Candy Bar Rawai on Beach Road is a Thai-style open-air bar set right across from the sea. From the main seating area and the front tables, you get a clear view over Rawai Bay, especially enjoyable in the evening. Because the bar faces east, it avoids the harsh late-afternoon heat, and fans help keep things pleasantly cool.
The vibe is closer to a sports bar: multiple screens show live sports and music videos, so it’s a popular stop for rugby fans and anyone following big matches. The crowd is international — Australians and Germans are regulars — and the atmosphere is lively without feeling pushy, making it easy to grab a drink and have a relaxed conversation.
The menu focuses on beer (including draft) and cocktails. Prices are generally reasonable, though a few items may feel a bit pricey. There are pool tables as well, which makes it a good place to pass the time with friends. Food is available too: you can order Thai dishes from the neighboring restaurant’s menu, with portions and prices typically straightforward. The bar is open 24/7.
One thing to note is that it sits on a busy road, so traffic noise — and the buzz from pool nights — can be noticeable if you’re looking for total quiet.
