Scubar The Third Chapter

4.9(328 reviews)$$$$

Scubar The Third Chapter is one of Koh Phi Phi's standout nightlife spots, drawing a consistent crowd of travellers and locals alike to its energetic bar scene on the island. With a name that nods to its legacy on Phi Phi, this venue has built a strong reputation as a go-to destination for those looking to experience the island's nightlife without straying too far from its laid-back coastal character. Visitors can expect a lively but approachable atmosphere, with the bar operating every night of the week from 6pm through to 3am. The mid-range pricing makes it accessible for backpackers and mid-budget travellers alike, and the extended hours mean it suits both those easing into the evening and those looking to keep the night going well past midnight. The bar format encourages a social, mingling vibe that fits naturally with Phi Phi's party-friendly reputation. A practical note for first-time visitors: Koh Phi Phi has no motorised vehicles, so getting around the island is entirely on foot. Scubar is located in the Ao Nang district of Krabi province, and visitors arriving by ferry should factor in a short walk from the pier. Evenings on the island can fill up quickly during peak season, so arriving earlier in the night is a good way to secure a spot before the crowd builds. Checking the website at bestofphiphi.com/scubar for any updates on events or specials is also worthwhile before heading out.

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.
