Camping Bar Ayutthaya

4.4(99 reviews)

Tucked away on Ko Rian in the heart of Ayutthaya, Camping Bar offers a refreshingly unpretentious escape from the ancient temples and tourist trail. The bar draws a largely local crowd, which gives it an authentic, community feel that sets it apart from more tourist-oriented venues in the area. Visitors have stumbled upon it by following live music drifting through the evening air, which says something about the kind of casual, welcoming atmosphere the place puts out.

The menu covers both food and drinks, with cold beers being a reliable draw after a long day of sightseeing. Reviewers highlight the tasty food, friendly staff, and a vibe that feels like settling into rural Thai life for the evening — unhurried, sociable, and comfortable. It works well for both solo travellers looking for a quiet drink and groups wanting a relaxed spot to gather.

Reviews from Google

Went for a walk from my hotel and followed the music to this great little place for a Chang beer.

i love food and drinks.

I think they do not like farang. It opens at 6. Not at 5 like here is mentioned. I could get a beer. It was warm l, no ice . Ok. At 6 there were some other people, they immediately get cold ice with their beer and the menu. After a while i asked the menu, but i got the bill. 90baht for a Chang. Ok. Bye bye, keep the change.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
