Reggae Bar
The kind of bar you drift into after a day on the water and leave much later than planned. It sits on the Ao Nang strip, open-sided so the evening air moves through, with a reggae playlist doing most of the work on mood. Nobody's dressed up. Nobody's rushing.
Cocktails are the main event, tropical stuff and the classics, at prices that don't punish a second round. The crowd is a mix of travellers and locals, and it's an easy room to talk to strangers in, which makes it a good pick if you're solo or a pair who don't fancy a quiet dinner. If you want a club, a big sound system and a dance floor, this isn't that. It's a sit, drink, chat sort of place, and it's better for it.
My advice is to turn up not long after opening. You'll get a decent seat, the strip is still calm, and you can watch it fill up around you rather than fighting your way in at eleven.

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.
Nearby Places
Breakers Bar
A laid-back island bar open daily from morning until late, offering drinks in the Phi Phi Islands.
