The Sunset Club

4.9(33 reviews)$$$$

Perched on Koh Chang, The Sunset Club is a bar and pub that has earned a strong local following for its relaxed atmosphere and crowd-pleasing appeal. True to its name, it positions itself as a go-to spot for watching the day wind down over the island's scenery, making it a natural gathering point for travellers looking to unwind after a day on the beach or in the jungle. Visitors can expect a casual, welcoming environment with mid-range pricing that keeps it accessible without feeling too polished or touristy. The bar operates under a pub format, lending itself to easy conversation, cold drinks, and the kind of unhurried atmosphere that suits Koh Chang's laid-back character. It draws a mix of island regulars and passing travellers, which keeps the energy social without being overwhelming. Good to know: The Sunset Club lists its hours as open all day on Sundays, suggesting flexible, relaxed trading hours that may vary by day — worth checking their Facebook page before making a special trip. The address uses a Google Plus Code rather than a street name, so using Google Maps to navigate directly is recommended. As with most island bars, arriving around late afternoon to secure a good spot for the evening is a sensible approach.

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.
