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

Tucked away on Phaholyothin Road in the heart of Chiang Rai lies Lab Bar & Wine, a cocktail bar that stands out in a city not exactly known for its nightlife. The concept is inspired by the aesthetics of a science lab: LED lighting is integrated throughout the space – even under the drink coasters – creating an atmospheric, futuristic ambiance that is distinctly different from the typical Thai bar experience.

The drinks menu offers a selection of classic cocktails, creative variations, and original signature creations. Guests consistently praise the quality and craftsmanship of each drink. The bar is run by the owner himself, who also works behind the bar, giving it a personal and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is frequently commended for their attentiveness and warmth – a combination that makes a visit as special an experience as the drinks themselves.

The Lab opens daily at 10:00 AM and stays open until midnight. Whether you're looking for an early evening drink or a relaxing end to the day, it's the perfect choice. It's a more intimate, quiet space, not a loud party venue. Therefore, it's especially suitable for travelers who prefer good conversation and interesting cocktails to the hustle and bustle of a club. It's recommended to check their Facebook page before your visit for special events or menu changes.
