Lamai Cocktails

Right on Lamai’s main drag, this little cocktail den keeps the island lubricated from late afternoon to last orders. Shakers rattle, classic hits bounce off bright comic-book art and film posters, and the staff move fast without ever losing the smile. It’s the kind of place you wander into “for one” and somehow leave after three. Go for the prices, stay for the pours. Happy hour runs every day from 3pm to 6pm with cocktails at 75 THB (~$2). After that, it’s still a steal at 98 THB (~$2.70) until 1am. Ask for the Tom Yum cocktail if you like a spicy-sour kick, or keep it classic with a mojito or gin tonic — they’re balanced, cold, and not shy on the booze. Beer, softs, and simple mixers are on hand if your crew isn’t all on cocktails. Time it right: swing by at 5pm to catch happy hour before dinner, or roll in around 10pm when the strip is buzzing and the bar hits its stride. It’s easy to find — 124/93 Had Lamai Road — a short stroll from the beach and perfect for a pre-bar-hop starter or a last round on the walk home. The vibe skews friendly and unfussy: travelers swapping island tips, long-stayers catching up, everyone welcome. Practical note: bring cash; as of March 2026 they’re cash only. Daily hours are 3pm–1am, but it’s an island — things can slide a little later on busy nights.
