Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

A bar like this, the kind you pop into once and then keep coming back for the rest of your trip – that's what so many people say. It's located on Ruamjit Road in Pak Nam, right in the heart of Krabi Town, not out on the beaches, and it's open-air, so you can enjoy the evening sun and sit comfortably and smoke, instead of being stuck in an air-conditioned room.

The host is just as appealing as the drinks. It's often mentioned that the owner personally stops by to chat about your experiences and activities – exactly what you want (or don't want) after a day on the boats. Live music is a regular feature: singers take requests, Irish tunes fill the air, and the evening often stretches on longer than planned. The beer is served ice-cold in an ice-cold glass, cocktails are also on the menu, and for those looking for something a little more unusual, the regulars recommend the coffee martini. The prices are praised so often that you don't have to worry about the bill.
