The 10 Best Bars in Singburi, Thailand
While central Thailand’s rural province of Singburi definitely isn’t a nightlife destination, that doesn’t mean you won’t find fun places to enjoy a few drinks and a laugh. Many local bars feature live music and the remote location means you can experience an authentic Thai night scene, away from the tourist crowds. Here are the best to visit.
House of Party
Bar, American, Thai
Often abbreviated to HOP, House of Party is a relatively swanky bar in Singburi. There’s a large outdoor seating area, surrounded by twinkling fairy lights and string lights, and a live band or singer often adds to the ambience. Ask a member of staff for insect repellent if the mosquitoes pester you! The drinks menu features a large selection of international beers and spirits, and the food menu has typical Thai fare and a few western dishes. If you really fall in love with the bar they also sell a range of merchandise, mainly comprising t-shirts with their logo. The bar is located at the Chaisaeng Villa Hotel.
Money Pub
Bar, Thai
The closest that Singburi has to a nightclub, the Money Pub is a large bar with live music and a DJ. Comedians sometimes make a brief appearance too, though their material is in Thai, and it’s common for young female dancers to gyrate and grind on the stage. There’s a small cover charge, but this does include a drink. There’s no need to go up to the bar to order another drink; the establishment provides table service. Unlike western nightclubs, there isn’t much of a dancefloor; if you want to dance you’ll need to do it next to your table. Nights here can be raucous, but they can also be somewhat tame; it all depends on the atmosphere and the crowd. The dress code is very relaxed.

Bar, Thai
Je T’Aime is a cafe, restaurant, and bar with something a bit different—it has a swimming pool too!
