Lonely Beach Bar
Tucked away on the quieter shores of Koh Chang, Lonely Beach Bar offers a relaxed escape from the island's busier tourist strips. Situated in the Had Tarnam area, it draws in a mix of travellers and locals looking for a low-key spot to unwind with a drink in hand and the sound of the sea nearby. The casual, unhurried atmosphere is a natural fit for Koh Chang's laid-back southern end. The bar operates throughout the week, opening at 11:00 each day, which makes it equally suited for a slow afternoon drink as it is for an early evening wind-down. Weekend hours extend slightly to 21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, giving visitors a little more time to linger. Pricing sits at a mid-range level, striking a reasonable balance for the setting without pushing into resort territory. Good to know: Lonely Beach Bar keeps relatively modest hours, closing at 20:00 on most weekdays, so it rewards those who plan ahead rather than those rolling in late looking for a nightcap. Visitors heading down from the more crowded northern beaches will find the surrounding area noticeably calmer, which is very much the point. There is no website listed, so dropping in directly is the way to go.

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.
