cane and jump a fiery rope to bone-rattling bass.
Chukit Bar & Karaoke
( 11am-2am)
Part of the otherwise forgettable Chukit Resort complex, this fine bar extends
over a long-tail harbour on the lip of Ao Ton Sai. In addition to bar stools with a supreme
view, they have a pool table, live bands and a happy hour crowd. Don't worry, it's not that
kind of karaoke joint.
BAR
Tee Cafe
( 8am-4pm)
They do crepes and salads, but we love this intimate Moroccan-themed cafe
for its selection of coffee, tea and fresh-pressed juices.
CAFE

Phi-Phi for Ao Nang at the same time.
