and laid-back island atmosphere. The rooftop position makes it a natural spot to catch the evening light as the sun dips toward the Gulf of Thailand, setting the tone for a relaxed night out on this dive-friendly island. Guests can expect a casual but well-considered bar experience, with mid-range pricing that keeps it accessible without feeling like a beach shack. The vibe leans social and unhurried, making it equally suited to solo travellers wanting a quiet drink and groups looking for a convivial start to the evening. The venue has built a strong reputation among visitors, reflected in consistently positive feedback across a solid number of reviews. Lamoon opens daily at 16:00 and runs through to midnight, which means it works well as either a sunset spot or a later evening destination. For the best light and atmosphere, arriving around opening time on a clear evening is a solid choice. Those planning to visit on weekends may find it busier, so arriving early helps secure a good spot. Follow the venue on Instagram for current updates, events, and any seasonal changes to hours or offerings.

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.
