Went to avoid the pub crawls however we saw it is quite a distance and would require taxis both to and fro. Being a DJ and record label owner I am a little fussier with musical taste, but was told it was 'a deep house night' which was enough to seal the deal given that all bars neighbouring my hotel were Flo Rider fan clubs.
I turned up and was pleasantly surprised.
Selling laughing gas in balloons was a little embarrassing to witness as I had just recently gotten away from that craze in Newcastle to see its found its way here too, but happy to ignore it regardless.
The music died off at around 2am, where the DJ's were noticeably affected by all that they had inhaled.
Alright night, nothing special, and not exactly local, but a nice get away from the chart pop bar crawl bars.

Never thought I would find a three level dance club in the middle of Koh Tao. Danced the night away with my mates and had the time of our life. Kat sure knows how to make you feel welcome!

Cheap and dirty. Diluted drinks, awful pop music, and plenty of dengue carrying mosquitoes. Secluded, dangerous area far from the town. Not worth the journey. Better stick to Sairee.

Expecting big things from a night out at the castle, however with the night being very hot and humid there wasn't enough fans or aircon rooms to cool down. It was very crowded and as we left at 11.30pm, they were still letting people into an already packed bar.... A large amount of people smoked with little place to relax without having any fumes of tobacco. With the hassel of a taxi ride to the venue, it was truely dissapointing. Ps only go if you are into house music!

Me and my girlfriend went to " the castle" last night. Do not be fooled- it isn't a castle and it certainly isn't a club. It's just called castle bar. It's not particularly big and the music isn't anything special. The bar gets very busy and is a struggle to get a drink. Not worth the taxi journey. Or am I just spoiled by bring to Ibiza 4 times?

One of the most spectacular venues on koh Tao. Great parties with different tunes than most other places on Tao. Definitely worth a visit. Also located out of sairee which is a nice change once in a while:) But remember to get a flyer for free entry/ half price entry.

I'd heard about the castle for years before coming to Thailand, many of my friends who'd worked in ibiza compared it to a few of our favourite haunts on the white isle with similar musical bookings and party's that go on all night I wasn't disappointed.
