Bar Ice is Samui’s ultimate chill-out destination, and offers an exhilarating atmosphere and an antidote to the hot and humid, outdoor temperature. A truly unforgettable experience, the walls, bar, sculptures and seats are made entirely of ice. Even the glasses you drink from. A veritable museum with an incredible array of ice-art. Party till you drop, relax in the life-size sculpted ice tuk-tuk or admire the incredible art. The Choice is yours.The bar resonates with music throughout the night, from relaxing tunes and beats early on, to the latest vibes and sounds into the early hours. The entire space is backlit by an atmospheric LED lighting system that provides the full colour spectrum. From ghostly blues and vivid greens to fiery reds and stimulating oranges, Bar Ice takes on a new mood with every colour change. « less

We where on Koh Samui just after peak season and is was really quiet along Chaweng beach, so we hoped to see a bit more people in this bar. When we arrived the garden and lounge was completly empty and the part we could see from the ice bar was empty too. We explained to the guy in charge that... More

I will investigate the un friendliness. You are not the only person to turn up and not go in and no one is under any obligation. Staff are not allowed to give any customer free entry. they do have authority to offer additional drinks to larger groups. But thats all. if you visited early it most likely was quiet ,... More

A Must on Koh ! Just tell them the Black and Filipino girl sent you and say Indiana, California. They will laugh. Then you will have the time of your life (on ice that is!) Cheers! More

We spent the last two weeks in November in Thailand and we'd had a lot of recommendations about Bar Ice before we arrived. It close to all the other bars and if your feeling extra lazy (like we did one evening) you can hop on a shuttle bus which drives around the resort all evening and drops you outside. We... More

I had an ace time at Bar Ice... Didn't expect to be finding an ice bar in Thailand but after seeing all the adverts for it thought would give it a go... And so glad I did!! The staff so nice and freindly, really looked after me and made me feel very welcome. It's in a convenient location and even... More

We had this bar marked a thing to do from when we first arrived in Samui as it was so unusual. We got a short taxi ride from Chaweng and paid THB500 to go inside. That included two drinks from the lounge bar (normal temperature) or inside the Bar Ice. You are given furry hats with ear muffs, gloves and... More

The place is a big freezer decorated with some ice. One of the most ridiculous places I've ever been. Fortunately I squeeze the price down to about 1/3 of what they asked and even as such it was not worth it. Just avoid it. Nice gimmick but nothing more - too expensive. More

You pay 500baht (£12) for entrance and you get 3 drink tokens. The drinks are so badly mixed, they are disgusting. Save your money! Its a bit out of the way from the main chaweng beach road More

This is the second time ive been to Bar Ice, the first time i enjoyed the experience as it was something different and the ice sculptures were great, but even then the place was quiet and didnt have a lot of energy. This time round we were keen to go but had heard the floods had knocked the power for... More

Thanks for your review. Not sure exactly when you visited the ice bar but yes we were closed for about a month following the devastating floods and it took a further 3 months or so to rebuild back to the original standard. We are now back to 100% with several new sculptures, more flavoured vodkas and of course everyones favourite,... More

I am glad we went and we enjoyed it but there was not much real ice in there at all. Like another reviewer said it was mainly moulded plastic with condensation. The real ice sculptures had "do not touch" signs on them. It was something different to do and for the kids to see, cost about £8 to get in... More

This is worth a visit if you want something a little different from the usual bars that Chaweng offers. It's a bit pricey just to have a drink in a refrigerated container and it doesn't feel like a proper ice bar but it does cool you down at least! (although you will feel the heat a lot more when you... More

I can assure you that every block and every sculpture inside Bar ice is 100% pure frozen water. Thank you for visiting and if you... More
