Open Bar & Restaurant
Situated on Chaofah Road in the Pak Nam district of Krabi town, Open Bar & Restaurant offers a relaxed spot that bridges the gap between daytime dining and evening drinks. Its location in the quieter, more local-feeling Pak Nam area makes it a decent alternative to the more tourist-heavy strips, attracting a laid-back crowd looking for a casual place to settle in. The venue operates as both a bar and a restaurant, giving visitors the flexibility to stop in for a meal earlier in the day or wind down with drinks as the evening progresses. The long daily hours — 9am to midnight, seven days a week — mean it suits a range of schedules, whether you are after a late breakfast, a mid-afternoon refreshment, or a nightcap after exploring the area. Good to know: the consistent hours across all seven days make planning straightforward, with no need to account for mid-week closures. As the venue sits in a more residential part of Krabi rather than a busy tourist zone, it tends to have a more unhurried atmosphere than bars closer to the main beaches. Those staying in Krabi town rather than Ao Nang or Railay will find it a convenient and well-regarded local option within easy reach.

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.
