Koh Lanta Nightlife
Where to Go at Night in Koh Lanta
Generally low key. Eat, drink, meet people at the local bars, sing at the Karaoke, see a local Thai boxing match. Koh Lanta isn't about a rollicking nightlife but you can have fun. After 9 - 10 pm, most shops will close in Saladan Village, but restaurants often open till late.
A lovely place to end the day is on the nice Klong Nin Beach. Try "Richey's" tree house", cool atmosphere, good music and a warm welcome. Beach bars are both plentiful and popular, walk along the beach to find them, usually they'll stay open as long as they've got customers.
From about 19:00 onwards, Saladan is generally busy with many visitors choosing to shop as the temperature cools down or to eat at one of the many restaurants. Surprisingly however, Saladan’s nightlife has not grown as much as tourism has, as many tourists choose to return to the beach or their hotel to finish their evening. Read More...

The northwest coast has the highest concentration of bars, so whether you prefer, beach, traditional Thai, western, sports or even karaoke bars, they can all be found here. Both Klong Dao and Phrae Ae (Long Beach) have the most popular bars on the island but do not expect them to be heaving every night. Read More...
With a higher proportion of Muslims located on this part of the island, bars tend to be quieter, but generally of a higher standard. Do not expect late-night clubbing but a more chilled approached to drinking. Read More...
