Why go, and how to do it well
Buddy By Bus is a mid-range bar and pub situated in the heart of Buriram's Nai Mueang district, offering locals and travelers a reliable spot to unwind after a day exploring the region. With a consistent following reflected in its solid community rating, it has established itself as a go-to evening venue in a city that is otherwise known more for its Khmer temples and motorsport circuit than its nightlife scene.
Guests can expect a relaxed but lively pub atmosphere suited to casual drinks and conversation. The mid-range pricing makes it an accessible option whether you are a budget-conscious backpacker or a traveler looking for a comfortable night out without blowing the budget. Its central Buriram location means it is easy to reach from most accommodation in the area.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
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.
Arrange Your Ride Home
Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
