What it’s like

You’ll meet the crawl team at Choppers, get your T-shirt and wristband, then move together between a handful of Sairee bars with games, drink specials and a big beach-bar finish. It’s a very social, mixed-traveller crowd and one of the easiest ways to make new friends on the island. (Route and venues change—follow social updates on the day.)

Practical tips

  • Bring: photo ID, some cash (not every bar is card-friendly), sunscreen for the late afternoon start, and comfy shoes.

  • Eat first: line your stomach—Sairee is full of quick Thai and western options.

  • Hydrate & pace yourself: alternate water with drinks; the crawl is a marathon, not a sprint.

  • Respect the beach & locals: use bins, avoid glass on the sand, and don’t swim after drinking.

  • Getting home: Sairee is walkable; otherwise arrange a taxi pickup point before it gets late.

Tickets & where to buy

At present the crawl is in-person sign-up only at Choppers Sports Bar from 18:00. Numbers can be limited on very busy nights, so arrive early. For any last-minute changes (weather, holidays), check the official social channels the same day.

Nomads “Bar Hop” (and other hostel socials)

Some hostels, including Nomads Koh Tao, run in-house social nights or occasional “bar hop” evenings for their guests. These are separate from the island-wide Pub Crawl and schedules vary—ask at hostel reception or message them directly for current events. (Nomads Koh Tao contact/updates: Nomads’ social channels.)
