Nai Harn Nightlife Guide

What to Do and Where to Go at Night in Nai Harn

What to Expect

Nai Harn's nightlife is fairly quiet and spread out. Most people usually only hit one or two places during the entire evening.  For early evening there are some pleasant, relaxed places just metres from the beach at Nai Harn where you can have a nice cocktail or an ice-cold beer and watch the last vestiges of the day fade into darkness. 

Lorenzo's is a popular café that has some of the best espresso on the island.  A nice cappuccino is a perfect pick-me-up before a long night of partying.  For an inexpensive beverage and a great sunset, check out Mata, just around the corner. It's nothing more than a free standing bar outside of a minimart.  Nothing remarkable about it, but the sea and the sun provide all the ambience you need.

Around Nai Harn Lake

Without doubt the most inventive place in the area is Yoonique Stone Music Café, located opposite Nai Harn Lake, behind the Reggae Bar. The name is a slight misnomer since they only serve food on special events, usually held on Friday nights. The rest of the name is entirely accurate. 'Unique' is a perfect word to use for the funky, eclectic décor and arty atmosphere.  It's also sort of logical as the owner's name is Yoon... Music is another focal point of the bar, with regular jam sessions (Tuesday nights and whenever musos want to get together - it's even used as a rehearsal place during the day), occasional performances from regional and international artists and one of the best selections of downloaded music on the island.  They'll even burn you a CD of your favourite tracks for 100 baht. 

In front of Yoonique and next to the road is the Reggae Bar, which is pretty much what you'd expect from a place as chilled out as Nai Harn: lots of bleary-eyed Rasta dudes chillin' out and nodding their heads to the constant reggae shuffle.

Near these two spots, on Soi Naya, look for Laguna Bar, the local after-hours joint.  Before 02:00 this bar is dead quiet but once the bar staff at the other nightspots finish work they head here to blow off steam.  Also known as 'The Last Resort' by locals, this is where you go when it's late, you're looking for 'company' and you've had enough beer that you're not feeling too picky.

Village People

Up in Nai Harn Village, on Sai Yuan Rd. you can find a few little bars worth checking out. Big Bar has poor signage and is better known as 'The Sauna Bar' because during the day it offers (you guessed it) sauna and massage services. At night it's a nice little place to hang out and play some pool or darts. 

Real pool sharks will be better off heading just up the road to Cheers Bar, where many of the best pool players in the area gather for infrequent tournaments. There is one actual nightclub in Nai Harn, Icon, on the road to Kata.  Although it seems a little out of place in this laid-back, beach bum community, it has a brand new snazzy interior and a DJ pumping tracks out of a booming system. 

Other bars and night spots in the area include Muay Thai Bar, the all-girl run Pukky's Bar, next to 7-Eleven on Sai Yuan Rd. and Rum Jungle, also on Sai Yuan Rd., which is also a cracking good restaurant.
