Don’t Cry

Located just across the river from central Pai, Don't Cry touts itself as the kind of reggae bar you used to get on Ko Pha-Ngan. In fact, when it's swinging (don't bother showing up till after 11pm), it's more like a grungy semi-open-air club. Packed most nights with a young backpacker crowd, it stays open until the last punter staggers home.
