Rawai Bars

[freebsd-unix.sg]

I recently spent the last week of my trip in Rawai and as I can not find much about Rawai bars on the forum I thought I would share a few of my favourite and not so favourite bars.
As I said in my newbie thread I was staying Karon to start with but was spending most of my days on Nai Harn beach then travelling back to Karon via a few Rawai bars.So here goes
On the road from Nai Harn to Rawai Beach my first port of call used to be,

Roxanne bar and Curry Shack. Nice friendly girls (especially one called Bee) and the best Indian curry I have had in Thailand. Happy hour2.00 till 7.00 all beers 50 bht Curry with rice or chips 100bht.Well worth it.
Just up the road is

Nancy bar(Nancy is a 6 foot tall Ladyboy).OK for a few early 50 bht beers and a very nice girl called Apple.
Next door is a small Thai restaurant owned by Ganya good cheap food.

Then on to beach road. I only tried 2 bars on this road

The Rainbow Bar and The Candy Bar. Both good bars with friendly girls.
The Candy Bar does not have a Happy Hour but does 60bht beers all day and night.
At the end of Beach Road is

The Freedom Bar. Not my cup of tea.Not very friendly and full of wannabe SAS types and no Happy Hour.

Across the road from the Freedom is a Bar I think is called The Dee Bar as the name was only on a blackboard which was washed off by rain.Anyway it's painted all blue even the floor.
When looking in from the road it seems to have quite a few girls but once inside turns out half are ladyboys.
I sat at the bar and eventually I was served and the lady( I did not say girl as they are all a bit past there sell by date)sat across the bar talking to me I notice she kept looking at a Thai guy over by the pool table.I think it must have been her boyfriend as he seemed to be glaring at me.
Checkbin please.
I left looking over my shoulder jumped on the bike and shot off.
Never felt uneasy in a bar like that before.Not a pleasant experience

5 mins later I was back in my comfort zone a group of bars on the main Rawai-Chalong road.
Dumped the bike at my bungalow and headed across the road to the

Jasmin Bar.Very Very nice girls with the added bonus of 3 of them were renting the bungalow next to me so I would get a knock on the door most days.Have Happy Hour
Next door is
The Asia Bar. Also friendly girls and Happy Hour.
Just around the corner is
The OK Bar.Also very nice girls(Lek and Apple especially)Happy hour.

I had a brilliant time in Rawai( apart from that Blue place) and will be back there the end of the year as there are loads more bars to explore
Getting pissed off thinking about it now so I'm off for a beer.
I also had a couple of nights out in Chalong and that is definitely worth another look when I come back

Yes, Rawai is overlooked. Some places are indeed good for a beer, and maybe a game of pool and/or whatever you fancy. There is something there to suit anyone who doesn't need the bright lights, has transport, and cares to look around.

Freedom Bar used to be a good place for a feed, beers on tap, live music some nights, and more. There was also decent service from friendly staff, who were not available to be bar-fined. What they did after hours was their own affair. I don't know what the deal is now.

It was popular with expats, and the kind of place a man could take his gal. It went down hill when the guy who owned it went back to Blighty and left his son in charge. The decline seems to have been arrested now, and it usually has a few customers (regulars). However, I think a lot are from the Muay Thai set. I still drop by occasionally, but am not inclined to linger; each to their own.

Great route (sic) for a Sunday afternoon drive.
Throw in Phu & Pee massage in Nai Harn - Just down the hill from Roxannes.

The bar across from freedom bar is deep bar, my first BG and LB experience.. did enjoy my time in rawai past three trips, not many good looking girls. Compared to other places, but I always had a good time there in the bars, then onto icon or laguna.

 

[Navywife0827]

how was the LB experience NOM1S?

 

[Pompal 09.]

A bit disturbing tbh, but looking back i've got to laugh and i'm pretty good friends with the LB in question that scared the life out of me.

Great post. I liked the same bars as you did, and Apple at the Nancy bar (I'm not 100% sure it was the Nancy bar I went to, but I liked a girl named Apple, who worked with a young ladyboy). I also did not like Freedom bar, it was boring in my opinion. My favorite bar was the Happy bar (I think), which is next to Candy bar, at the beach road. It had a couple of very cute girls. I think the girls in Rawai are just as nice and good looking as the girls in Patong, Kata etc.

Happy Bar is a favourite of mine, not the original crew any more though.

I went there in July, and the girls working there were good enough for me But it seems the girls change their working place quite often. Last year my favorite bar was Komodo, at the road between Rawai beach and Chalong. Wow, there were some hot girls there. Not this summer though...

 

[Marcus]

Was there in July too, only for one night though, had a very messy night.

The only bars i really frequented were the ones along the beach front and some on the road behind towards icon.

[funnyarmor]

If it'd had never of been for a family holiday to Rawai.. i wouldn't be here today..

 

[HouseMD]

The Deep Bar.Quite an apt name.In Deep sh-t springs to mind.Some right horrors in there.
I agree not so many good lookers in Rawai but I am over the the young good lookers.Most of the ones I have had in the past are hard work and tend to be starfish.

I hope you didn't have the ladyboy with hands like shovels and size 10 feet.
