Jungle Night Bar

4.7(45 reviews)

Perched above the canals of Mun Mueang Road in Chiang Mai's Phra Sing neighbourhood, Jungle Night Bar offers a distinctive rooftop drinking experience with water views that reviewers have likened to a laid-back European canal city. The open-air setting, combined with good music and a front-row view of one of the old city's busiest streets, makes it a popular spot for travellers looking to wind down after a day of sightseeing. The bar carries a solid selection of cocktails, beers, and other drinks, with the pina colada served in a fresh pineapple drawing particular praise from visitors. Staff are noted for being friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere leans casual and unhurried rather than loud or club-like. Prices are considered reasonable for the quality on offer. Good to know: Jungle Night Bar opens at 5:00 PM every day of the week and closes at midnight, making it a good option for early evening drinks or a nightcap. The venue permits cannabis smoking, which some visitors have flagged as worth knowing before arriving, particularly for those who would prefer a smoke-free environment. No booking information is available, so arriving on the earlier side during weekends may be advisable to secure a good spot with canal views.

Visitor Reviews

Jungle Night Bar in Chiang Mai honestly feels like you’ve been transported straight to Amsterdam. Sitting above the canals with water wrapping around the area gives it that relaxed European vibe, and the atmosphere is incredibly chill. The views alone make it worth stopping by — especially in the evening — and it’s a great place to slow down, people-watch, and enjoy the scenery. What makes this spot especially nice is how inclusive it feels. The drinks and fresh coconut were fabulous. They also offer light snacks, which is perfect for keeping things casual. Jungle Night Bar is a must-visit rooftop bar in Chiang Mai for the view, the vibe, and the laid-back experience!

Chilled out rooftop bar with a good selection of cocktails, beers, and other drinks. I recommend the Pina colda, served in a pineapple best drink in Chiang Mai

Excellent bar to chill, great music and atmosphere. Also great vantage point of tourist hot spot, Chiang Mai ethical rat sanctuary across the road 👀

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.
