Top Bars in Western Thailand

Plan to stay a bit later in the evening, around 10 PM or so, as the atmosphere really picks up after that and there's usually live music starting around then.

My advice is to come after 8 PM if you want the bar to be lively. I walked in early and it felt a bit empty, but it really picked up later!

I suggest hitting Jim's Bar around 8 PM for a lively atmosphere. The place gets packed later, so you might miss out on some good convo if you arrive too late.

I recommend checking the daily events as sometimes there are fun themes or performances. We stumbled onto a karaoke night by chance and had a blast!

My advice is to try the happy hour specials - they really are a steal! I saved a good chunk by ordering during this time, which starts at 5 PM.

I recommend checking out the happy hour specials; I saved a good chunk on drinks by getting there before 8 PM... Totally worth it!
