Soi RCA Drinking bar

Soi RCA Drinking Bar sits in Ao Nang, Krabi’s beach-facing strip — the soft-lit corner of the coast where island day-trippers trade reef salt for a proper nightcap. The address lands you inland from the sand, among the after-dark dens that hum once the longtail boats are tied up. The bar back does the talking: a white neon “Drinking Bar” script with a tiny bee, washed in violet LED under shelves stacked with Absolut, Beefeater, Jack, and Johnnie Walker Red. Rows of empty wine glasses wait in a clean line; lower shelves hold more glassware and a quiet ready-to-pour order. It reads intimate go-go rather than stadium chaos — purple glow on white walls, bottles front and centre, nothing fussy. Ao Nang draws foreign visitors and mixed holiday crowds more than local-only haunts: couples off the ferry, solo travellers killing a last Krabi night, expats who know the beach road after dark. Incall only — you go to them. Come for the pour, the violet light, and whatever unfolds once the glasses start filling.
