Resident and guest DJs: House, techno, electro and trance for amateurs. Might as well tell you that the sound is played at a deafening volume! Lady's night on Thursdays with live percussion. Animations and dance shows are sometimes part of the party. Best club in the neighborhood!
CHEAP CHARLIE’S BAR
Read moreThis small open-air bar, close to the BTS On Nut, is a Bangkok institution. It's very popular with Thais, expats and a few thirsty tourists passing by. In fact, every evening there's a small crowd in front of this bar, which is really just a counter open onto the street. Prices are very affordable and the motley wooden decor is pretty cool. You can also order small dishes to mop up a bit... One flaw, however: it's not big enough! By the way, "Cheap Charlie" is an expression meaning "cheapskate"...
TELEPHONE PUB - UP STAIRS RESTAURANT - KARAOKE
Read moreAlso sometimes called "Jurassic Park", because the older members of the gay community are the ones who frequent this bar, which has been open since 1987.

You sip your cocktail or your glass of wine, lulled by pleasant music in a subdued atmosphere. A chic and charming address, ideal for a romantic moment.

SUNFLOWER BEACH BAR & RESTAURANT
Read moreReopened in March 2023 after a 3-year closure, this beachfront establishment is housed in a one-storey wooden house with the silhouette of a boat, just before the small bridge that provides access to the Phi Phi View Point hotel. The establishment features a small circular bar and rustic tables set directly on the beach. Planks or mats serve as seats. A great place to enjoy a drink and watch the sun go down.
REGGAE BAR
Read moreDon't trust the name of this bar, which is the antithesis of what he's proposing. Its originality, and its fame, is due to the presence of a ring for customers to compete in Muay Thai to win a bucket of alcohol. For the most daring, beware of too much, in the nose or elsewhere! Of course, sometimes that ends badly. Without this entertainment, this bar is totally tasteless, the drinks are quite expensive, the staff are not particularly friendly and the toilets are a disaster. Warm and alcoholic atmosphere, you'll be warned!
TIMBER HUT
Read moreYou can't miss this big brick building! This bar-restaurant opened in the early 1990s by a Frenchman is an institution in Phuket. You can eat and, above all, drink there! A friendly place to spend lively evenings, far from the cliché tourist bars of Patong. A group of Thai musicians puts the atmosphere from 10pm, to leave the place to a DJ around 11:30pm. For those who want to see what rock bars look like in Thailand!
ROCKIN' ANGELS BLUES CAFE & BAND
Read moreA very small bar whose frequentation is random, but where the blues and rock'n'roll atmosphere is quite nice. Vinyl sleeves adorn the walls. The owner plays in the band that gives his name to the bar, expect a style close to Rodriguez, the interpreter of the famous Sugarman. Fans can also take part in a beef! If the mood rises, the audience pushes the chairs and starts dancing. A place with character!
LONG CAFE
Read moreThe name displayed is in Thai and Chinese, but you'll quickly find this modern little café along the Nan River, near the bridge and the Dragon River Avenue Hotel. Indeed, its charming Sino-style architecture sets it apart from other establishments. The air-conditioned, high-ceilinged room is very elegant: pleasant decor, attractive street art on a large brick wall, small more intimate corners... A wide selection of coffees and teas, hot and iced, plus a few snacks (especially dim sum).
THE ISLANDER
Read moreOne of Chaweng's major nightlife venues. À la carte: a dozen different beers and English dishes. British style pub-restaurant open since 1995 and run by Damien. A wide variety of à la carte dishes, ranging from British specialities to Thai dishes and pizzas. One of the must of the place is the breakfast formula served all day long.

THAI 1 ON BAR & GRILL
Read moreThis friendly little street-side bar-restaurant is nestled in a small soi in the northeast of the old town. The atmosphere is relaxed, the music hushed, and the clientele varied (expats, locals, young and old).

But the main reason to come here is to meet new people, chat over a drink or take part in a spirited game of pool. The attentive and welcoming team will make you feel right at home.

Hip-hop and R&B music, relatively mellow during the day, revs up in the evening. Fire juggling shows. You won't be bored for a second!
TIFFANY'S SHOW PATTAYA
Read moreIt is a colorful cabaret show, Moulin Rouge type but with exclusively transvestites as performers. The show has been running for over 45 years in Bangkok, and is now being exported to a building opened in 2018. Colorful costumes with feathers, choreography adjusted to the millimeter, lighting and sound of great quality, grandiose scenery. For fans of the genre and for others. Possibility to take pictures but not to film. It is the occasion to spend a pleasant evening even if the show is clearly oriented to satisfy the (numerous) Chinese customers.
U-BAR
Read moreBetween Changphuak Road and Main Road, on the street where you'll find the best nightlife, this bar is one of the nicest in the area, with regular live concerts and themed evenings.

