The Lazy Bar and Guesthouse

If you like chaos, welcome!
When we arrived, smiling and in a good mood, we were immediately put in the mood. Indeed, Bob, not finding our reservation, yelled at us. After 10 minutes of bad faith from Bob and arguments on our part, we were able to get a room (dirty, empty bottles under the beds, broken sink, pieces of wall falling down.).
The next day, we had to change rooms. And what a surprise! No sheets, only a dirty mattress and the pillowcases that previous guests had slept on.
Throughout the stay, Bob was obnoxious, had lots of mood swings.
Fortunately, his wife, always smiling, made herself available to try to make our stay more pleasant. Thanks to her!
The day we left, Bob kicked us out without any kindness, only to give the key to a customer 20 seconds later (no cleaning done between 2 visits).
Despite the presence of his wife, it was impossible for us to feel comfortable in this place, fearing the next adventures.
We don't recommend this place unless you want to test and push your limits.
PS: the star awarded is only for Bob's wife.

Best bar in all of Thailand. Bob and his wife are so welcoming and the best people we have met here the whole trip. Look forward to coming back in years to come. Amazing food here also, the Tom yum is a must try! Thank you both again!

Mr. Bob and his bar was very nice. Good reagge music and billard. I haven't been to guest house.

We booked a room with air conditioning.
When we arrived Bob the owner was very nice. He briefly showed us the room and then immediately took the remote control for the air conditioning. While he let us into the room, he immediately involved us in a conversation so that we couldn't really look at the room because he immediately took us out again and sold us his overpriced weed. You have to say that it was our fault because we couldn't say no because we also thought maybe he was really cool and would support him by buying something from him. Then we went back to the room and were just wondering how the air conditioning works without a remote control. I wanted to go to the toilet and that's when we really saw how dirty everything was. In the bathroom there were still old bottles and people's trash lying around in front of it and it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. My friend became alarmed and wanted to clean the toilet himself when we discovered that the flush didn't even work. When we noticed that other people's trash was still here, we asked ourselves whether the bed had even been freshly made. In general it was just very dirty. Then we pointed out to Bob that the toilet wasn't working and asked how the air conditioning worked. Then he got a little strange and said we paid so little because there was no air conditioning. He said he would repair the toilet otherwise we could use another one that was outside the room. He also offered us a super overpriced scooter and you could generally tell that he wanted money. Even after we bought his expensive weed he couldn't let us out and offered us an old beer instead. In general we didn't feel comfortable with him and had reservations about spending the night with him. We went to the beach to eat and thought about it and then rented new accommodation. Since we were really a little afraid of him, we were nervous and thought about asking him that we wanted to check out because of all the things, but we were afraid that he would get aggressive. So in the end we packed our things, handed him the key and just left.
Never again. He shouldn't be allowed to serve guests

So I understand the other negative comments and it's true, Bob is not your friend, he is not here to take care of you but for the money. Everything he does (when you let him do it) is for the money. So if you look to play games and have a crazy time that will challenge you you should definetly come here. If you look to a have a quiet peaceful time this not the place to go. I am in the latter category, that's why I give 1 star.

But even if you come here, just have beers and make sure you never pay his drinks as he will try to make you do it. Don't buy marijuana as you can find the same and better down the road for 70% less.

My story is that I was here having a good time with my girlfriend and meeting some other tourists there, who where very nice! Bob told me to talk to them because it was only us.

Later when the time came and we wanted to leave, we had to pay. So in my bad, I didnt have left a lot of cash, Bob says we need to pay 1050 THB. I ask why, and he immediatly says actually it's 850 THB. For 2 beers (2x100), 1 cocktail (250), 2 rum and coke (200x2). It is notable to know that you need to make sure when he asks you to pay for his drink to say no very clearly, otherwise Bob will misunderstand in purpose to trick you. That's why I payed extra 200 THB.

850 THB but I don't have so much in cash and I need to withdraw, so I tell him if I can transfer him to a bank account he says yes.

I transfer, he says he hasn't received and that he doesnt want me to pay by transfer anymore, although I already pay. He starts being very aggressive, and telling me to go find the cash.

It is ok to challenge him for fun because and keep your mind clear when he insists and starts being aggressive cause he can't do nothing. And if you stay calm and not triggered, even though he is still angry and aggressive he realises he cannot **** with you. Told my girlfriend to go withdraw, I cancelled the transfer on my phone and refunded as I can do that. He told me to go bring the cash but I told my girlfriend to go for 3 reasons, I didn't want her to stay alone with him and being manipulated, I wanted to stay and confront him in a peaceful way so he can see that his tricks don 't work on me and he can't hide.

At this point there were other customers that were here and I went to talk to them to be careful not pay by transfer because it is not working, at what Bob responded annoyed, you don't need to be here, they have cash, they are not my problem.

He always tries to make you feel like you are weird just to hide the fact he is acting weird. Asking me what's wrong with me. The same person that asks me to gather with people, tells me later to stay away.

For me it was a very funny experience as I almost got scammed, but didn't, made fun of Bob as he is like a kid, kids are funny and entertaining but you should never give them power over you, and you need to be in control of the situation to, not letting him do what he wants.

Definetly not gonna go again but It's good to challenge yourself from time to time.

All the reviews are legit. Bring small money if you truly wanna visit, because bob will not have change for you and of course will over charge you and keep selling weed to you.

