8. Escobar Koh Tao: Jungle Festival, Not a Nightclub

Visitors should check dates in advance at kohtaoescobar.com to avoid an empty jungle. Address: Koh Tao, Surat Thani.

What to Know About Clubbing in Thailand
Licensed clubs in Bangkok (Silom, Patpong, RCA), Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Chonburi (Pattaya) may stay open until 4 a.m. Outside these zones, closing time is 2 a.m. On Buddhist holidays – Makha Bucha and Visakha Bucha – no alcohol is served in any bar or club, regardless of license.
Entry fees at major clubs range from 300 to 500 baht, often including one drink. Drinks are paid for directly at the time of order, not at the end of the night.
