Kiss Bar Ao Nang

4.5(171 reviews)$$$$

Kiss Bar sits in the heart of Ao Nang, Krabi's popular beach district, offering a relaxed nightlife option for travellers who want a social evening without spending big. With a budget-friendly price point and a casual atmosphere, it draws a mixed crowd of locals and tourists looking to unwind after a day on the water or exploring the region. The bar operates every night of the week from 6pm through to 3am, making it one of the more reliable spots in Ao Nang for late-night drinks. The extended hours suit a range of plans, whether that's an early evening drink before dinner or a proper night out that stretches well into the early hours. The consistent schedule also means travellers can count on it being open without needing to check ahead for unexpected closures. Good to know: the bar tends to get busier as the night progresses, particularly on weekends, so arriving between 6pm and 8pm is a good option for those who prefer a quieter, more low-key atmosphere. Checking the venue's website at kissbaraonang.com before visiting is worth doing, as it may list any current events or drink specials running during your stay.

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.