Lots of interested girls, mostly Russian...
J. BOROSKI MIXOLOGY
Read moreNot easy to find, J. Boroski has no address. It is located at the end of an unnamed cul-de-sac, a large iron door on the right where the name of the establishment is written in small letters marks the entrance to the cocktail bar. This select place has no map, does not advertise but is always full. At the counter the bartender will concoct the most extraordinary cocktails for you by simply asking you what you like. That's after the magic happens. Good music, minimalist decor, J. Boroski is ideal to start his evening in Thonglor.

Very warm, with Thai decorative elements, vases, greenery, wood and an impressive quantity of seats and sofas, to settle down comfortably at any time of the evening and enjoy the view. DJ's sometimes come to set the mood more consistently. With, of course, a dazzling view of Bangkok.
THE SPEAKEASY
Read moreHow about travelling not in space but in time? The 24th and 25th floors of the Muse Hotel take us back 100 years to the prohibition era. The place, particularly elegant and romantic, benefits from subdued lights. The waiters are up to the task, but what is even better are the cocktails, real recipes as they were prepared at the beginning of the last century. Jazz music for atmosphere most evenings and funkier some nights with DJ.
THREE SIXTY JAZZ LOUNGE & ROOFTOP BAR
Read moreThis bar-restaurant looks like a flying saucer that seems to have landed on the roof of the Hilton Millenium. It offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the Chao Praya River. Contrary to what you might think, the drink prices are similar to what you might pay at Skybar. The music is provided by a jazz band. A chic address to enjoy an excellent cocktail, or a glass of wine, in a romantic atmosphere.
NARZ
Read moreIt is located near Soi Cowboy, but the majority of the clientele is made up of students. Three halls, therefore three dance floors (only one is open when there are few people), for hip hop, trance and house lovers, eight bars, the Narz, known a few years ago as Narcissus, is installed in a large building which often hosts European DJ's. Going in after midnight is when the atmosphere gets a little warmer. A place with a bit of a strange atmosphere sometimes... A curiosity.

The establishment is laid out on two floors. On the kitchen side, Thai and international specialties of good quality.

Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
BUSH GARDEN BAR & RESTAURANT
Read moreThe Bush Garden is a really nice place, thanks to the pool tables and the cold beer and cocktails. Fans who want to challenge the waitresses are warned: they are real professionals! On the way out, there are stairs on the left. One of the most amazing shows is in this basement bar (the Thermae). Others will tell you it's one of the creepiest. For adults only!
INFINITY BEACH CLUB
Read moreIt's a nice place to spend the day. There is a beautiful infinity pool, access to the beach, a bar where you can enjoy delicious cocktails and two restaurants offering a variety of Thai and Western specialties. In the evening, the mood rises. Sometimes musicians join the DJ for an original musical playlist. The establishment is also well placed to admire a sunset. In short, an open-air club, popular with both Full Moon partygoers and long-distance tourists.
SIAM NIRAMIT PHUKET
Read moreBefore the show you can walk around the traditional Thai village and participate in various activities. This is a great show highlighting Thai culture in all its facets throughout the country's history. Beautiful sets and costumes. One downside, however, is the presence of elephants trained to do Hula Hoop and other acrobatics... A real sadness, but little by little the mentalities change, as well in Thailand as among the tourists... Transfer to and from your hotel taken care of.
TOP ROCK BAR
Read moreYou have to climb a long staircase (almost 150 steps ! !) to reach the Top Rock Bar, but your efforts will be rewarded. A wonderful place to admire the panoramic view of Ang Thong, from the terrace where one sits (lies down?) around coffee tables on large cushions. They also serve good Thai food, but people come here more for a drink, especially one of their very good cocktails, while watching the sunset. The hippy shed atmosphere is very pleasant, a great place to stroll.

A nice place to start your evening!
RED SKY BAR
Read moreThis bar is definitely one of the top 10 most popular bars in the Thai capital. To get to the worm's mouth, which resembles those in the Hobbit movie, part3, you'll have to go to Central World and enter via the Centara Grand. Take the first elevator to the lobby on the 23rd floor, then another to the 55th floor. Walk up one floor and take the last tiny elevator. Up there, a small, round bar with a 360° view, a DJ and delicious but relatively expensive champagne cocktails.
WHY NOT BAR
Read moreAccess to this beach bar is via the Kantiang Bay View Resort. This is a beach bar in all its glory!

The cocktails are carefully prepared. A fire juggling show is scheduled every evening at 8.30pm. The adjoining restaurant belongs to the resort. A must on the island.
THE BOX
Read moreThe lounge bar-restaurant is perfect for an evening drink and socializing. A place renowned on the island for its cocktails. A very convivial place! With its original, eco-friendly architecture, the 9-room boutique resort was built from abandoned shipping containers, hence the name The Box. And the results are clear to see: the decor is modern and stylish. The containers are covered with wooden planks, and the effect is very successful. Manager Jabier will make you feel right at home.
