Three Sixty Bar in Koh Phangan - 360 degree view
The Tree Sixty Bar (or Bar 360) was until recently an ordinary unfinished hotel on a hilltop in the northwestern part of Koh Phangan. The place was not that popular in large quantities, but well-known in narrow circles and in demand. To come here closer to sunset with a package of food and drinks, climb higher and spend an hour in silence and peace at sunset - it was worth a lot and was liked by true connoisseurs of viewpoints..

However, a holy place is never empty for a long time and Thai ingenuity (no matter how funny it may sound) worked - now tourists on the panoramic viewpoint are offered some kind of comfort. «No» in this case, it refers to the bar chef who does not try very hard at his job. A little more pluses in karma can be thrown over to the bartender, who mixes quite tolerable cocktails, well, in conjunction with music and a stunning view of all four sides, the bar can be safely called one of the most interesting in Phangan.
A normal concrete road leads almost to the doors of the bar, under the concrete foundation (aka the floor of the bar) there is a lot of parking space for bikes, and the entire Three Sixty is a cultivated open space on a concrete platform, which was supposed to become the foundation of the villa, but did not..
Around the perimeter of the platform, wooden podiums were put together, on which you can now sit, they brought bamboo furniture and built a couple of island-style huts - a minimum investment, I must say. It only remained to fit a couple of pickups with alcohol and snacks from MACRO - and the bar was ready. I must say that the decision to bring tubs with trees here was mega-successful and thanks to their shade, you can sit here not only in the evening hours. The platform is built on two levels, and if you want to improve an already great view, go up higher.
Information to visit
If you want to eat with a view of the sea, then right next door on the same hill is Utopia Resort (there is a path between it and the bar 360). Utopia is a hotel and restaurant with mostly Thai food. But they do not come there because of food (they usually cook), but simply because of the pleasant place and view.
Parking is right under the bar.
Opening hours - from 8 am to 12 am. On party days, it works until the morning. Parties during the season are held once a month somewhere, banners with announcements can be found on the roads of Koh Phangan. I myself never made it to the party, but they say the music is not bad and people are gathering.
It is better to arrive at sunset in advance, an hour and a half. Sunset time varies throughout the year from 18:30 to 19:00 approximately, in cloudy weather you can safely not come, although this is exactly what I did, which is why I got caught in the rain and could not capture a photo with a blue sky. The road to the bar has a steep slope, it may seem dangerous for beginners, so it is better to explore the road here without a passenger and during the day. It makes sense to combine with a visit Mae Haad beach.
You can see the prices in the pictures.
