Tiki Bar & Swim-Up Bar

One bar you swim to, and one you walk to when the sun goes down.

The swim-up bar with submerged stools

The swim-up bar

Submerged stools at a counter built into the side of the pool, so you can sit chest-deep in cool water with a cold drink and not get out for an hour.

It is the daytime bar: long drinks, fruit, beer, and conversation with whoever else is in the pool. On a hot afternoon it is the best seat on the property.

The rustic tiki bar at Baanpong Lodge

The tiki bar

Natural wood, a thatched roof and hand-carved detail, high-top tables under string lights and torches, next to the pool. String lights and tiki torches come on as the sun drops behind the mountains.

This is the evening bar — cocktails made properly, craft beer, fresh juices, high-top tables for a group and quiet corners for two. It is a long way from a beach bar and it does the job better.

Day visitors welcome

Both bars are open to people who are not staying. The bar and the restaurant you just walk up to; there is a small fee if you want to use the pool.
