Kata's nightlife veers toward mellow.
Ska Bar
(186/12 Th Koktanod, Kata; noon-late)
At Kata's southernmost cove, tucked into the rocks and
seemingly intertwined with the trunk of a grand old banyan tree, Ska is our choice for
oceanside sundowners. The Thai bartenders add to the funky Rasta vibe, and the canopy
dangles with buoys, paper lanterns and flags. Friday nights brings fire spinners to the
beach.

; 4 Moo 2, Th Kata; 10am-midnight)
Perched across the
street from Kata Beach, this bar serves both beer and waves. Well, man made ones, any-
way. The bar pours icy Chang and serves decent pub grub. The attached surf attraction is
a sloped slide that riders navigate on wake boards for as long as they can stay upright.
Kids love it.
Chanisara Juice Stand
(48/5 Soi Casa Del Sol; 8am-6pm)
A terrific little stand, set in front of the guesthouse of the
same name and run by the owner of both. There aren't many places you can blend more
obscure fruits like mangosteen, rambutan, dragon and snake fruit with old reliables like
banana, mango, papaya and pineapple.
