Ad: Next to Nai Harn lake.

The Reggae Bar at Nai Harn is about the most chilled and laid-back bar in Phuket. There are a few decent bars and clubs in Nai Harn, but the Reggae Bar is by far the coolest. As you’d expect, the bar is run by a bunch of blissed-out Rasta dudes, led by Bow, a friendly chap who has a few good stories to tell.

If you want somewhere to watch the sun set in Phuket, Reggae Bar’s location next to Nai Harn lake makes it just about the best bar in Phuket to do so. If you’re thinking about where to go out in Phuket, Reggae Bar in Nai Harn is suitable for pre-club drinks or after-hours drinks. The place usually stays open later than most clubs.

After-hours clubs in Phuket are few and far between, but there are a handful of reggae bars, for some reason. On some nights, a live band brocks out or a DJ plays. There have even been drum ’n’ bass parties at Reggae Bar.
