Amsterdam Bar Koh Phangan is where you’ll find the best Koh Phangan sunset. With good vibes and views overlooking the ocean, here’s all you need to know.
How To Get To Amsterdam Bar
Amsterdam Bar Koh Phangan is located on the East Coast of the island just up from the Pier. It’s one of the Koh Phangan viewpoints and is easy enough to get to.
If you’re looking for transport to and from Koh Phangan, you can pre-book all of your Lomprayah transfers.
We stayed in the Thong Sala area of Koh Phangan and rented scooters for 180 Baht per day.
It’s definitely the easiest way to explore the island and took roughly 10 minutes to reach Amsterdam Bar Koh Phangan from Thong Sala Pier.
For those short on time, or that prefer everything to be organised for them, there are some awesome tours on Get Your Guide available to book in advance.

However you are expected to buy a drink if you plan on enjoying the view.
Amsterdam Bar Opening Times

Best Time To Visit Amsterdam Bar
The best time to visit Koh Phangan is between December and March, when the weather is dry and sunny.
The Amsterdam Bari is a vibrant and cool place to visit at any time but if you can be there for sunset you are definitely in for a treat.
We recommend arriving an hour, if not earlier, before sunset to try and find yourself a spot. The cushions really do fill up fast as it’s the most talked about bar on the island.
Around 4:30pm would be a good time to get there, so that you can beat the crowds and grab a fruit shake/cocktail with plenty of time to spare.
What To Pack
What To Expect At Amsterdam Bar In Koh Phangan
As the intro states, one of the best places to catch a Koh Phangan sunset is at Amsterdam Bar Koh Phangan.
It’s a bit of a climb to reach, unless you take a taxi/scooter to the top of the hill, but totally worth it for the amazing views.
People head to Amsterdam Bar Koh Phangan mainly to chill, smoke weed and catch a memorable sunset.
We visited twice whilst on the island and the vibe was always the same. Not rowdy or full of backpackers but relaxed and family friendly.
With reggae music and good energy all around, Amsterdam Bar Koh Phangan will be the sunset spot you won’t forget.
Asides From Sunset
Not only is Amsterdam Bar one of the most popular sunset spots on the island but it also has bungalows perched on the hillside available for rent.
These little houses are consistently busy, creating a homely feel to anyone walking into the bar.
There are two different levels at this bar and from the top deck is where Amsterdam Bar Koh Phangan gives you the best panoramic view of the whole west coast of the island.
There is also a swimming pool on the lower level, for those that really want to chill.
