Cool Runnings

About

Cool Runnings in Koh Phangan occupies an address at 128/11, Koh phangan, Surat Thani 84280, Thailand, placing it on one of Thailand's busiest Gulf islands. The venue operates as a bar on Koh Phangan, an island in the Gulf of Thailand. Regulars have left 145 reviews with an average score of 4.8 out of 5, a strong record for a bar on the island.

Guests arriving from Thong Sala or Haad Rin will find the bar within reach of the island's main arrival points. The bar sits close to Ban Tai, a stretch of coast known for its relaxed atmosphere and easy access to the island's western shore. Nearby Srithanu and Haad Yao are also within travelling distance for those exploring the island by motorbike or songthaew.

Southern Thai dialects are spoken along the peninsula and on its islands, and English is widely understood in tourist areas. Songthaew pickup trucks and motorbike taxis are common forms of local transport in Thailand, making it straightforward to reach the bar from most parts of Koh Phangan.

First-time visitors can expect a casual bar setting with a loyal following, reflected in the 4.8 rating from 145 reviews. The island's tropical climate means warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year, so evenings are the most comfortable time to visit. Rainfall patterns differ across Thai islands, with the Gulf coast wettest late in the year, so travellers should plan around the wetter months.
