Bamboo Beach Bar — Restaurant in Ko Tao

This bar disrupts the otherwise peaceful vibe of a quiet neighborhood and a great beach to chill. If you hate your friends and don't like talking to them, come here as you won't understand a single word.

The music is excessively loud, with reggae playing all day until at least midnight. But on the weekends they are absolutely killing it with their sound setup and continously high-pitched microphone feedback loops during live music, making it impossible for anyone nearby to relax or sleep.

While the staff is friendly, it seems they are instructed to keep the music loud regardless of the number of guests. At least that's what I was just told. Unfortunately, the owner appears to be unresponsive to repeated complaints from the neighborhood over the years, which is disappointing for those seeking a tranquil experience.

If you read review replies from a year ago you will see they even promised to improve but yet took absolutely nothing in order to follow that. Seems that they don't really...

By far the best bar on the island. I've been here for 2.5 years and I come to this bar more than any other. First of all the drinks are the most reasonably priced on the whole of the island, that reason alone is more than enough to come. The music is always very good. You'll never hear the same generic edm type stuff you hear in 95% of all the other bars. You can tell the owner cares about the quality of the beer, iced glasses, the keg is always fresh, and the lines cleaned regularly, and it shows. You can also obtain some high-quality weed here. The owner is a connoisseur and has a flavour to suit any customer. Decent music, cheap drinks, very good bud with your feet in the sand, don't know why you'd go anywhere else. Oh, and the sun sets directly in front of the bar, so always the beautiful sunset to look at. The staff go above and beyond aswell to serve. Always someone to talk to our a dog to...

First time that's been done to me.

We arrived around 8:30 p.m. and had to order the meal right away at the entrance, which we did. We sat down and ordered cocktails. We saw the dishes from other tables going past... no problem, we were on vacation and had time. 9:40 p.m. we were brought 2 of our 3 dishes, 5 minutes later the cook informed us that her service was over and therefore no third dish, she sat down at the bar with her colleagues and drank her beer. We ate and when it came time to pay they tried to make us pay for the dish, which was clearly not a success due to a lack of communication with the waiter at the entrance.

So guys, raggae is cool, cannabis too, but at some point you have to do the job, even on Koh Tao, you have to do it and do...
