Hua Hin Nightlife Venues

Hua Hin isn’t the place to head to if you’re looking for wild and untamed nightlife experiences . That said, with its diminutive but lively nightlife scene you can certainly find some fun if you look hard enough. Scattered about town are several clusters of beer bars (little ramshackle affairs where you can score a beer and a girl), a number of family-friendly pubs and bars (many of which are located in hotels), and one or two discos.

Though the above adds up to a tame after-dark scene compared to Bangkok, Phuket’s Patong or Pattaya, there is fun to be found and several establishments open past the official 02:00 closing. With an annual jazz festival happening in Hua Hin, it’s no surprise that there’s also quite a lot of live music to be enjoyed, from cover bands to authentic Thai acts. And one thing you definitely won’t find back home is ladyboy cabaret Blue Angel. Check this out for 60 minutes of drama, beauty, elegance and glam, as well as dazzling insight into Thailand’s famous third sex.

Hua Hin Beach

Hua Hin’s nighlife scene is growing gradually, with new places opening up and widening the scope for visitors. There are a couple of tried and tested venues that have been around for a while – being popular with both locals and visitors – and we’ve lined them up for you here…

Billy's Bar & Restaurant (Hua Hin Bazaar)
This place exudes pub atmosphere, and has lots of Brits in attendance. Food, darts, sports TV and all the other things that make for a good pub.

Blue Angel Cabaret (Soi Bintaban)
A nightly transvestite show at 20:00 and 21:45 and a midnight show on weekends. Probably different than anything you'll find back home.

Crawford's Irish Bar (Poolsuk Road)
Giant TV's, lots of drinks, and highly regarded pub grub. Popular with local expats and suitable for families.

Hua Hin Brewing Company Bar (next to Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa)
Decorated like a rustic fisherman’s house, this is Hua Hin’s busiest disco by far. Live music and DJs.

Johnnie Walkers Sports & Music Bar (Selakam Road)
Good pub food and lots of promotions. Popular with expats.

Jungle Juice (Selakam Road)
Pool and dart leagues, sports on the TV and lots of local expats downing beer and eating good pub grub.

P and P Bar (Poolsuk Road)
Lots of attractive girls here, and pool and 9-ball are free.

Octopussy (Selakam Road)
Popular beer bar with waitresses dressed in risqué school uniforms. Sports can always be found on the TV.

Satchmo Club (Main Lobby of the Sofitel Central Hua Hin)
A live Filipino band play here every night. Satchmo's is also a great excuse for visiting this classic hotel, reputed to have been Hua Hin’s first luxury hotel.

Cha am Beach

However, there are three small areas in Cha-Am’s town where beer bars can be found. They're not up to much, but all have ‘friendly’ ladies working for them. In Narathip Road, the main road down to Cha-Am beach from Petchakasem Road, there are around a dozen or so little bars. Another area to explore is at the bus station, just off the main beach road towards the south of the town. More towards the north, also just off the beach road, is another small area with around eight bars.
