The nightlife at Krabi is chilled out and relaxed compared to the likes of Bangkok, Pattaya or Phuket. However, the town offers plenty of options for those looking for a night out of booze and dance:
Located right alongside the beach in Phi Phi Islands, Krabi, Carlito's Bar gets its name from its owner himself. Featuring a wide range of alcoholic beverages and an "always packed" dance floor, Carlito's Bar is a prime example of Krabi's awesome nightlife. The Bar showcases Scandinavian and other International DJs playing everything from techno and hip hop to the golden oldies, ensuring there's something for everyone. If you are staying at a Krabi beach resort, do ensure to check out the hotel's bar itself!
One of the two restaurants along the Tubkaak Beach, @Sabai is usually "happening" during the daytime as well! The best part is you can stretch out your day here. Enjoy a delicious starter and head over to the beach. Wade in the ocean and work up a good appetite and come back for the main course. Evenings, the setting is much more romantic and the ideal beach location helps a lot! If you're staying at a hotel such as Anantara Si Kao Resort, you'll be placed conveniently, within close proximity, to most of Krabi's hip venues.
Possibly the most popular pub in the Nopparattara Beach region, the Irish Rover serves an enviable range of beers including draught Guinness. The Irish feel itself makes it a cosy joint to hang out, kick back and catch some sporting action. The pub also boasts an amazing food menu and a mean Wester breakfast that's to die for!
Located ideally on the beach to catch the sunset the Beach Bar is relaxing place to wrap up your day, or even commence the proceedings for an eventful night. Take our pick from a wide array of cocktails or have the bartender surprise you with a tropical cocktail as you enjoy a picture-perfect sunset. Thy have a fabulous list of non-alcoholic drinks too!
Located at Railay Bay, the Freedom Bar is your go-to spot for all-night Full Moon beach parties. Although a chilled out spot during other days, Freedom Bar attracts many party goers during its all-night parties.
Another awesome venue on Phi Phi Island, Jordan's is a fascinating place indeed. In the other day, it's a super place to kick back and chill, while on other days it gets very busy. If you are looking to socialise, Jordan's is the place to head over to. The bar is constructed in such a way that all the visitors are facing each other, thus it is highly conducive to flirt or just make friends. Besides enjoying a good drink, you can hit the dance floor, shoot some pool or simply watch other party goers. This Irish Pub too partakes in the Full Moon Party celebrations and televises all major sporting events. There's even a "foosball" table, if you're one for some bit of activity while you enjoy a pint!
