Chill UP club

4.4(497 reviews)$$$$

Chill UP Club is a well-regarded bar and club located in Ban Tai on Koh Phangan, offering a laidback but lively alternative to the island's more intense party scene. Open seven nights a week, it draws a mix of travellers and locals looking for a sociable night out without the full-on intensity of Haad Rin's Full Moon circuit. The mid-range pricing makes it accessible without feeling cheap, and the venue carries a reputation for a welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Visitors can expect a genuine nightlife experience with drinks, music, and a crowd that tends to lean social rather than rowdy. The club setting suits those who want to dance and mingle but still be able to hold a conversation. The Ban Tai location puts it slightly off the main tourist trail, which adds to its appeal for those seeking something a little more local in feel. Doors open at 19:00 each evening, making it a solid choice for an early-evening drink that can stretch into a late night, with closing time at 02:00. Wednesday appears to be the only night the venue is closed, so it is worth noting if planning around a midweek schedule. Checking the website at chillup.club before visiting is recommended for any event nights or special programming that may affect the atmosphere or crowd size.

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.
