Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Hidden away in Railay lies the Chillax Bar, a relaxed and inviting spot that offers far more than meets the eye. Designed like a small cabin with a cozy rooftop terrace, the bar provides an unpretentious atmosphere where travelers can unwind, people-watch, and enjoy delicious cocktails – far removed from the noise and bustle of larger beach bars. It's precisely this relaxed, unpretentious ambiance that contributes significantly to its charm.

The drinks menu consistently receives praise, with mojitos, daiquiris, and cocktails regularly highlighted by guests. The bar staff is known for their attentiveness to guests – they enjoy chatting, sharing insights into Thai culture, and creating a lively atmosphere. Board games are available, encouraging guests to linger longer than planned. The music enhances the ambiance without overpowering conversations.

To get the best prices, visitors should time their visit for happy hour, when drink prices drop significantly. Since the bar is located in Railay – an area accessible only by boat – travel time should be factored into your evening plans. A website or advance reservation doesn't seem to be possible, so arriving early is recommended, especially during peak season when the rooftop terrace fills up quickly.
