What better way to spend the night out at the beach with a couple of cheap beers, cocktails and delicious snacks than with free live edge-cutting performances?

Fire, bottles, broken glasses – they are all part of these daring acts performed by the Thai locals at several beach bars around Phuket, Krabi and Phi Phi Island. Only happening when night falls, be sure to be part of the cheering crowds when you are at these bars:

1. Viewpoint bar (Krabi)

All the acts put up by the locals are performed right on the beach (Railay Beach) itself. Be awed by their daring performances involving fire, big pins and broken glasses. The atmosphere is also very lively, given the fact that Railay Beach is possibly one of the most happening beaches in Krabi.

2. Slinky Bar (Krabi)

The fire show starts every night at 10pm right on the beach, where you are free to dance and party the night away. Slinky Bar also has free body painting services for its customers and 2 for 1 buckets and Jaggerbombs all night! This bar also hosts one of the best full moon, half-moon and black-moon parties and has a great ladies night every Sunday.

3. Apache Bar (Phi Phi Island)

Taking fire performances to a whole new level, Apache Bar has Limbo Rocks involving fire! You can also take part in the massive Limbo Rock party – just make sure you are brave enough to face the line of fire! This bar is pretty big on its own and they constantly have a lot of customers coming and leaving till late.

4. Hippies Bar (Phi Phi Island)

Hippies Bar have well-trained fire jugglers. Following to the beat of the musicplaying in the bar, the faster and louder the music is, the faster they juggle. You can sit around the performers in a circle as you watch their amazing fire acts carried out right on the beach itself.

5. Ska Bar (Phuket)

Located at the Southern end of Kata Beach, Ska Bar is a pretty huge bar that is built on massive boulders right by the beach. Due to its location, it has a very nice view of the sea and the horizon that stretches beyond it. Their live fire performances take place almost every night. If you want to make sure that there are shows on the night you visit, you can contact the bar’s owner to arrange a performance. Like its name has mentioned, you can expect lots of Reggae, dreadlocks and Bob Marley lookalikes in this bar.
