Fun and entertainment Andaman Sea Coast

A must on the island. During the day it is more of a café-restaurant, with a varied menu offering breakfasts, eggs in all forms, granola bowls, sandwiches, pizzas... Games are available on a self-service basis. In the evening the place becomes one of the bars of the island where the atmosphere is more like a bar, with live music. Foreigners who work on the island often meet there. Too bad it's not on the beach...

It's an amusement park for children's enjoyment. In the evening, an American-style fairy-tale show on a Siamese theme, of course, with considerable resources (dancers, acrobats, pyrotechnics, etc.). Unfortunately, as is still fashionable in Thailand, the show features elephants... Buffet dinner available on site. Photos and telephones are forbidden during the show, and you'll have to queue to leave them... and again to retrieve them.

Well established success. Large bar-terrace open on a beautiful beach (swings hanging from the trees). Seafood and grill restaurant, pretty average in our opinion. Animations every evening: fire show and live music, among others. An excellent spot to have a drink with friends in the evening. In short, everything you need to enchant young and old alike, but beware, the music is sometimes played at very high volume!

Friendly Irish pub on the side of the road, popular with tourists and expatriates alike, serving draught beers (especially Guinness!), cocktails... You can also eat there with Thai and Western specialties on the menu. As in any good pub, 5 screens broadcast sporting events, with a certain preference for the Premier League, without forgetting the inevitable billiards and darts. Every day: contests, games, quizzes... Rock bands every Tuesday and Thursday.

Reopened in March 2023 after a 3-year closure, this beachfront establishment is housed in a one-storey wooden house with the silhouette of a boat, just before the small bridge that provides access to the Phi Phi View Point hotel. The establishment features a small circular bar and rustic tables set directly on the beach. Planks or mats serve as seats. A great place to enjoy a drink and watch the sun go down.

Don't trust the name of this bar, which is the antithesis of what he's proposing. Its originality, and its fame, is due to the presence of a ring for customers to compete in Muay Thai to win a bucket of alcohol. For the most daring, beware of too much, in the nose or elsewhere! Of course, sometimes that ends badly. Without this entertainment, this bar is totally tasteless, the drinks are quite expensive, the staff are not particularly friendly and the toilets are a disaster. Warm and alcoholic atmosphere, you'll be warned!

You can't miss this big brick building! This bar-restaurant opened in the early 1990s by a Frenchman is an institution in Phuket. You can eat and, above all, drink there! A friendly place to spend lively evenings, far from the cliché tourist bars of Patong. A group of Thai musicians puts the atmosphere from 10pm, to leave the place to a DJ around 11:30pm. For those who want to see what rock bars look like in Thailand!

A very small bar whose frequentation is random, but where the blues and rock'n'roll atmosphere is quite nice. Vinyl sleeves adorn the walls. The owner plays in the band that gives his name to the bar, expect a style close to Rodriguez, the interpreter of the famous Sugarman. Fans can also take part in a beef! If the mood rises, the audience pushes the chairs and starts dancing. A place with character!

Before the show you can walk around the traditional Thai village and participate in various activities. This is a great show highlighting Thai culture in all its facets throughout the country's history. Beautiful sets and costumes. One downside, however, is the presence of elephants trained to do Hula Hoop and other acrobatics... A real sadness, but little by little the mentalities change, as well in Thailand as among the tourists... Transfer to and from your hotel taken care of.

This recent lounge bar is the ideal place to sip a cocktail, a glass of wine, or one of the many Belgian beers on the menu. The bar area is covered, the terrace is open air. Nice decoration and friendly service. Billiards. Possibility to eat on the spot, the menu proposes Thai and international specialities. The floor is covered with sand and you can sit on classic tables or on large poufs. Musicians in the first part of the evening, then house and electro music mixed by DJs to dance until the end of the night.

Access to this beach bar is via the Kantiang Bay View Resort. This is a beach bar in all its glory! The bar is housed in a pretty wooden hut, with a well-appointed beach terrace featuring large poufs, a DJ providing a funky musical atmosphere every evening and, above all, a large statue depicting the totem from the famous Koh Lanta TV show! The cocktails are carefully prepared. A fire juggling show is scheduled every evening at 8.30pm. The adjoining restaurant belongs to the resort. A must on the island.

The lounge bar-restaurant is perfect for an evening drink and socializing. A place renowned on the island for its cocktails. A very convivial place! With its original, eco-friendly architecture, the 9-room boutique resort was built from abandoned shipping containers, hence the name The Box. And the results are clear to see: the decor is modern and stylish. The containers are covered with wooden planks, and the effect is very successful. Manager Jabier will make you feel right at home.

This bar, on the second floor of the 5-star Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Hotel, will surprise you with its period teak wood decor. It's the perfect place to come for a coffee or a juice during the day, and then, as the evening falls, to discover the exhaustive list of cocktails and alcoholic drinks. The mixologist, Viking of his nickname, offers you a wide choice and, for those who wish to be surprised, specific creations according to your tastes and the alcohol of your choice. No doubt about it, this is the place to start and end your evening!

Easily accessible by bus, this trendy and colourful flea market attracts mainly the local fauna. Second hand clothes, food stalls, cafes, bars, music... It is good to stroll through the various stands. Large containers house bars and restaurants mainly frequented by locals. A good opportunity to know the atmosphere of a Thai market which is not intended for tourists. The Chillva Market is open every day, but the atmosphere is better on weekends.

The most original and friendly place on the island to have a drink until (very) late... For the afternoon, cushions allow you to contemplate the beach and the boats, to have a drink, to have lunch? The bohemian-chic decor evokes Pirates of the Caribbean, and rum is flowing, especially at night! Curtains allow the tables to be separated in subdued light, it is also a place that can be romantic. Quality electronic music, varied cocktails, without a doubt the coolest place in Lipe.
