Khao sok bar

Khao Sok Bar is about as straightforward as the name suggests. A no-frills drinking spot on the village road where beers cost 50-70 baht and nobody judges you for starting early. The outdoor seating faces the road, so you get a front-row seat to the trickle of songthaews and motorbikes passing through. Late nights here tend to attract whoever's still awake in the village, making it a reliable last-call option.
