Cold beers. Warm sand. Chalok Bay.
Belgian craft beer, handmade cocktails, and the best sunset on Koh Tao. Open daily from 4 pm.
You came for a drink. You stayed for everything else.
The speakers play something you almost recognize. Your feet are in the sand. The hammock is right there. Somewhere between the second cocktail and the sunset, you stop checking the time.
"One of the best bars in Koh Tao! Super relaxed atmosphere, great drinks including craft beers for good prices."
"An immaculate vibe."
"My favourite bar in all of Thailand!"

Every evening, same time, never the same.
Chalok Bay faces south on an island that faces everywhere. The light changes every minute between five and seven.
The soul behind the bar.
The sun hits the water around five. That's when the first Duvel gets poured, the speakers find their groove, and Chalok Bay turns gold. Behind the bar, someone's pouring. The kitchen sends out something fresh. Someone just lost at chess. You're not going anywhere tonight.
A Belgian beer obsession landed here in 2017, and Thai warmth gave it a kitchen and a soul. Together they turned a quiet stretch of sand into the bar that 225 reviews call "the best on the island." These days it's the go-to bar for Chalok's dive instructors and divers, when you surface in Koh Tao, you tend to end the day here.
No playlist algorithm, every track is hand-picked. No imported formula, the kitchen cooks from the heart. And if you want to try the didgeridoo or lose at chess, just ask.
"You can always challenge the owner with a game of chess!"
Don't take our word for it.
