Glam Music & Bar

4.6(43 reviews)

Tucked along Soi Thai Viwat in the heart of Wiang, Glam Music & Bar has established itself as one of Chiang Rai's go-to spots for an entertaining evening out. The venue draws a consistent crowd with its modern, stylish setting and live music performances, making it a reliable choice for travellers looking to experience the city's nightlife scene after a day of sightseeing. Guests can expect an energetic atmosphere with attentive staff and what visitors describe as very reasonable prices for the experience on offer. Live music is a central feature, though it is worth noting that performances tend to favour Thai-language songs, so travellers hoping for a predominantly English setlist may want to keep that in mind. The venue is consistently busy, which speaks to its popularity with both locals and visitors alike. Glam Music & Bar is open every day of the week from 17:00 to midnight, making it a flexible option regardless of travel schedules. Arriving earlier in the evening is a practical move for those who prefer a seat, as the place fills up quickly on most nights. Check their Facebook page before visiting for updates on performers or any special events.

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.
