We ate here several times whilst staying in Kata. The food is cheap 80 thb for Pad Thai and the cocktails are also cheap. The only problem is the flies- but not a lot can be done about that. The bar is nice to sit in at evening and buckets of thai whiskey with coke cost a reasonable 300 thb.... More

We ate here a few times during our recent stay. The SKA BAR has attached to it, the OK RESTAURANT, so not sure if they are all one entity or not. We chose the OK/SKA to eat at lunchtimes because their top deck was the best position out of the 3 restaurants in this beautifully rustic corner of the Kata... More

Good atmosphere, very laid back, has the best vantage point on all of Kata Yai looking down the beach. Serves good food and has cold beeer.

A good location on the end of Kata Beach, but not over impressed with the service or the average food. Convenient during the day but despite all the posters about the music we didn't hear any on three separate visits. OK for a drink.

We stayed in kata Beach resort and Spa hotel which was fairly close to the ska bar. Turn left when you get on the beach and its the last bar. The bar is just above beach level then there are two restaurant floors slightly higher. The drinks, shakes, soft and beers were all cheap or as cheap as other bars... More

Friendly bar staff, cheap quality beer and amazing views of the beach. They play reggae music all night which we loved. Nice to sit on the edge of the bar overlooking the cove far away enough from the music to have a chat.

Servers are friendly w/o being overbearing and they don't mind if you sit there drinking for hours on end while reading a book. They don't rush you out plus they have good reggae music and a friday night fire dance show with BBQ! Best place to be at during sunset when it's cooler, the beach is bathed in a golden... More

Ska Bar is the place we usually end up before bed. Reggie Music funky decoration with fantastic sea view, and you will never get weak cocktails! Perfect place to catch up and get blasted with friends without messing up around in downtown ;)

This bar on Kata beach provides you with the cocktails and food that you might need at any point during the day but it is especially nice in the evening. Enjoying a drink, listening to some relaxing music and the sea.. Now that is a vacation!

Very nice place right on the beach. Plays a lot of reggae music which adds to the amazing relaxing atmosphere. We came here every night for evening drinks and the fire show which is on every Friday night is amazing not to be missed. Was a very romantic location and my now fiancé proposed there so will never forget this... More
