Koh Tao, usually rather relaxed can get surprisingly energetic after sunset and if you like to party all night in a gorgeous surrounding, you've come to the perfect place. Koh Tao celebrates life every day. Most of the bars & dance spots are right on the beach, some on mountain tops.
They impress with stylish,retro- modern or colourful, ethnic design. The owners are very creative & staff is extremely friendly. Drink prices are moderate & don't forget to check out the wicked buckets. Professional DJ's from all over the world spin their best and the freshest sounds are guaranteed. Theme & retro parties with selfmade costumes & silly games are very popular, mostly getting everybody involved. Amazing fire jugglers perform amidst stunning sand sculptures. Well designed flyers all around keep you up to date. The happy crowd never gets tired & basically there is a cool party somewhere every night; no matter what moon is up. Pancake & fried chicken vendors will keep you stuffed and there are plenty of taxis around to get you home safely. Warm-up for the parties at sunset beach bars or stylish cocktail lounges with chilled tunes or music theme nights.
For the more low-key clientele there's plenty of pubs with rock/pop music, showing live sports on huge screens, pool tables, live music & a wide range of draught beers . A turtle style bowling and mini golf invites day and night. Most restaurants have a daily changing movie program.

| Whitening - Mae Haad |
Open from 18.00 onwards it´s more of a cocktail bar than a restaurant. They make parties (very popular) on the beach and in general it is a good place where to spend the night.
