Why go, and how to do it well
Perched on Koh Tao, View Koh Tao is a bar and pub that draws both daytime drinkers and evening crowds with what its name promises — elevated views over one of Thailand's most beloved dive islands. The setting makes it a natural spot to unwind after a morning on the water, whether visitors are passing through on a day trip or spending time exploring the island properly.
The venue opens at noon every day of the week and runs through to midnight, giving it an unusually long window that suits the relaxed, unhurried pace of Koh Tao. Guests can expect a casual, laid-back atmosphere typical of island bar culture in the Gulf of Thailand — the kind of place where an afternoon drink can easily stretch into an evening.

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.
