Inderpland Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 We're a few guys planning a trip down to Rayong and don't know anything about the nightlife down there. Tips on bars, areas, places to stay (close to the nightlife) would be most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Rayong is still a controlled province due to Covid so mostly shut , only place with everything open in Rayong province is Ko Samed island, it is a designated Blue zone, everything is open there.

EVENKEEL Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The Thai style drinking venues in my area is open in the evenings whereas the little farang joints get hassled for selling alcohol. Funny how the Thai joints on major roads have no problem but a little out of the way Thai owned farang beer joint gets fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Rayong province or Rayong city? There are certainly some places serving alcohol in Ban Chang, but I guess they're not the type of nightlife the OP is after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longball53098 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I have lived in Ban Chang for 15 years. Many friends longer. Farangs do not really talk about nightlife in Rayong City. There are plenty of Thai nite spots. The Thais certainly know where they are and which is the best places. I have never heard anyone say anything about a place to go in Rayong for this or that. But I guarantee you they are there. Rayong is not a westerner hangout area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longball53098 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Sova is open. As for bars open? I don't know the answer. Some of the bars that remain really never closed as the back door was used to get in. What is legally open now? A regular bar goer will have to answer. But the few bars that are still on the strip are just that a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratocaster Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 When I lived in Ban Chang I did all my drinking in Thai type bars and restaurants. A friend visited and wanted to see the strip which I had never frequented. I was used to paying 80 baht for a large Heineken. Imagine my surprise to be asked to pay 95 baht for a small Heineken in the strip. Never returned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
