Visitors to Krabi are kept active throughout the day with the high-energy activities that they welcome the relaxed evenings. Most of them chill out with family and friends and are found busily planning for the next day’s adventures.

Ao Nang has a few bars, where visitors can relax with drinks and music - some of them live. There are a few dancing bars as well. Railay Beach offer excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere, perfect after a day’s sightseeing and activities. Coco’s Restaurant at East Railay is a must-visit for food-aficionados. This forest restaurant has great food and even greater atmosphere. The restaurant at Railay Village on West Railay Beach serves mouth-watering Thai and Western cuisines at affordable prices. Here you have the added advantage of tasting one of the yummiest ice creams.

At Railay, the nights are made livelier by the beach parties organized in turns by the resorts. Both at Railay Bay and Tonsai Village, tourists spend the entire night at the beach dancing and drinking. East Railay’s new bar, Viewpoint Bar has excellent parties in their vast open balconies. They put on shows for the benefit of their guests. Special performances with big pins and broken glass and fire-spinners are the biggest draw here. Accompanied by mood-elevating music, the bar is the favorite haunt of tourists to spend the night. Ya Ya’s Bar in East Railay is the place for live music band during peak season.
