The moon Ayutthaya

4.1(100 reviews)

The Moon Ayutthaya functions as both a bar and a restaurant, making it a practical evening stop for travellers winding down after a day among the city's historic temples. Located in Tambon Khan Ham on the outskirts of central Ayutthaya, it draws a mix of locals and visitors looking for a relaxed setting with food and drinks after dark. The menu leans heavily toward Thai food, and reviewers note the dishes are decent when you order according to your own taste preferences. The atmosphere gets a mixed reception — some guests find it welcoming and enjoyable, while others have found it underwhelming during busier periods when service can feel stretched. The venue has also hosted private events, though experiences with that side of the operation have been inconsistent. A few practical things worth knowing before you visit: some guests have reported unexpected charges on their bills, including a table charge of around 89 baht, so it is worth reviewing your bill carefully before paying. The venue opens every day of the week at 17:00 and stays open until 02:00, giving plenty of flexibility for an early dinner or a later night out. No website is currently listed, so it is not possible to make advance reservations or check for updates online — visiting in person or calling ahead is the more reliable approach.

Visitor Reviews

The food was delicious, but you need to order what suits your taste; it's mostly Thai food. The waiters were enthusiastic, but they can be a bit overwhelmed when they're busy. The atmosphere was great; when I went, there was a brand, which was very lively. I would recommend it to friends.

The food tasted decent. The service was good, but there was an 89 baht table charge.

This was my first time organizing an event here. It wasn't as expected or as we had agreed. They took no responsibility for the situation. The air conditioning wasn't cool enough. The food wasn't as expected. The service was terrible. I'd like to tell anyone planning to organize an event: I'm extremely disappointed.

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.
