Why go, and how to do it well

Cheers Bar (ชนจอกบาร์) is a laid-back, budget-friendly drinking spot on Koh Samet, the popular island escape in Rayong province that draws weekenders from Bangkok and travelers from further afield. With a casual atmosphere suited to the island's easygoing pace, it offers a welcoming place to unwind whether you are coming off the beach in the afternoon or settling in for an evening drink.

The bar operates seven days a week from 08:00 to 23:00, making it one of the more flexible options on the island for those who want a cold drink outside of typical evening hours. The early opening time means it doubles as a morning or midday stop, not just a nightlife destination. Its budget pricing makes it accessible for backpackers and cost-conscious travelers who want to enjoy the island without spending heavily on drinks.

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.
