Gekko Bar (Geco Bar)
Gekko Bar is located on top of one of the highest hills in Bo Phut area. From the ring road go here for about five minutes, not in a hurry. The parking is spacious, there is enough space for 15-20 cars. Top view of the Gulf of Thailand, Bo Phut and in good weather Phangan Island is perfectly visible.
Externally, the bar looks quite normal and does not look like island a la reggae bars such as Samui Camp. Gekko is already urban style, everything is so modern, Thai high-tech glass and concrete. Interior – modern furniture, sun beds, glass tables. Chip places – a small pool with a mosaic gecko at the bottom, and If you flick from the right angle, you can get pictures infinity pool

Information to visit
Some kind of regular parties like Fullmoon Party in the Gekko bar is not happens, but performances of various DJs are constantly announced or sessions held under the auspices of a company. Bar often used for organizing private and not so parties. In the evening it is very lively and fun, and in the usual time – Gekko, it’s just a bar-cafe where you can have a tasty typhoid meal (European no kitchen) or drink a quality mixed cocktail. And at the same time swim and chat with friends.
By the way, here I was in the afternoon, and the music was going in the background, absolutely not straining, and people were few, mostly they just took tables and communicated under a glass of something. Prices are average for this type. places for my ordered fried rice seafood and pineapple shake I gave 300 baht. It can be considered the minimum check. Food I liked the shake too.
