Get drunk for 10 baht bar

4.9(20 reviews)

True to its name, this unpretentious little bar on Tambon Ban Tai delivers on its promise of seriously affordable drinks, with a range running from 10 to 80 baht. It has earned a loyal following among travellers looking for a relaxed, no-frills place to drink without the pressure or atmosphere that can come with the lady bars scattered along the same stretch of road. The friendly, welcoming staff are frequently praised in visitor reviews, and the cocktail selection punches above what the prices might suggest. The vibe is casual and sociable, well-suited to solo travellers, couples, and anyone who wants to sit back, watch the street life pass by, and strike up a conversation. Cocktails appear to be a highlight, with multiple visitors calling them out specifically, while the cheaper 10 baht shots are perhaps best approached with a degree of caution, according to at least one seasoned visitor. Good to know: opening hours are not listed, so it is worth swinging past earlier in the evening to check the place is open before committing to it as the night's base. Given its low price point and the relaxed crowd it tends to attract, it makes a solid starting point for an evening out in Kanchanaburi rather than a late-night destination.

Visitor Reviews

Great place to chill in the evening, especially if the lady bars dotted along the road aren’t your thing. Friendly staff and decent cocktails. Not sure I’d recommend the 10 baht shots as I’m sure they’d give you a headache.

Does as it says on the name. Friendly staff and wide selection of drinks ranging from 10-80 baht.

My husband and I had awesome cocktails here. The ladies were very nice! Woopwoop!

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.
