Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked away on Koh Chang near the Muk Beach camping area, PJ Bar is a laid-back watering hole that has earned a loyal following among both island regulars and travelers passing through. Its consistently high ratings point to a place that delivers a genuinely enjoyable experience without pretension, keeping things unpretentious and accessible on a budget-friendly price point.
Visitors can expect a casual, relaxed atmosphere typical of the best island bars — the kind of spot where an afternoon drink can easily stretch into a late night without anyone minding. The beachside location near the camping grounds gives it a distinct outdoor, free-spirited vibe that suits the laid-back nature of Koh Chang itself. It draws a sociable mix of campers, backpackers, and locals looking for a comfortable place to unwind.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
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.
Arrange Your Ride Home
Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
