Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked along Soi Chao Koh in Ao Nang, this live music bar has built a loyal following around its resident singer, who regularly draws visitors back for second and third nights. Reviewers consistently single out the performer by name — praising his ability to sing, entertain, and interact with the crowd in a way that turns a casual evening drink into a highlight of the trip. During peak periods like New Year, the atmosphere reportedly reaches a level where the whole bar sings along together.
The setting is casual and social, typical of Krabi's beachside nightlife strip. It works well as an early-evening spot or a late-night destination, though the experience is clearly at its best when the live music is in full swing. Visitors arriving early or outside of performance hours may find the bar fairly low-key, so timing matters here more than at most venues.

Reviews from Google
One of the best parts of my trip was listening to his song. There are several live bars in phiphi, but I liked this one the most, for sure. And I definitely tell that everybody there seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves!!!! My body is back, but my heart is still there. I'd like to know his name. Could somebody tell me??? 😀
Please give me the name or Instagram of the guy who sings here every night!! He’s fantastic and we had such a nice time because of him 🫶 much love
We came here early to watch some sport and use the bathroom. The bar is ok. I guess it really depends on the music playing which there wasn't any when we visited. There is a picture in the background which looks like Benito Juarez at an angle. 🇲🇽😅

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.
