The 10 Best Nightlife Spots in Koh Tao, Ranked
Beach bars run this list, five of them right on the sand, with a rooftop, a cabaret and a burgers-and-live-music sports bar breaking up the run of sunset drinking. Fishbowl Beach Bar is the one I'd name first. Nearly everything sits in the mid-range band, with Bamboo and Freedom the cheap ones.