DO NOT COME HERE unless you want to get scammed. Tried selling me 1g for 1000 baht when down the road it is 400. Got aggressive with me when I didn't want to pay so much so I left. The bar itself is lovely and could be a really nice place if the owner was friendlier!: (

Worst experience in Thailand- did not feel safe. Went in to get a spliff, prices ranged from 600-1000 baht for one gram (very expensive compared to every other place we have been) Kindly explained this was a bit out of our price range and that we only wanted a little bit and politely asked if he would be willing to do a half gram but said if not no problem we would just stay for one drink instead. The owner said we were welcome to use his rolling papers for free or that he would roll it himself for us. Proceed to measure out 0.5 but between paying for it he said it will be 600 not 500 now. He tried to argue he was giving us more weed but we didn’t want more, we just wanted what we had already agreed to pay. Politely explained again we were only after a half gram and didn’t want to spend so much. At this point he raised his voice and became intimidating. He kept calling myself and my partner “snakes with no heart” and started ranting about he needs money for himself and we shouldn’t be so cheap. Acting like we were the ones trying to scam him! We explained we had been honest from the start and clearly explained we only wanted a little bit, we told him at 500 baht for 0.5 grams that is some expensive weed anyway but we were there as we wanted to support his local business. He carried on ranting at us being more and more unkind, he then proceeded to throw my change on the table and then insisted we paid more if we wanted to use his rolling papers. He then asked if we wanted to buy a drink but of course at this point we just wanted to leave. Didn’t read the reviews before visiting as why would we… we only popped in for a spliff! But wish we had. The owner was the most unfriendly and imitating person we have met in our whole trip!

Also states the weed is very high class from Europe… a few days later went into another local weed shop who knows the lazy bar owner, he explained the lazy bar owner actually buys all his weed from that shop (and that’s it’s all grown in Thailand) and the weed there was much cheaper then what is being sold at the lazy bar. Complete rip off. A real shame as this place has great potential… cosy cool bar in a quiet location, if the owner was honest with his prices and didn’t intimidate and try to manipulate people, I’m sure it would be a busy popular spot!

Terrible experience at this guesthouse. Owner took advantage of me so bad I had to leave early. Place is not safe be very careful! Vacation has been ruined because of the owner named Bob.

Scammed us for 3000 baht. Owner ia violent and racist stay away at all cost. 700 baht for a cocktail.

Dishonest and unhealthy "bob". Stole money from us.
Seems crazy and violent.believe the comments and DO NOT come to this place, for your security.

Owner Bob scammed us for 1800 baht and got very aggressive once confronted. He tried to fight my 18 year old nephew calling him racist names towards indians. What should have cost 650 ended up costing 1800. Biggest scam location in Krabi. I SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS. BEWARE!

The owner is Bob, he is a good guy. People before me have left negative reviews about him, he is just forward. If you talk with him you will find out he has a good. This place is the coolest spot in Ao Nang. Stop for a drink when your passing. I'm a ' farang ' BTW who lives in Ao nang. Love you Bob.everything little thing going to be alright

Tourist trap scammer, overcharged on drinks and an excursion. Told we were getting elephant sanctuary, took us to some inhumane shed on the side of the road. DO NOT GO HERE.

Warning! Tourist trap! Bar and guesthouse is run by a violent con artist scammer named bob. He charged us 4000 baht in return for a full day tour in a trike and then brought us to the most grimy places where elephants were abused instead of the places he had shown us on a pamphlet. We were supposed to bathes the elephants but instead they were so distraught we couldn't approach them. When he refused to give us our money back he got extremely violent and pulled out a knife. Be very careful read the reviews this man is dangerous and he will steal your money! Once back in town the taxi drivers told us it only cost 500 baht to go to the place we went.

The place is unhygienic and the owner was extremely rude. We did not felt comfortable or safe staying there. Please do not stay there. Please DO NOT stay here.

There was a huge pile of garbage right in front of the room the owner refused to remove it. There were fights and shouting early in the morning.

Ripped us off. Don't go. Seems like he's friendly but he's a rip-off merchant.

The Place for you if you want to chill, smoke and meet some nice and interesting people. You just have to make boundaries very clear and you will have a good time.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 4 nights. The Location itself is super cool with a big chillout area on the first floor and the Bar downstairs. You can put your own music if you want.

The room we got was clean and ok for the price of 450 Bath per night, which was one of the lowest here in Ao nang.

Since we only drink beer, we cannot say anything about food or cocktails. One small beer costs 100 bath, which is not cheap but also not an unusual price to pay in Ao nang.

Adressing the comments about the owner: Yes, Bob tends to be very pushy if he sees a Chance to sell you weed etc. We made it very clear from the beginning that we are not interested and he respected that.

We also talked about this to his brother Raj, who ist just the sweetest rastaman ever and fits perfectly in here. We got the impression that these issues are getting worked on and had an Overall very pleasant stay here at lazybar.

DO NOT go here. The owner is super shady and extremely rude! The place wasn't hygienic at all!

We were not comfortable here at all. The place should be shut down

Rip-off merchant - scammy owner

A real shame about the owner as it’s a lovely bar. We were staying over the road and passed by a few times, but it was always dead. Walking back one evening there was nice live music and a few people.
On arrival, the owner was friendly but in a passive aggressive way. 4 other foreigners showed up and the owner told them to leave for no clear reason.
We had some drinks and got talking to some other people. The owner joined in but passive aggressively again. Was pushy to sell more drinks and his weed.
When we left our bill was ridiculous for the drinks we had! I just paid as am not great working out the exchange rate yet after a few drinks! But realised after we’d been well and truly ripped off.
We’d been planning to spend the next day there but obviously didn’t after we were ripped off. Owner had complained he had no customers. Mate! Just be friendly and charge people a clear and fair price and your otherwise lovely bar will be packed! Seems like a no-brainer. Odd business model! Wish we’d read the reviews first! Avoid this place!
