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

Lido Beach Bar offers a relaxed beach atmosphere on Koh Samet, one of the most popular islands in the Gulf of Thailand, not far from Bangkok. Open daily from noon until midnight, it's the perfect spot for those looking to enjoy the afternoon or linger into the evening after sunset. Thanks to its moderate prices, it's an affordable option for travelers seeking an authentic beach bar experience without breaking the bank.

Visitors can expect the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere that characterizes Koh Samet's bar scene: cool drinks, sea views, and an easygoing crowd of locals and tourists. As a bar and pub, the focus is on drinks and ambiance rather than a full food menu – making it ideal for a sundowner or a relaxing evening on the island.

Koh Samet is located in Rayong province and is accessible by ferry from Ban Phe Pier. Therefore, allow plenty of time for the journey when planning your evening excursion. The bar opens at midday, making it ideal for an afternoon beer or a relaxing end to the evening. Reservations are not required, and the laid-back atmosphere perfectly complements the island's casual dress code. As there is no website, visiting in person is the best way to find out about current drink specials or any changes to the program.
