In high season, there is live music every night. The house band, named the Snapper Brothers, delivers a great mix of music styles from soul to funk to reggae to pop to rock; you name it, they’ll play it. Wednesday nights are dedicated to jam sessions (you can join the band as well, for a tune or two), and Saturday night is the climax of the week, with additional local bands such as the Blues Brothers and the Happy Bastards coming to perform.

The atmosphere at Happy Snapper is lively and electric, yet remains pretty cool. The bar team is particularly efficient and delivers drinks and cocktails in a flash. Hungry punters can find a good choice of snacks such as hamburger, fried chicken, French fries and spring rolls, at very reasonable prices on the outdoor terrace. Summing up, Happy Snapper is really the best place to go if you want to party with friends in Khao Lak. Please note that Happy Snapper is usually closed in low season, from May to October.
