Thong Nai Pan Bars (Flip Flop, Nu Bar, I Sea Bar)

9° 46.1′ N · 100° 3.6′ E

Low-key beach and village bars across both Thong Nai Pan bays, from coconut piña coladas on the sand to late-night village bars.

Practical

Coordinate is Flip Flop Pharmacy Bar on Yai (OpenStreetMap); Wikivoyage places Flip Flop next to Central Cottage on Yai. Wikivoyage also names Nu Bar (Yai; ladies' nights Wednesdays and Sundays), Nice Beach Resort Bar (Yai; piña coladas in a fresh coconut), and on Noi, Easy Corner and Indigo Gecko in the village and I Sea Bar at the far end of the beach (OSM 9.7829N 100.0562E). Guesthouse bars may close around 10–11pm; others stay open to about 2am (Wikivoyage). Much quieter than Haad Rin, so a good party-free alternative on full-moon nights.
