Stoned Bar
Stoned Bar sits right on Railay West beach, one of Thailand's most scenic and car-free stretches of coastline, accessible only by longtail boat from Ao Nang. Its location alone makes it a natural gathering point for the mix of rock climbers, backpackers, and beach travellers who make their way to Railay. The bar has built a strong reputation among visitors looking for a relaxed spot to catch the sunset or carry the evening on into the night. The vibe is casual and unhurried, fitting the laid-back character of Railay itself. Guests tend to linger over drinks with their feet in the sand, enjoying the kind of low-key atmosphere that is harder to find as Thai beach destinations grow busier. The crowd is generally social and international, making it a good spot to meet fellow travellers. Because Railay is only reachable by boat, getting there requires a short longtail ride from Ao Nang, which typically runs throughout the day and into the evening. Travellers planning a night out should check the last boat times back to Ao Nang in advance, or budget for accommodation on the peninsula. There is no website listed, so hours are best confirmed on arrival or by asking locally.

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.
