Great little bar

Feb 2021 • Couples

A great place for cocktails on Kantiang beach. Staff were great and the food was good too. There is a lovely little shop in the back of the bar too. We ended up there most nights.

Plastic bag lunch

Dec 2020

This was the worst experience I’ve had in any restaurant !!
We ordered food from the menu provided by the staff then they phoned the order out to another restaurant which is fine in this times and I fully understand this practice shortly after the food arrived in plastic bags which is normal Thailand takeout what happened next was my problem the food was served on a plate still in the plastic bag !!! Not acceptable at all my wife had chicken and cashew nuts I had a soup based dish so we opened the plastic bags and the bowl I was given turned out to be to small !!! Soup everywhere.
We were the only people in the restaurant/bar
There were 2 staff on duty

The bar still open during this covid time. The place is pretty chill. Drinks are okay, pretty standard for beach bar.

Chilled out evening

Jan 2020

We had a fun and relaxed evening here. The live music set the tone, reggae mixed with some popular tracks. Staff were attentive. And the fire show was better than expected. Great place to chill out for the evening.

Why not give it a go

Jan 2020 • Couples

The vibe at this place is perfect for a relaxing holiday feeling.

I enjoyed the live band very much. There is an independent fire show on the beach right in front of the beach seating at night.

I suggest you visit it at least once. We went there several times.

The fire show at 8.30pm is the best we've ever seen! Staff are lovely, the singers, servers, everything. Make sure you try the spunkadelic cocktail!

Loved it!!!!!

Jan 2020 • Couples

My husband and I were driving around on our rented scooter from phra ae beach and trying to figure out where we should stay for our last 2 nights of our honeymoon. We stopped into Why Not Bar and loved the vibe. We had some apps from the restaurant next door and drinks at why not while the band was setting up. At that point, we decided Kantiang Bay was going to be the best place to end our honeymoon. We went next door to Phra Nang Lanta and booked our last two nights and spent the last two nights at why not bar. The music was great, the fire show was amazing, and the people were so much fun.
It’s not a spring break go wild type of place, more of a chill laid back Beach vibe. Think Bob Marley or Michael Franti.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
Why Not Bar only serves alcoholic beverages everything else is from the restaurant next door. They work together, but their establishments are seperate. Pay as you go to keep it simple and respectful of their culture.
