Pirate Bar

4.3(35 reviews)

Nestled in the heart of the Phi Phi Islands, Pirate Bar brings a playful, nautical energy to one of Thailand's most iconic island destinations. The pirate theme sets it apart from the typical beach bar scene, giving it a character that resonates with travellers looking for something a little more spirited than a sunset cocktail on the sand. Visitors can expect a casual, fun atmosphere that picks up as the evening progresses. The bar opens at 10am daily, making it equally suited to afternoon drinks and late-night sessions, with doors staying open until 2am seven days a week. Its location on Koh Phi Phi puts it within easy reach of the island's main social strip, making it a natural stop on a night out exploring the local scene. Good to know: Phi Phi Island nightlife tends to get going later in the evening, so arriving after 9pm gives a better sense of the bar at its liveliest. As with most venues on the island, the dress code is relaxed — beach casual is entirely appropriate. No website is currently listed, so visitors are best served by stopping in directly or asking at their accommodation for the latest information on events or specials.

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.
