Analog Cocktails & Records

5.0(37 reviews)$$$$

Analog Cocktails & Records is a cozy speakeasy-style bar nestled in a quiet, dimly-lit residential area not far from Chiang Rai's famous Blue Temple. The intimate setting, low lighting, and carefully curated record playlist create a relaxed atmosphere that feels like a genuine neighbourhood discovery rather than a tourist trap — the kind of place locals and travellers alike find themselves reluctant to leave. The drinks program leans into Thai flavours, with standout cocktails like a Thai milk tea-inspired creation that regularly draws praise from visitors. Classic cocktails such as Negronis are also well-executed, and the bar staff — including bartender Jazz, who is frequently mentioned by name in reviews — are known for being warm, attentive hosts who contribute significantly to the overall experience. Prices are noted as slightly above average but considered fair given the quality and craft on offer. For those exploring Chiang Rai's evening scene, Analog makes a natural stop after visiting the Blue Temple earlier in the day. It is worth checking ahead before making a special trip, particularly if visiting outside of peak evening hours. The bar shares space with a restaurant, so arriving hungry is not necessarily a problem either.

Not too far from the blue temple, but it's nestled in a quiet dimly-lit residential area. Cocktails were very good, especially the one inspired by thai milk tea. The playlist was EXCELLENT and set us in a chill, relaxed mood. Dont miss this if you are looking for a nightcap in Chiang Rai.

Cozy cocktail bar in Chiang Rai with a super friendly vibe. Great music, chill atmosphere, and really well-made drinks 🍸🎶 Perfect spot to unwind in the evening. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxed night out!

Great atmosphere, service and Negronis ! The bartender Jazz is a fantastic host! We will be back again 🙏🎉

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.
