Songkwai Road runs parallel to the River Kwai and is home to a variety of slightly upscale bars and clubs, perfect for visitors that want to enjoy a tipple without having to mix with younger crowds of backpackers. However, you can still expect a reasonably priced night out along this nightlife hotspot in Kanchanaburi.

If you’re looking for a larger concentration of bars, pubs and nightclubs, follow Songkwai Road north to Maenam Kwai Road, which caters to backpackers and tourists rather than expats. Most bars on either street will close around midnight.
