    FYI: Bang Bang Bar is open! Railay Beach was my favourite place in Thailand and Bang Bang made it that much sweeter. Firstly Bang Bang makes AMAZING cocktails! Everyone I tasted was more delicious than the next. He makes lovely refreshing fruit smoothies/ shakes as well. I loved the lime one and my friend loved the watermelon one :) The bar may be small but it is a little gem in Railay Beach. You can tell that Bang Bang has gotten to know so many people over the years and has so many storied tucked away in his heart from over the years. He is so sweet, greets everyone that walks past, and always has a smile on his face. He would give my friend and me Beng Beng bars for the morning to eat and once cut from his Aloe Vera plant that he had been growing for two months when I had a bad sunburn. A caring, sweet soul who makes BANGING cocktails! Be sure to say hello and stop by after a long day to wind down with a nice yummy drink. Ahh how I miss Railay :)

    first and formost im a indian born and raised in UK london. Indians be aware of this place as his a racist and a bigot. please read on for the full story of this bigot place! to my surprise its highly rated on TA! so went to this bar on a random on the 29th dec at around 10pm. my wife went for a massage so i thought I'd get a drink whilst i waited for her. as soon as i got there and sat down i received what i can only describe as a dirty look from the owner "bang bang" but thought nothing of it and as i had just walked in and thought it cant be for me. i sat next to a group of 4 from San Francisco and we were just chatting as i sat down. the owner never bothered to hand me a drinks menu nor acknowledge i was even sitting there apart from that dirty look i recived on arriving. i then asked for a menu.and reluctantly he pointed to it at the end of the bar. as i chose my cocktail (which was good) i asked the group from san fran what thier opinion was, and as i did this i recived another dirty look. i again thought it cant be for me, (ive done nothing wrong) so i order my drink and off "bang bang" goes making my drink. his inbetween making my drink and someone new walks in (happens to be a fellow British white guy) and the owner is super welcoming. huge smile even going around the bar (stppoed making my drink) to show him to the seat. bang bang then takes his order and makes and serves his drink first and continues to make mine and serves me after he hand delivered the drink to the white guy. i then knew this guy has a problem with me ! but what the hell i was still chatting away with the san fran group so i just ignored him. half way through my drink he served all the san fan  group chocolate bars and left me out. im a 33 year old man. and i hate chocolate but this was the icing on the cake for me. a blatant disrespect. i also heard him say khayak to a felliw worker a few times but didnt get it until i googled it. "Thais have a word for Indians "Khayak" which actually means “Guest.” and from researching its racism towards indians. be warned all colour'd folks and indians. this place is racist. no matter how good their cocktails are. "bang bang" is bang out of order. his a dirty pervert. top top it off my cocktail was 180bht. i gave him 200bht and he didn't give my change (50p) in other cases this would not have been a problem. but i asked for it. out of principle. Avoid. especially if your indian or look it! dirty racist perverted guy.

    We called in for a quick cocktail after reading positive reviews and opted for a Long Island iced tea. At 240 Baht this was certainly not the cheapest cocktail of our trip but it was also the strongest with generous measures of all spirits. It was freshly made to order, very tasty and therefore represented good value. The owner was friendly and chatty. Worth a visit if you are passing.

    We've been coming to Bang Bang's Bar for many years now. Even though it's probably the smallest bar in Railay, it's a real institution. Bang Bang is the perfect host, friendly humorous and generous! The cocktails are insanely delicious and the beer is probably the coldest in Thailand. Because the bar is small, you quickly get into conversation with a lot of nice people. See you soon...

    Amazing atmosphere, amazing drinks and amazing host. Bang bang as a person is such a fun and easy going guy, who's bar is such a nice place to be. Albeit it is a small place in not the most ideal location, you should definitely try it.

    Attention; The best drinks in Railay. They are big and exactly the way they are supposed to be made and how you know they should taste. No surprises when it comes to classics. I’d love to try something I’ve never had before as well. Love this spot.

    The owner Bang Bang is a great guy. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice “hole in the wall” type bar with the coldest beer in Thailand. Would recommend. Much better than all the nonsense on ‘Walking Street’

    Open and full of smiles, stop by Bang Bang Bar! I don’t drink anymore so bars don’t have much appeal for me but I really wanted to stop in after passing by several times. Good news for me, he makes tasty fresh fruit shakes which I admittedly wish were full of rum 😭😂 Really nice little tucked away bar with a friendly atmosphere not to be missed. Thank you Bang Bang!

    Bang Bang is kind, creative, and full of a mellow, friendly energy that seeps out of his pores. He will make you a surprise drink then give you extra (beautifully-carved) fruit because he is worried you might be upset with his underpriced, delicious masterpiece. Bang Bang doesn't create waste with plastic straws, but he does freely toss out broad beans and his signature chocolate bar. His bar has specially-carved stools that look like stumps but feel like racecar bucket seats. Bang Bang dances with children in the street. He is the Tom Bombadil of Railay.

    We found this charming bar in the street next to our hotel.. We walked past it in the afternoon but kept it in our minds because it had a really nice ambience. After dinner as soon as the sun set we went back and met this amazing, warm and lively guy called "Bang Bang". We talked about Thailand while we enjoyed his state of the art cocktails. Maybe you, just like me, had a lot of cocktails/ beers or alcohol in general throughout Thailand. So did we.. Everything started to blend into eachother. This changed however, after we had our first cocktail at "Bang Bang Bar". Actual quality stuff guys, I'm not gonna lie. If you are looking for a genuine cozy spot to hang out, this is your place. Don't walk past this bar when you are Railay or, at least drop by later on like we did! No he did not ask us to write this review.. this place makes you want to do it.

    Best cocktail maker in Railay beach. Bang is a very knowledgeable bartender and gave us good tips for food and local hot spots and made me best Singapore sling in my life. Also was 420 friendly ☺️will definitely go back.

    A bar with a man that knows how to keep the party going. We certainly tried other places but always ended up at Bang Bang. One of those places in the universe that you experience and then think about all the folks you wish could be there to enjoy it with you.

  • 5/5 Nick B. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Bang Bang was an absolute gem! He is an amazing host and keeps his bar extremely clean. Beers are always cold, he makes sure it's to your liking before openning and he also makes the most refreshing whiskey sour for a pit stop on the hotter days!

  • 5/5 Rachel 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Best bar in Railay! Coldest beer, top notch tunes, and most delicious drinks in all of Thailand (real delicious fruit!). The cherry on top, is Bang Bang himself- the man, the myth, the legend. Don’t waste your time, go to Bang Bangs. Cheers!

  • 5/5 Juan O. 1 year ago on Google
    Bang Bang operates the chillest cocktail bar on Railay, and makes cocktails that would compete with the best in the big smoke. Tell him what alcohol and flavour you like, and let him surprise you. He knows his stuff. Bang Bang is a very warm and welcoming host. I would go back without a doubt.

  • 5/5 Patrick B. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend stopping in for a few drinks. It’s by far the coldest beer we enjoyed in our month stay in Thailand. It’s a small bar and we walked by this place a few times getting to and from our resort to Railay West. Please strike up a conversation with the owner… he is incredibly friendly!

    My favorite bar in Thailand! Bang Bang is a gracious host who has a kind heart, great sense of humor, and the coldest beer in town. His smoothies and cocktails are made fresh to order, and they are phenomenal as well. His small, intimate bar is a great place to meet and talk with other travelers and locals. If you are as generous to bang bang as he is to you, you will have a friend for life. 11/10 recommend.
